Quotes of Note

You're born a male but you have to CHOOSE to be a man" - Herm Edwards

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that" - Unknown

"They err who think Santa Clause comes down through the chimney; he really enters through the heart." - Mrs. Paul M. Ell

"Thankfully, our true roots are in heritage and not things. I just need to keep reminding myself that things are only reminders of heritage." - Keetha Broyles, June 21, 2010

"Tears lubricate the soul." - from "Finding Buck McHenry"

"Somehow you must come to understand that God is love, that love is the proof of God, and forgiveness is the proof of love." - The Priest in "Levi's Will" by W. Dale Cramer

"The truth about a man is in what he does, not what he says." - W. Dale Cramer in "Levi's Will"

"Fairy Tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." - G. K. Chesterton

This Takes Time Folks!

.
I've been pretty scarce in my regular blogland because I'm so busy touring BooMama's Christmas Open House.

There are ONLY 898 homes on the tour - - - and of COURSE I must see them all and leave a comment. I'm only on 204 as we speak.

See you in April.

(I'm on 345 out of 941 - 2:45 PM Sunday, 12/21)

Have a great day.

linda t said...: So thrilled to get your comment on knowing about Lefse... but even more so when you mentioned the Norske Nook! I grew up 10 miles from the original Norske Nook in Osseo, WI!!! We drive back to the family farm every year from Phoenix and always visit the Norske Nook for pie!

Stephanie Kay said...: Thanks for stopping by AND commenting. I just tried to get on Boomama's and it said she has "exceeded her bandwidth." How hilarious! Too many women at home on a Saturday night wanting to look at other peoples' Christmas decorations.; December 20, 2008 at 8:20 PM
