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

I'm Becoming a Domestic Diva - - -

First I came home from school
And made this Penne Pasta with Marinara and meat sauce.

It was yummy, if I do say so myself.
Hubby had more than one serving
Which means he liked it too!!!

But the diva in me wasn't satisfied with just cooking.
She wanted to get crafty too!!!

I'm not going to tell yet what I'm making - - -
I'll just give this hint:

"Off with their heads!"

Ta Ta for now!

Keetha Broyles said...: Jewell, of all my commentors on this post, you are the ONLY one who should have enough "inside" information to GUESS the reason I'm doing this.

No one has it quite right yet - - -

Carmen, I didn't post the recipe because this diva is a short-cut diva. Hunts Herb and Garlic sauce in a can, your own fried up hamburger and that's all there is to the recipe. :-)

Best part - - - I have left-overs for lunch today!!!; January 23, 2009 at 3:47 AM
Keetha said...: Can't wait to see the results!

I'm so glad you liked the bookmark - when I saw it I immediately thought of you and how kind you were to share the Welty book with me.

Alas, I haven't started it yet! I'm not a fan of dark and disturbing but I feel like it's my duty as a Miss. writer to at least try to read it!

Thanks again.; January 23, 2009 at 6:14 AM
