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

Whenever there is a fifth Sunday in the month, my dad hosts a family dinner. We weren't a very large crowd today but the food was yummy and we had a great time anyway.

Sister Pam and Dad (Peepaw) getting things ready.

Our youngest, Kyle

Mackinley does not forget
This box of toys which Peepaw
Keeps for the great grans.

Piper and mommy, Keri
(Mommy is our firstborn)

Piper and Uncle Kelly
(Kelly is our second born,
He's our oldest son)

Piper and Great Auntie Pam

Someone is grazing right out of the
Relish tray!!!!

Can you tell these two are brothers?

I have a PATTERN to how I
Named my children.

groovyoldlady said...: I find it humorous that debbie yelled at you all in caps then signed her name in lowercase. :-)

I like the fifth friday idea. Nice way to get the gang together without holiday stress.; March 30, 2009 at 3:20 PM
Brenda said...: How fun and a great idea. Lovely family you have. Piper is such a cutie as well as your other grandchild.
So what do the initials stand for?; March 30, 2009 at 3:22 PM
Kristin - The Goat said...: Of course I ran to my calendar to find all of the 5 Sunday Months -- so your Dad is hosting dinner in May and November...I wish I could say to set an extra place for me - your family looks like a lot of fun.; March 30, 2009 at 3:25 PM
Keetha Broyles said...: Debbie - - - the reason the baldness comes through the MOTHER is because that particular gene is located on the "X" chromosome, on the leg that there isn't a matching gene on the "Y", so all a male needs to get is ONE gene on the ONE "X" from his mama and he's bald.

Groovy - - - Shhhhhhh, I don't think Debbie knows about the all caps being yelling thing - - - she posts all her blogs that way too. Fifth Fridays would be nice, but we do Sundays ;-)

Brenda - - G is Gregory and J is Johnathan.

Kirby, I'm sure you'd be MORE than welcome at ANY of our dinners!; March 30, 2009 at 4:17 PM

JudyBug said...: What a neat idea. We have a 5th Sunday Singing at church and local churches get together. I love your dad's idea. What a wonderful family!

I did go sit in my car outside of the library just to check mail and get a quick puter fix! I'm back!
JudyBug; March 31, 2009 at 6:50 PM
Keetha Broyles said...: JudyBug, I KNOW you are glad to get your computer up and running again!!! Whew - - - no more quick trips to McD's parking lot or the library or wherever just to get that cyber fix!!!!; March 31, 2009 at 7:02 PM
Leigh of Tales from Bloggeritaville said...: Oh, no!~ I dont see my comment, maybe I posted it below...going to check. I winder if it didnt post?; April 2, 2009 at 9:38 PM
