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

Westby, Who Are You???

(photo from conceptcaching.com)
You have been visiting my blog
from Westby, Wisconsin.
According to my site meter,
You have visited regularly and frequently.

This makes me wonder who you are.
I would so like to hear from you
In my comments or via e-mail
Because - - -

(photo from explorewisconsin.com)
I have deep roots
In Vernon County, Wisconsin.
My mother's family hales from there.
My beloved Burr Camp was there.
Aunts, Uncles, cousins grew up
And farmed the hills there.
I had childhood sword fights there.
Wildcat Mountain State Park is there.
My mother and grandparents are buried there.

So please, Mr. or Ms. Westby
Let me know who you are!!!

Anne said...: I hope they 'fess up, too. But I wonder how all this works. I often see that I'm tracked on other people's blogs with some little sidebar thing that tells where I came from, and they don't even have the right state! But the curious thing is that they have the town in another state where my uncle lived and is buried. So how does that happen? And it always gives that incorrect city and address when it tracks me.... My server must route through there or something, though that makes no sense since it is a little town....

Will be curious to see if they come forward. It would be cool to connect!; May 16, 2009 at 6:24 PM
