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

Here I Sit - - -

Bloggin' at the Library

Only in this picture I was on vacation in the Hayward Library and now I'm home in our own city library.

Why, you might ask??

Simple - - - our home internet has died and I'm too addicted to blogging to give it up even temporarily. So, here I sit. Thank goodness I have lappy!!!

However, even with two trips/day to the library, I may NOT be able to keep up with each and every one of your new posts - - - - but I'll give it the good old college try!!!

KBeau said...: Wow. You're certainly dedicated. I've been out of the loop for almost two weeks helping my son and family move from Annapolis to Savannah. Then yesterday, I met them in Atlanta to pick up my daughter-in-law and the two grands. This is my first blog reading in a while.; June 25, 2009 at 9:37 PM
Julie said...: Keetha I know exactly how you feel-and I thought we were the only ones with internet problems!

I was actually contemplating going to the lib. last week when our internet died, but never did, because a, I couldn't figure out how I would control 3 kids while blogging and b, in the evenings I knew I'd never be able to sneak away without the kids finding out and wanting to go along!

So glad we finally have internet-I'm assuming you do too?; June 27, 2009 at 9:31 AM
Anonymous said...: Oh dear, I've done exactly the same. What would we do without libraries?

Funny, I used to look at all the teens in there on computers and wonder why on earth it was so imperative to be online. Heh.; June 29, 2009 at 8:25 AM
