The Eclectic Company: Sunday Rerun - Ole and Sven, The Sequel

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 get sooooo excited about our bloggy Sunday reruns!!! Thanks so much to Chari over at Happy to Design for hosting Sunday Favorites.

Today I am running the sequel to last week's Ole and Sven fishing escapade. In case you hadn't figured it out, I call my hubby Ole and his best fishing buddy Sven because they are EXACTLY like the Norwegian characters in the jokes you can read about here.

There is one major difference. The Ole and Sven in the jokes are fictional - - - my Ole and Sven are very real and they actually DO these things, which I think makes them even funnier than the fictional characters.

And now without any further ado, I give you this week's rerun:

Ole and Sven, The Sequel
(First posted 12/10/06)

Ole and Sven swore it was "balmy" on their weekend fishing trip, that they were 'sweating' in the sun. Judge for yourself - - - -

The boat cutting through the ice at Lake Webster with Sven (in scary ski mask) at the helm.

What do you think???? Does it look "balmy" to you????
