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

Got Butterburgers????

We do!!!!

FINALLY!!!

Just opened TODAY.

Isn't "she" cute?

People lined up to get their butterburgers.

LOTS of people.

I walked in the door and found my friend Shelli.

You remember Shelli, she's my self-appointed photo journalist.

I joined Shelli and her family.

I was happy, excited, JUBILANT
That the Marion Culver's is now OPEN!!!

And what did I eat?
A butterburger and a pot roast sandwich.

And how was my food?

Ummmm, Ummm, Ummm, Ummm, UMMMM!!!

It was soooooo good I inhaled every bite

Wiped up my little paws,

And tucked into a chocolate shake.

A FREE chocolate shake.

And what's my Culver's verdict?

GO

Don't walk,

RUN to your nearest Culver's

And enjoy the yumminess.

and I notice your dear friend Shelli anonymously posted herself a raise in salary... too funny!
