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

On the Way Home From the Airport - - -

.

Friday afternoon after we picked Kyle up at the airport, we decided to drop in at Korie's house on the way home.

I knew all you "housie" people would LOVE to see it!

Living room complete with a large couch-ornament.

Looking into the dining room from the living room.

Breezeway with family room re-do. Don't you LOVE the brick-a-brack on the coffee table? So chic.

Kitchen. I SERIOUSLY love that little island with stools.

Ah Ha!!! Look what Korie had on the go - - - she MUST be related to me!

After the house tour we all had supper together at Canal Point in Broad Ripple.

Lori R. said...: Love the tour. Side job sometime, tour guide. Your commentary was great. Hopefully family members are probably used to you getting them in on the action. Glad touring son made it home in one piece. Have you gotten any stories out of him or did he say he had a good time then left the room?; August 23, 2009 at 5:53 PM

Dawn said...: It's a charming house. Love all the built ins. I would have it overflowing with knick kancks before you could say "give the dog a bone". And speaking of dogs, at least her couch ornament doesn't leave lots of fur and paw prints behind! I didn't see any Colts' memorabilia though...

mub said...: The puzzle on the table reminds me of being at my grandparents house around the holidays. We always had some big crazy hard puzzle that everyone would work on here and there until it was completed!

I'm passing along the Honest Scrap Award to you, which I am just now realizing that you already HAVE in your sidebar. I'm pretty sure that just means you're doubly amazing =)

j said...: I've missed you while you've been out of the blogging loop but you don't have to worry about me. As long as I hear from you occasionally so I know you aren't mad at me or anything I'm good :)

She has a beautiful house and I know she is thankful for it. The couch ornament was my fav though. It looks like a Designer original.
