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

It's Terrible Being An - - -

It means my life is a BORING rat race.

Nothing new.

Nothing blog worthy.

I'm afraid I'll lose my bloggy friends
Because no one wants to come here for
A whole lot of nuthin!!!

So, in an attempt to keep you coming

And as a celebration of all things fall - - -

I'm reposting last year's pumpkin patch pictures.

Has-beens all.

No, not my dad and kids.
They aren't has-beens.
The pumpkins are the has-beens - - -
As in "has-beens" seen here before.

And until I've got something else - - -

HAPPY FALL!!

I wonder if the owner of that car got the OldPoop plate as a gift? It isn't yours is it?
When I am dry I try to read a new blog or two. Something they say usually reminds me of something in my own life that no one really cares about but I write about it anyways.
C'mon, you can do it.; October 27, 2009 at 10:09 PM

Kristin - The Goat said...: I've been taking notes on my days, since I arrived in Michigan because I've got so much going on. I have been barely able to keep up with the thrills and spills we've been going through :) So it's nice to see that I'm one of the few folks that is crazy at the moment.

I love the reruns that you post because chances are real good that I haven't seen them before.

Come over to my place and if you win my giveaway you can post about that!

Oh, I almost forgot, I thought I saw your cute little bears at the costume shop the other day? What did they choose?

So, did you get any pictures in that witch cut out (I see it in the back of pumpkin picture # 2) ? Now seeing your face in that would be a mighty fine post!!! :)

THE STONE RABBIT says to tell you he likes horses! :)

Have a happy and safe Halloween! Dana; October 29, 2009 at 10:45 PM
