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

Jumpin' Jehosaphat! It's Got FINS

.
Fisherhubby brought home something new. Something "finny."

Meet Freddie Finzsaltandpepper.

Move over, Brunhilda and Borris, you gotta share your space.

I was a little concerned that the fur might fly - - -
You know, Hildy can be a bit temperamental.
But so far, there's bear-ly been a ripple on the pond.

And as for me?
I think I'm beginning a NEW collection - - -
Salt and Peppers!

Connie N. said...: I love different salt and pepper shakers. My grandma collected them...wherever she traveled to she collected salt and pepper shakers. When she passed away, all the grandchildren and great grandchildren received salt and pepper shakers. We used to love to have her sit and tell us where they were all from.; November 3, 2009 at 7:02 PM
Anonymous said...: OOOOOOOOooooo, I LOVE those!!! They would be a hit in my house!; November 3, 2009 at 7:17 PM
Tonja said...: My niece collects s&p shakers, and it is always fun to look for them for her. Just think...people all over this bloggy world could soon be on the look-out for the cutest s&p sets. HEY! Why don't you have a contest to see who can send you the cutest set? Great idea, huh? HEY...they could all send you sets that tell you something about where they are from...or what they do. And, you could build a whole new cabinet to hold them all. Or you could take pictures and let us all vote on the best ones sent in....

You just think about all these ideas and get back to us...

Why, no. Why do you ask? The only thing I've had is Diet Dr. Pepper!!!!; November 3, 2009 at 10:00 PM

Holly said...: Ooh. Watch out -- the shaker collections are addicting! ;); November 4, 2009 at 3:04 PM
Kristin - The Goat said...: My dad, who rarely shopped for Christmas gifts, got on a kick and started buying a new S/P set each Christmas for us kids for a few years in a row. I loved them. S/P shakers can multiply like rabbits, so if you want to start the collection, be warned that there are a million really great ones out there! Brunhilda and Boris BearSaltandPepper may really get jealous!; November 4, 2009 at 4:03 PM
Tricia said...: Hi Keetha.
I just wanted to stop in and say hello. The fishies are too funny. Isn't it sweet when a couples' tastes can mesh so well? ;)

XO*Tricia

P.S. I am having an Inspire My Saturday party this weekend 11/7. I would love it if you were able to join me. Just blog about something that inspires you and link up. Anywho, hope to see you there.

Have a great week.
