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

Sunday Reruns - Bikers

Thanks so much to Chari over at Happy to Design for hosting Sunday Favorites.

Not Your Ordinary Trike
(First posted on 6/25/07)

Go figure - - - - Kelly has a trike!!! It's reminiscent of a big wheel and he found it in his neighbor's trash. All it needed was a little air in the front tire and voila - - -

Greg decides to give it a try. "Watch me, Macky, I'll show you how it's done!"

Kelly cheers dad on

The old man's still got "it."

"Hey - - - let ME try this thing too!"

"Now if I could only make it go - - - "

Hey I love your snowy park scene header with the bright red slide with red brick (?) in the background. Looks like something from a magazine cover.; December 27, 2009 at 3:20 AM
Maggie said...: Boys & their toys! I bet they all had a lot of fun together with that trike.

dana said...: I LOVE eyeballing the "castoffs" of others...I nailed a Barbie Van for my daughter that way! It was perched atop someone's trash can, waiting for the trash man to come and put it in a land fill. When I spied it, I pulled into the driveway of the home and knocked on the door. There was no answer, so I quickly removed the Barbie Van from the trash can and placed it in the back of my car. My daughter played with it for many years. When she had outgrown the joys that it had once given her, I decided to see what would happen if I put it out on top of our trash can one day. I did just that and took a position in the living room window to see what would happen. Within MINUTES a car came to a stop in front of our house and a young man got out. He snagged that little Barbie Van right off the can and put it in his trunk. I hope it continued to give hours of fun to some lucky little girl.

Merry belated Christmas, Keetha! I loved your Christmas Card, and I loved seeing your ornament creations. I also made them from salt dough...it must've been a craze sweeping the nation! It warmed my heart to see your vintage reddish/pinkish ornaments...I shared mine on a post a few weeks ago, too.

We were in the grip of a big old blizzard...started on Christmas Eve and we're still getting flurries. It certainly slowed us down, but it didn't keep us from getting to our festivities on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. It was the icing on the major highways that caused the most problems for travelers. We ended up just getting off the highway and taking side streets to get across town to our son's house.

Have a great New Year's and enjoy those football games!
