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

Thrifty Vintage Thingies - I Feel Like Travelin' On - - -

I'm linking today with Vintage Thingie Thursday at Coloradolady and Thrifty Thursday at Bloggeritaville.

Be sure you click on both of the above links to check out what everyone else is posting.

Oh girls, just LOOKY what I found in the baggage area of the Indy airport:

Aren't these just the key-utest things you've ever seen made from vintage luggage???

And I want you to know that I braved the scorn of my students - - -

Just to stop and get photos of them for Thrifty Vintage Thingies. What do students know anyway - - - they're only KIDS for Pete's sake, what can they know of the IMPORTANCE of blogging?????

And I truly do HATE to admit to you that I did NOT have time to stop and check out how they were held together.

I found it interesting that there were no signs saying "keep off," so I can ONLY assume they are safe to sit upon.

Have a great Thursday!!!!
