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 - Memoir

It's Sunday again, and you know what THAT means!?! It's time for Sunday reruns!!! Thanks so much to Chari over at Happy to Design for hosting this meme, "Sunday Favorites".

My Six Word Memoir
(First posted 2/07/08)

"Gave everyone a laugh, including myself"

Don't think I'll explain that - - - let you ruminate on it a while for yourself.

Might be interesting to see if those who know me "live and in person" think the same thing as those who only know me in blog.

What would be your six-word memoir for yourself?

(Where'd I get this idea? Heard it on the "grape vine," [NPR] of course!)

Thanks so much for your sweet comments about my kitchen remodel. You asked about the sink in the island. Yes, I love it there. I've had it in the island in my last two houses and can't imagine it being anywhere else now. Hugs, Marty; June 5, 2010 at 11:02 PM

Chari at Happy To Design said...: Hi Girlfriend...

Ohhh...you are always such a hoot! God love ya!!! I totally get your "six word memoir"! Now, I know that I've never met you in person, however getting to know you here...via blogging...I'd say that this was a pretty good description of you, Girlfriend! Okay...you must tell me what you have over your eye in the last photo...I couldn't tell! Bad eyes here. And...don't think that you're going to get away without giving us an explanation of that last photo! Hehe! Love your animal print!!!

Thanks so much for joining in with Sunday Favorites again this week, Darlin'! You always make me smile!

Love ya,
