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

Precious Gems Vs Bling

.

All that glitters is not gold.

We've heard that all our lives. Well, some of the BEST stuff neither glitters NOR is gold. It is priceless.

Meet priceless - - - times three. I can see their lips forming the word "cheese" can you? These are my precious gems. Kaeleigh, Piper Renae, and Mackinley.

Then there is bling - - - which is of course, neither priceless nor precious, it just glitters. Ah, but it IS fun.

I found two new pieces of jewelry, from the Crono line. I talked about Crono here.

Of course I wasn't happy with just ONE new bracelet - - -

I had to get two

Jenny got two first - - - - I guess she made me do it.

At least that's my story and I'm stickin' to it!
