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

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

Awwww...loved this post, my friend! Of course, I think you know that I just adore your little guy!!! You know, I know just how little Mac feels! I'm much older and I still wonder what all the fuss is about when it comes to just...sitting...and waiting...and sitting some more...to fish! hehe! When I go with honey fishing, I take a good book! Hehe!

Well Darlin', how are you doing? Was reading one of the comments above...are you making another trip back to Wisconsin? I do hope that all is well, sweet friend! So happy to see you today for Sunday Favorites...thanks for sharing this cute post with us!!!

Love ya,
Chari @Happy To Design

PS...there's nothing like getting to spend time with the grands! My youngest daughter Jenni and my five grandkids will be here next week. We are planning a camping trip to to the mountains...I'm sooo excited to get to go camping with my kiddos!!!; August 1, 2010 at 1:54 PM
Cherry Chick said...: ;-) I don't know about "witty banter" but he sure is a cutie pie. Hopefully, one day McKinley will enjoy the "sport" of fishing...yawn..lol.

Ann in the UP said...: Mack is learning early that "fishing" doesn't always have much to do with "catching". My son says it's all about sitting somewhere quiet, leaving your electronics in the truck, having a good fight if you hook one, and returning it to the lake for next time.

Go figure. My grandkids all love to fish. Must have skipped a couple generations.

Plus your two fisher-guys will have that fishing bond, because FH took the time to do it with McKinley. Time---a wonderful gift!; August 1, 2010 at 4:17 PM
Kristin - The Goat said...: Fishing sure skipped my particular generation. My great grandmother fished with my Dad, but I think that's where it ended. Once my Great grandmother died I don't think my Dad ever picked up a fishing pole again.

It is heartwarming to see little ones with their grandparents :); August 1, 2010 at 8:00 PM
