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

He Who Knocks - - -

.
More hail today.

It was small this time, and we don't think it did any further damage - - - - but still!!

When it rains, it HAILS!!!

Sister Pam sent me what I thought was a FABULOUS idea. She said I could put a sign on my door, for the storm chasers, that says: "He who knocks, packs a box!"

I didn't make that sign - - - but the NEXT time my doorbell rang and it was a chaser, I smiled and said, "We're moving, so he who knocks packs a box!!"

Oh, you should have SEEN the look on his face.

Alas, he did NOT pack a box.

Kranky Granny said...: I have gotten very far behind on my blog reading and I am catching up today.

I just spent a very pleasant quarter hour reading your blog and several post had me chuckling. One had me almost rolling on floor with laughter.

Having moved three times in the last four years I can sympathize with your current situation. And, to have such hail damage in October, Wow!

Wishing you the best of luck in the move. Shame that those ABF boys don't come and load that trailer for you. But, then your stuff is in better hands with you doing it yourself.; October 24, 2010 at 3:56 PM

After you get moved in give me a call so I can be your Welcome Wagon Lady!

Angie said...: I've never heard the term 'storm chasers' over here but 'ambulance chasers' as a euphemism for no-win-no-fee lawyers is coming very common. Did we get that from USA?; October 25, 2010 at 7:58 AM
