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

Second Annual Miss Kristin Day

.

For the second October in a row, Kristin of "The Goat" stopped in our little old town for a visit. She was wending her way from Jacksonville, Florida to Lansing, Michigan.

We lunched at my FAVORITE Mexican restaurant, La Charreada. Then we came back to my house for some good visitin' time.

Brunhilda and Borris "yucked" it up with her something fierce. BUT, if you want to hear about that, you'll have to head on over to THEIR BLOG to read all about it.

Kristin, it is always sooooo fun to "meet and greet" with you!

What will we do NEXT year when Wisconsin isn't on your way????
