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

It's a Snow Globe World

Homes draped in their holiday finest.

Then a giant hand - - -

Took a firm grasp on their snow globe world

And shook and shook

Until everything was covered in white.

I believe a little more shakin'
Is called for tomorrow.

No need to dream of a white Christmas 'round here.

We've already GOT one!

Merry Christmas!!!

Kristin - The Goat said...: Shake Shake Shake!!

I'm getting excited about coming to the winter wonderland of Michigan in a few days.

The last house, with the perfectly cleared off steps leading to the front door. Those people are folks after my own heart. My goal always was to get all the steps perfectly clear.

Laura @ the shorehouse. said...: These houses look SO gorgeous!

I was dreaming of a white Christmas. Then on December 26 we got three feet (!!) of snow in NJ (!!!) and didn't get plowed out for four days.

You know that saying be careful what you wish for?

Yup.
