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

Joe and Moe

My BIL Joe met Moe in the Minneapolis Airport.

Joe is 'mo' unhappy than Moe.

Moe doesn't MIND being in a cold climate, while Joe didn't want to leave his new warm Florida home no 'mo,' especially to be STUCK in snowy Minneapolis.

To make matters worse, Joe was headed to where it might be even 'mo' cold - - - ALASKA!

And he was NOT a happy camper no 'mo.'

Only the first birthday of this very cute little Alaskan, Joe's grand daughter Carson, could have lured him away from his sunny-shore home.

Little Miss Carson doesn't care about the weather, she's just happy with life, especially dressed up in all her Sunday go to meetin' finest!

Happy Birthday Carson Girl!
