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

What Did You Expect???

.

You didn't think Fisherhubby and I could return to Marion last weekend and NOT go to our favorite Mexican restaurant, did you???

We aim to please and in fact we went TWICE!

Saturday night we met our friends Charlie and Vangie

And Mark and Jennie there.

It was as yummy as usual and our La Charreada waiter friends met us at the door with HUGE welcoming grins!

Monday night we returned for more Mexican yumminess. (yes, that IS my plate next to Fisherhubby and yes I DID eat all of that!) This time Mike and Diane joined us.

Donna@Conghaile Cottage said...: "Yummy"!!! I LOVE Mexi food...We have a little "Hole in the wall" restaurant that is run by the sweetest little Mexican gal. She has it set up with the 50s chrome tables and I makes you feel like you're in her kitchen...LOVE HER!!! And we have another one down the hill from me that I fell in love with "plantains" at. I tried preparing them at home and I "HAD QUESTIONS", so I asked her AND she brought me in the kitchen, strapped an apron on me and gave me lessons...LOVE HER TOO! These two places are like HEAVEN! Thank you for sharing!
Hugs to you,
