Quotes of Note

"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

Cindy (Applestone Cottage) said...: Happy Birthday Pam!
Enjoy your day!
Now Keetha, your kind of a naughty big sister calling her not young anymore. Look how good she looks!
Hugs,

Lynn said...: Happy birthday to your "perfect" sister!
I am just going to have to visit Wisconsin someday. Nekoosa, huh?

Well in Oklahoma there is Wetumka. Bowlegs. Other funny town names. But NO ART on the buildings. I am now sing "Sugar Shack." I visited several entries! My toe is already better. Antibiotics. Great discovery.; March 22, 2011 at 4:37 PM
Pam said...: Thanks, Sis, for the birthday post. We went exploring south central FL today. Joe was thrilled to meet a couple of yellow rat snakes along the Corkscrew Swamp boardwalk; we also saw a Mama gator with Jr on its back frolicking out in the marsh. It's been a lovely day!; March 22, 2011 at 5:58 PM
Misti said...: PAM Aka MOM: You forgot to add that you got a card with a picture from your granddaughter AND a text with a picture from your daughter today! =P; March 22, 2011 at 6:10 PM
Designs on 47th Street said...: I can just tell that you two have a lot of fun together. :) Happy Birthday to Pam!

Mildred said...: HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAM! LOVE THE PICTURES!; March 23, 2011 at 12:44 AM
Anna said...: Sister Pam looks YOUNG! And fun!
happy Birthday, Pam!; March 23, 2011 at 6:12 PM
jennifer said...: Did Sister Pam realize that she was holding a Gator? Just checking.

My girls are 15 months apart too. It was perfect for us and they are best friends.

Happy belated Birthday Pam!; March 23, 2011 at 10:52 PM
Ann in the UP said...: I think you were both pretty lucky to get to look at such nice faces---both in the mirror---and when you saw each other.
Belated happy birthday to Pam. And I know you were a great older sister, Keetha.; March 24, 2011 at 8:28 AM
Tonja said...: Keetha. Did you notice she was holding a gator? An alligator. Round these parts, they are not the 'huggable' type of pet. We generally like to keep our people and our vicious, monster, anything-eaters on opposite sides of the fence. This is just a little distressing to me. I just feel certain there is a story that goes with this...please, I would love to hear it. I'm sure it will make me feel better about your sister and the possibility of her reaching another birthday!; March 24, 2011 at 8:18 PM
Nancy said...: This is 1 week late, but Happy Birthday Pam, and yes, many more! Just to make sure you have many more, you may think twice about cuddling those gators or other "varmits" ... no telling what hide in those Florida swamps and bushes.; March 29, 2011 at 7:08 PM
