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

Sky Watch Friday With a Twist
(First posted on 9/18/08)

(Backside of Hurricane Ike over Marion, Indiana)

Gray skies are gonna clear up,

Put on a happy face;

Brush off the clouds and cheer up,

Put on a happy face.

Pick out a pleasant outlook,
Stick out that noble chin;

Wipe off that "full of doubt" look,
Slap on a happy grin!

And spread sunshine all over the place,
Just put on a happy face!

(Lyrics by Tony Bennett)

You have the cutest grands!!! Thanks for sharing this sweet post with us for the Sunday Favorites party this past weekend!

Here I am once again...apologizing for being so late to get by! Maybe things will settle down come Autumn...hoping so! My blogging really is suffering. Well dear lady, I hope you're having a terrific week! Bet it sure feels strange to NOT be heading back to school. It took me a couple of years to get used to it...but I'm loving every minute of just staying home and not working! Yeeehawww!

Love ya,
