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

Sunday in Two Cities

Today in my city ice fishermen continue to apply their craft in SPITE of sunny skies and temperatures warm enough to melt, not freeze, the ice.

This little guy, Dane, is a fisherman in a bucket.

;-)

While a mere 425 miles away in her city, my little gran, Piper, sips her hot chocolate totally unaware that such a thing as ice fishing even exists.

Oh, but one day her Papoo will educate her on the subject, I'm sure!

Thanks to Unknown Mami for hosting

To which I am linking this post.
My Cities today are Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin

and Bluffton, Indiana
