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

Collecting Specimens

.

I'm working on a little mini project.

It involved collecting specimens.

Yes, I used the term "specimen" on purpose - - - we had an old family joke about voting for specimens, I wonder if anybody in the family remembers that?!?

I wonder if anybody in the family even READS this here old blog.

Anyway - - - back to collecting specimens.

I asked Fisherhubby to help - - - - and true to form he made a few "touches" all his own:

Fisherhubby "Touch" 1

Fisherhubby "Touch" 2

Now I need YOUR help. Which do you like best? Specimen "A" or "B"???

Tell me in the comments.

Specimen A

Specimen B
