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

Musical Fragments

Fragment the Fourth

All this coming and going of new old items into my home necessitated some drastic measures!!!

MUSICAL CHAIRS, BOYS!!!

The sewing drawer cabinet pushed the little hand painted footstool over - - -

To live under the bench.

The new little skinny chest of drawers pushed the hat box stack - - -

Under the sofa table beside the little stool with the oil cans. The hat box stack pushed - - -

The wooden picture box with the glass slipper atop over next to the new sewing cabinet drawers. AND, the wooden picture box with the glass slipper atop pushed - - -

The football basket with its load of On WiscONsin napkins over to a little corner beside the pie safe.

And that, dear bloggy friends concludes THIS WEEK'S edition, er I mean FOUR PART edition of Friday Fragments!

Head on over to Mrs. 4444's place
And check out all the other Friday Fragments.

I really, really, and I mean really love that little sewing cabinet!

Very busy week, my aunt visiting from Illinois, Dan's Dad doing poorly, he got moved to a nursing home and Adi here a lot!
Hope all is well with you,

Just Nancy said...: Keetha,

I'm so glad you stopped by my blog for Friday Fragments. Otherwise, I wouldn't have found yours! It was so fun to read about your antiquing trip and I am amazed at your home. I definitely will be back!; May 12, 2012 at 8:02 AM
Lori E said...: I like fragmented posts. If we post everything all at once parts of them often get overlooked.
They can be way too long to read. Information overload.
Now back to your goodies. Love the sewing drawers. Just look at the aged patina.; May 12, 2012 at 12:12 PM
Lynn said...: It is hilarious how one new item can domino a whole passel of treasures, isn't it? I am still working on two new/old things!
I am coveting the little sewing drawers!; May 12, 2012 at 12:53 PM
