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

Northwoods Lake Vacation Fragments Extraordinaire

.
We are one week into our Northwoods Lake Vacation. If you check into this blog on a regular basis, you know that pretty much all I've been posting all week ARE fragments.

For that reason, THIS ONE TIME ONLY (unless I decide to do it again next week to finish off the vacation frags) I'm linking my entire blog as my Friday Fragment installment.

Should you care to see little fragments about a fox peering in the door, a mouse lapping the cabin (we think getting in condition for the Birkie next February), or more of Fisherhubby's infamous pranks - - - of which I am ALWAYS the butt - - - then just scroll on down and enjoy.

TTFN

Now please hurry over to Mrs 4444's place
and see all the Friday Fragments!

Ann H said...: Sounds like you are a having a relaxing vacation aide from adventures with Mickey. When we get the occasional mouse come in with our firewood I've had no luck with peanut butter at all--Velveeta cheese works every time. And I get to indulge myself with a grilled Velveeta sandwich. No one else in our family will touch the stuff.; July 13, 2012 at 1:40 PM
Kranky Granny said...: Well Keetha, I have read all the way down your blog to the start of your vacation. Have to admit you gave me a few chuckles along the way. Love the tally sheets. Sounds as if you are having a great vacation.

From the photos we would certainly enjoy visiting this spot but perhaps that is where you and I would part company.

While I love doing puzzles I have to admit they would be the last thing I would think to pack and If I did they would not get taken out of the box if I had a good Wi-Fi connection. Give me all the uninterrupted PC time possible. I'm always behind on visiting my favorites in blogland.

I wrote in my "100 things about me" listing on a post years ago that "Mice have me jumping on tables." and that is still true. I would have been checking out and finding a Micky free cabin after the first sighting.; July 13, 2012 at 5:39 PM
Claudya Martinez said...: You guys are fun and I hope you keep having fun.; July 13, 2012 at 7:25 PM
Unknown said...: I love the tally list. Sounds fun, except for the mice and the fox.; July 13, 2012 at 7:30 PM
Ellen aka Ellie said...: You are a good sport, I'm not a fan of pranks!; July 13, 2012 at 9:57 PM
Traci Marie Wolf said...: Wow! That's a lot of fish that fisher hubby caught. And too many mouse sightings. It's been great to read all your vacation fragments.; July 14, 2012 at 1:18 AM
42N said...: What no deer fly or mosquito counts?; July 14, 2012 at 7:59 AM
nancygrayce said...: Do you even have mosquitos there? I mean here in the muggy south we have loads, but does it get too cold there for them to multiply?

Looks to me like a fun, relaxing vaca!; July 14, 2012 at 9:35 AM
