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 Hayward, Northwoods Vacation Destination

This is Main Street USA.

This is downtown in the Northwoods Vacation Village of our choice.

Hayward, Wisconsin, USA

I think of it as the Northwoods Gatlinburg.

Northwoods "log cabin" is a la mode.

Quaint and ornamented balconies shade the walks.

Beautiful old buildings
Find new life as shoppes.

Gorgeous floral hanging baskets
And shaded outdoor seating abound.

Gourmet patio dining is available for the hungry.

Where else could one find giant fishing lures?

All this and America's Dairyland, natural lakes, and plentiful wildlife at your very own door.

(Sometimes the wildlife is even inside your very own door.)

Joining Unknown Mami
For Sundays in my City.

My city today is Hayward, Wisconsin
