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

Wherein the Big Cheese Hits the Big Six O

Today the Big Cheese hit the Big Six O!!

For several weeks he's been telling me he wanted to go to the Supper Club on his BIG NIGHT for steak and lobster.

Then, when I got home from work today he said he'd rather just be a big couch cheesy potato and have me go bring it home.

So - - - he had a Delmonico, a lobster tail, a baked tater, AND a salad right here at our little ole kitchen table.

About 59 and a half years ago he looked like this, but NOT ANY MORE!!

Now he is:

The Big Fisherman

Lawn Gnome Extraordinaire

Vacuum Technologist

Indiana Jones

Bed Hog

Bathing Beauty

The Great White Hunter

Clay Matthews Wannabe

And a Darling Little Diva

Happy Birthday to the best fishing lawn gnome vacuuming Indiana Jones bed hoggin' bathin' beauty camo covered huntin' darling diva Clay Matthews wannabe I know!!!
