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

Goin' to the Fair

.
Last night Kamma and Papoo came over to take me to Street Fair.

First I had to put on my walkin' shoes.

Look Papoo!!! I wanna ride THAT!

Don't forget about me!!! I wanna go to the fair too!

Checkin' out food row.

Papoo got a shish-ka-bob, mommy got some fried veggies. What did Haley and I get???? NADA!

After hours and hours of WAITING while adults talked, I FINALLY got my ride on the horsie that goes up and down. They even FORGOT to get me my own corn dog and I had to eat their left-overs. How abused can a guy get?

Hey, what are YOU complaining about, brother??? I didn't get fed a single thing and all they let me do was WATCH you ride!!!

At last - - - on the way home - - - they bought me cotton candy. But LOOK, Papoo's got more.

Keetha Broyles said...: LOL Carmen!!! I will tell ya this, I do love REAL food better than sweet stuff, but as I waited near the carousel for our little group to get back together, I debated going over to get an elephant ear, but by that time I was really full of a little combo of steak tips, onions, potatoes, and mushrooms. That was YUMMY.; September 20, 2008 at 12:43 PM
