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

Michigan City Salmon Run

.
Ole and Sven made their annual Michigan City salmon run over the last two days. Here are some images they captured - - -

The Denis Sullivan. Looks cold, doesn't it?

In harbor

And I thank God for the Lighthouse - - -

Not as picturesque, but sheds light anyway

Ole's truck sportin' his Gator pride.

Overnight accommodations

Room for two?

Day's catch

Plenty of salmon patties.

Beautiful pix of lake, sailboat & lighthouse!!!! One of my favorite songs, which is the caption for the lighthouse pic!!!!; September 6, 2008 at 10:49 AM
Keetha Broyles said...: I wondered who would know I was quoting song lyrics!!!!; September 6, 2008 at 10:51 AM
grammy said...: Neat "Gator" on the truck!!! You can take the boy out of Florida but you can't the Florida out of the boy.

Oh boy, Jim likes another one of Greg's toys, the tent for the truck. Keetha, do you think this might qualify Jim & Greg for "redneck status"??? Jim wasn't at all impressed with that gorgeous hotel you guys stayed in at Wisc.

If we come to Indiana, can you set-up the truck-tent for Jim, at the motel??? I'll take the motel, thank you very much!!!!; September 6, 2008 at 10:58 AM
Keetha Broyles said...: We didn't stay in that hotel with the party going on outside - - - we ate at a restaurant across the parking lot.

I'm working on Greg's very own redneck post - - - saving it for tomorrow when I haven't posted so much already.; September 6, 2008 at 11:12 AM
grammy said...: I was referring to hotel you & Greg stayed in (pretty staircase) on your Wisc. vacation trip.; September 6, 2008 at 11:27 AM
Keetha Broyles said...: Oh - - - well, Pam, Dad, and I stayed there for two nights on this recent trip too!!!

Love that hotel.; September 6, 2008 at 1:07 PM
grammy said...: I love it too, in fact, lots better than TRUCK TENT!!!! Ha! But I can see Jim enjoying truck tent in Marion motel lot. His site would be cleaner but he might have cat carrier with 2 cats nested inside!!!! (Dixie & Billybob); September 6, 2008 at 2:18 PM
Vickie said...: I love the fish picture; September 6, 2008 at 8:26 PM
Leigh of Tales from Bloggeritaville said...: OOOOOOOOHHHHH, am I envious! That looks like a blast!; September 8, 2008 at 11:44 PM
