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

Coulter's Pumpkin Patch

.
Remember my Pumpkin Patch Envy?

Well I found the cure yesterday. Coulter's Pumpkin Patch in Westville, Indiana. We were traveling past on our way to Aunt Kitty's funeral, the sun was shining, it was a beautiful day - - - so we stopped and I was able to click away on my camera to my heart's content.

The giant pumpkin "hook-set"

I noticed this as we passed by this summer and HOPED it meant there would be pumpkins here in the fall.

Pumpkins, gourds, and all kinds of other things

Just look at the color!

Talk about a family photo op!
My dad - "Peepaw"
My grandson - Mackinley
And my Number One Daughter - Keri

Two of my kids with pumpkins
Whew - - - now I'm a REAL mom.

Come on, you can admit it - - -

This is the cutest little "pumpkin-sitter" you've ever seen!!!

Oh how I love this one - - -
