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

Drivin' Along in My Automobile - - -

.
Time to go to ACSI Teacher's Convention in South Bend. Normally we take several school vans. This time the administrator asked me to drive and take a car full of "girls."

Glad to oblige.

Someone got my camera and documented our trip - - -

Driver - - -

As seen from the photographer's perspective.

Vickie - - - trying to keep the driver awake.

Diane - - - navigating. Too bad it was a Wisconsin map.

Jenny - - - being the life of the party.

And then a bit later

What would YOU do if you were in a lane NEXT to a school bus when it's "stop" sign went out?

Oh HERE she is - - - Shelli - - - photographer extraordinaire!!
