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

Not ALL Bad

The recent flooding of the Wisconsin River through our town has not been ALL bad. (Check back tomorrow for a more detailed post of the flooding - - - including crest water levels)

I captured this lovely "reflections in flood waters" photo on Tuesday afternoon.

kyooty said...: WE didnt' get any this year here in Freddy Beach (not the real name). Usually our River melts good and high this time of year.; April 16, 2011 at 2:00 PM
Ann in the UP said...: Yesterday we had gale winds, and today there was considerable new snow during the morning. It has all melted now. We aren't home, we're way south of home-----yet the snow persists. The Mississippi is pretty high here.; April 16, 2011 at 2:51 PM
Pam said...: I like the new header picture; also looking forward to tomorrow's posting.

Got a magnetized picture in the mail this week. Kelly looks like he's about to say something profound (ha); Cathy is as adorable as ever!; April 16, 2011 at 4:52 PM
nancygrayce said...: What a pretty picture!

There have been some really bad storms here in the south....but we only got a bit of rain last night....no bad wind or lightning. Well, at least I didn't wake up for it if it was real bad.; April 16, 2011 at 4:55 PM

Serline said...: Hmmm, very idyllic, certainly not your typical flood disaster photo... the rains have lightened in the south of Thailand, but the pictures of destruction burn in your mind. It will be months before the cleanup is done and rebuilding is started.; April 17, 2011 at 4:59 AM
