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

"The truth about a man is in what he does, not what he says." - W. Dale Cramer in "Levi's Will"

What Would YOU Give (Up) for a Klondike Gal???

Evidently B-I-L Joe is willing to give up his warm Florida sunshine to travel all the way to Sitka, Alaska to visit THIS particular little Klondike Gal - - - his granddaughter, Carson.

Man, he must love her lots - - - we can't even get him to commit to a trip to Wisconsin in mid summer - - - he's afraid it will be cold and he'd have to brave s _ _ _ even in July or August.

What he doesn't know is, it wouldn't be s _ _ _ he'd have to brave in the warm months, it'd be MOSQUITOES, one of our "state birds."

Oh well - - - she is such a little cutie, I'm sure she's worth the sacrifice of surf and sun.
