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

I GET TO SHOVEL!!!!

.

Finally!!

No really - - - I LOVE to shovel.

I LOVE winter.

I LOVE snow!!!

And so far this winter has been nearly devoid of snow - - - we "ain't" the frozen tundra THIS year.

In fact, my header picture is a LIE. We "ain't" had that much snow this year. I had to resurrect that picture from LAST winter.

But today??? Well, today we are getting a mere dusting.

But it is SOMETHING.

And I am excited!!!

Excuse me now - - - I've gotta go put on my boots and grab my shovel!!!

I can blog on all those sunny 50ish degree days - - -
