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

Learning Curve

.
The death of lappy has forced me OUT of my comfort zone and onto a huge learning curve.

Fisherhubby had a MacBook he was no longer using, and it came out from under the bed and is now my lappy.

Being a windows kinda gal, this is forcing me onto uncharted waters.

But I shall persevere until I conquer.

This photo has nada to do with the post, it's just here so I could "practice" adding a picture using this Mac AND to give you something to look at.

It is our son Kelly, his wife Cathy, and their son Beage.

Of course Kelly has far less hair now - - - but that'll happen.
