Happy New Year!

Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man. ~~ Benjamin Franklin

Home is where the heart is!

My heart is forever drawn to a stretch of the central Oregon coast. Here, my heart finds peace. How I long for that stretch of shore! To live my days out in this small area would be absolute bliss, heaven on earth. Oh, to be able to call this place "home"!

Not MY home....

If we could only make our hands move as actively as our tongues, what wonders we could accomplish! Almost everyone loves to hear his own voice. It is so easy, too! Yet if we could say less and do more for each other's good, not alone would every home be happier, but communities would he enriched thereby. Instead of criticism by speech, to show someone a better way to do a thing would be of much greater value.~~John Wanamaker
