More Great Thoughts

I'm not fat. I've just reached Maximum Density!!

A facelift?? No thank you. I don't want people to look at my face and see a blank road. I want them to know that I've traveled many roads, and some of them haven't been paved.

Come said the wind to the leaves one day, Come o're the meadows and we will play.
Put on your dresses scarlet and gold, For summer is gone and the days grow cold.

Pumpkins in the cornfields, Gold among the brown, Leaves of rust and scarlet, Trembling slowly down.

Birds that travel southward, Lovely time to play, Nothing is as pleasant, As an autumn day!

I believe that it doesn't take a village to raise a child, it takes two parents....

I just blew you some kisses and they should arrive soon!!

May your joys be as deep as the ocean and your sorrows as light as its foam!

The truth hurts---especially on the bathroom scales.

I'll never forget my grandparents saying..."If I'd known grandchildren were going to be so much fun, I'd have had them first."

Grandpa's are for stories about things of long ago. Grandma's are for caring about all the things you know... Grandma's are for rocking you and singing you to sleep, Grandpa's are for giving you nice memories to keep... Grandma's are for knowing all the things you're dreaming of... But, most importantly of all, Grandparents are for love.

Once upon a time in their marriage, my Dad did something really stupid. My Mom chewed him out for it. He apologized, they made up. However, from time to time, my mom mentions what he had done. "Honey," my Dad finally said one day, "why do you keep bringing that up? I thought your policy was 'forgive and forget." "It is," she said. "I just don't want you to forget what I've forgiven and forgotten!"
