Great quote right there.<br />I have a book that tells Chickie about her growing up, from babyhood on, favorite memories as they happened, a couple of pictures she drew in it, her pre school foot prints.....and her quotes!<br />Still documenting the quotes, but the great thing is that it is HER book, not for general perusing, except by the author - me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-53081374655075547272012-05-06T15:16:51.958-04:002012-05-06T15:16:51.958-04:00I had a lot of catching up to do on reading your &...I had a lot of catching up to do on reading your 'words of wisdom'.... I've missed you. I'm hoping I can sit down at the computer long enough to read and comment.<br /><br />I love quotes!!!

I have a journal my daughter in law gave me that I like to collect quotes in, lines from great books or movies, etc.<br /><br />I have two favorite quote books:<br /><br />The Cyclopedia of Practical Quotations By J. K. Hoyt, it has English, Latin and Modern (if you consider 1896 modern) Foreign Languages with names, dates, and nationality of quoted authors, with copious indexes. The topical index has cross references and it is a big thick book you can take a life time to read.<br /><br />The other is Roses Everyday by Margaret Moore Jacobs. She was (is?) a native of my home state and woman of deep faith who wrote of her observations of nature in her garden and how what she observed were lessons for her life of faith.<br /><br />Thank you so very much for the link to my art book. You were a huge help and encouragement to me in getting it done!<br /><br />Have a beauty filled day!Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16262542152196076333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-6399977965605311512012-05-05T22:26:59.922-04:002012-05-05T22:26:59.922-04:00I do love quotes.

We have recently laughed about a Winnie-the-Pooh quote that she came across...<br /><i>"If the person you are talking to doesn't appear to be listening, be patient. It may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear."</i> It sort of reminds us of a person (who shall remain nameless) who lives in our house.<br /><br />Bekah has supplied us with quite a few quotes over the years. Just yesterday we were cleaning out the medicine cabinet and came across some colonoscopy prep meds including stool softener. <i>"Stool</i> softener?, she says incredulously. "Why don't you just get a pillow?"<br />The girl cracks me up!Cheryl https://www.blogger.com/profile/00063844335185525553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-71132359085296856952012-05-05T21:41:43.668-04:002012-05-05T21:41:43.668-04:00What riches there must be in those journals.
