This statement is so true and what I have tried to teach my children and grand chilren as taught by my mother and grand mother. (Sadly, the role model men in my life were not that much on this thought.)

PS, I left away for your to contact me on one of my comments at my blog.

Hugs,

I always very much admired that lady and that sure is a great and wonderful comment of hers to quote. Good food for thought for many days!

Great quote. Am not sure how I got here - I was going from one place to another reading comments - don't usually hop around much. Anyway, just wanted to let you know that I enjoyed reading...even the 'drama' going on here was entertaining. :-)

well hello honey! hey why do you think that little baby is crying? do you think that guy pinched him or something? well i was just over at odat's and she MIGHT get me a new cake tasting job because she has a friend who is getting married and you all know what a good cake taster i am, right? right! and while i was there i got a little peek in her diary. now you know i am not one to carry tales, so i won't tell you what she said about what she did at work. yee doggies, that girl is a looker, isn't she? now back to that baby in your picture, what do you suppose he'll grow up to be? be! hey that's funny! i'm bee! ha ha. have you found my silver pill case yet? i'm pretty sure it's here. keep looking, will you. i was (rumaging) going through those drawers over there last night and i may have dropped it in one of those. now charlie is growling about wanting something to eat so i'd better go see about that. i wonder what you have in your refrigerator??? let me have a look, if you have some good leftovers i'll just take him a little plate if you don't mind and then i won't have to miss my nap cooking, okay? thanks honey...bee
