It Just Won't Be the Same!!
Our mostest favorite Christmas ornament has died! The Grandkids loved pushing his belly and he would sing - We Wish You a Merry Christmas in "meows." Genny didn't want me to cut him open to see if the battery could be replaced so he'll still be around but without the audio enjoyment. We can't even remember where we got him from, but I'm sure he was a gift. And of course - we still have the cat head ornament from my sister to keep him company - GRIN.

Will Rogers Quotes
Nothing you can't spell will ever work.
Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.
This country has come to feel the same when Congress is in session as when the baby gets hold of a hammer.
Everything is funny as long as it is happening to Somebody Else.
Half our life is spent trying to find something to do with the time we have rushed through life trying to save.
The more you read and observe about this Politics thing, you got to admit that each party is worse than the other. The one that's out always looks the best.

Three Quotes
First, reportly by Alexander Tytler (1780):
"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.
The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:
From bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage."
Second, Benjaim Franklin:
"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic."
Third, Chuck:
"I think we're in trouble!"
