“The skies can’t keep their secret”

Some of my favorites from our recent vacation.

Get ready for the infamous “vacation photos”.

Everyone wants to look at my vacation pictures, right?

Sure.

Just pretend you do.

Or I will bust out the scrapbooks.

I actually made my now husband look at ALL of my scrapbooks on our first date.

It is how I knew he was a keeper.

He did not run away screaming.

South Carolina

There is a blog post about what we were doing in South Carolina on my other blog, here.

Indiana

Wisconsin

If you look close you can see deer running across the field.

I did not see them until I was editing.

I need to start wearing my glasses…

Minnesota

Why can’t I just vacation forever?

Food and clothing is overrated.

Words of wisdom

“Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property… Horrid mischief would ensue were the law-abiding deprived of the use of them.”  Thomas Paine

“The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government – lest it come to dominate our lives and interests.” Patrick Henry

It is natural for man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts… For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth, to know the worst, and to provide for it.” Patrick Henry

“I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!” Patrick Henry
