Andirons Need A Fireplace

It's that time of year.....

when nothing is better than family, a Christmas tree and a roaring fire.

If you are looking to dress up your fireplace -

I ran into these and thought they were fabulous.

I have placed them in order of the 1st being my favorite 

and so on

and so on.

For all you Maniacs up in Maine....

this one is for you. 

Do you have a favorite?

Christopher Hitchens, 1949-2011

David Frum: Christopher Hitchens, 1949-2011

A friend of theirs once took Christopher Hitchens and his wife

Carol Blue to dinner at Palm Beach's 

Everglades Club, notorious for its exclusion of Jews.

"You will behave, won't you?" Carol anxiously asked 

Christopher on the way into the club. No dice.

When the headwaiter approached, Christopher demanded: 

"Do you have a kosher menu?"

Christopher was never a man to back away from a confrontation on behalf of

what he considered basic decency. Yet it would be wrong to remember only the confrontational side. 

Christopher was also a man of exquisite sensitivity

and courtesy, dispensed without regard to

age or station.

You must do the thing which you think you cannot do

You gain strength, courage, and confidence

by every experience

in which you stop to look fear in the face.

YOU MUST DO THE THING WHICH YOU THINK YOU CANNOT DO.

Eleanor Roosevelt

I hope you are having a great day!!

What Do You Say To This?

This is on the corner of my neighborhood.
I pass it everyday.
Men and woman with heart wrenching signs....
"I have lost my home & my job.....no money, and no food to give to my children.
Please.
Anything will help"

This is a sad sign.

Just say 'NO TO PANHANDLERS'

No Way 

do they like beggars in Boca Raton.

There are people living in the hedges 

on the fringes of beautifully manicured private neighborhoods

Do you have these signs where you live?
