[Julia A Knaake]

It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best,

since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them.

Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car

only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance

of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.     . ~ Ernest Hemingway

[Larry Scott Draper]

That's right, reach out to whomsoever......the mind has no limits.  The body, however, does.  

[Julia A Knaake]

"As long as I am able,
 I will be out there,
 focusing my energy on
one more
 adventure,
one more
 mountain,
 one more
dream...............Laura Evans

[Zochitl]

Laura felt a warmth inside her. It was very small, but it was strong. It was steady, like a tiny light in the dark, and it burned very low but no winds could make it flicker because it would not give up.

Laura Ingalls Wilder

February 7, 1867: Generations of suburban schoolchildren learned how to churn butter (at least in theory!) thanks to author and pioneer woman Laura Ingalls Wilder. She was born 146 years ago today.

[Zochitl]

“ Half of the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important...they do not mean to do harm...they are absorbed in their endless struggle to think well of themselves. ”

— T.S. Eliot
