Christmas is a bridge. We need bridges as the river of time flows past. Today's Christmas should mean creating happy hours for tomorrow and reliving those of yesterday.
Gladys Taber
A good recipe for a human reducing breakfast is a lot of good things to eat, and three spaniels and two cats to eat with.
Gladys Taber
Long cold nights mark November's return, grey rains fall, wind walks in the bronze oak leaves.
