What is your favorite quote? PLEASE leave a comment and join the fun!

Please enjoy my favorite Quote of the day that I found over at "A Five Minute Vacation":

"............I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, to be compassionate. It is, above all, to matter, to count, to stand for something, to have made some difference that you lived at all." ~ Leo Rosten


This photo was taken at Chick and Ruth's Deli in Annapolis, MD.(And is posted on their website.)
For many years they have carried on a tradition ~ Every morning at 8:30am (9:30am on Sat and Sun) a voice comes over the speaker and EVERYONE there rises and recites the Pledge of Allegiance! It was an amazing thing to be a part of! Kudos to "Chick and Ruth's" for STANDING for something. . .for making a difference and believing in traditions!!

It's Aloha Friday ~ Have a great week-end ~ Please leave your Link (and a comment too) ~Before you head on over to "An Island Life" for more Aloha Friday!

But I want to get more involved in other things again too ~ so many opportunities out there for all of us to HELP one another!)

What Color Lights Are You?

What Color Lights Are You?

I am Gold Lights!!

"Your holidays are a time of abundance and riches. Even if you don't have a lot during the rest of the year, this is the time that you splurge a little. Your holidays traditions tend to be a bit old fashioned and dignified. You like old holiday movies, properly wrapped presents, and family recipes passed down over the years."

This is Fun ~ See what color Lights you are!
