In case you all wondered where Tuesday’s quotes were, here they are at last. Today wasn’t a regular Tuesday, but it was a good day. One of the things I did was soak up Vitamin D on a long walk with my sister in law and niece. Now with the people that plan ahead and do drafts when a day comes up thats different from usual they are still prepared. Than you have the people like me … Enjoy the quotes and I hope you got to enjoy some sun today.

You should have joined the Boy Scouts, where the motto is, “Be prepared.”
I like #3 best. Churchill had a lot of failures, but his enthusiastic attitude got him through.
And #5 is something I’ve wondered about, too. That dad must have had a ton of money to take a family vacation like that. It’s no wonder he left one of his kids home alone.

Haha about the Boy Scouts. I live life on the edge. 🙂
Attitude can be so important!
Its a wonder that he didn’t leave all the kids home alone when he went to the City of Love. 😊

Anyone who can afford to take nine kids to Paris, can afford a nanny to watch them at home.

I like #3 too. If you’re full of enthusiasm and having fun, you don’t worry so much about success or failure. 🙂

I better sleep. Tomorrow morning I have to get up early and drive a team of horses down the road.

I hope you got sleep so that you can drive the horses instead of them perhaps driving you off the road! Have a safe and wonderful time!

Thanks. The horses are chomping at the bit, right now. So I’m ready to hit the road. See you later. 🙂

I think what is missing from the Churchill quote is that there must be some learning along the way or else you’re just a chronic klutz.

Making a right decision doesn’t mean you will be happy. When the metal doors clanged shut as I said goodbye to my child in an Eating Disorder rehab, it was one of the saddest, worst days of my life! BUT it was the right decision, for that is why they are healthy and alive today!

#9 is how we’ve saved a ton of $$’s by armchair traveling from home! I mean, you seen one cathedral/museum/statue . . . you seen them all. But each wave/snowflake/flower is a mini miracle.
