Two Stoney Acres: Jacob and the Gram Weaver Cart

Fav Quote

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts, too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.

Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin. ~anonymous

Jacob and the Gram Weaver Cart

My beloved grandmother, Mildred Weaver, had a little cart that she used to haul things around with . . . She would fasten the garbage can on it to make it easier to set out on trash day. When she died 8 years ago, Jacob wanted this little cart. He's always loved anything with wheels. Back then, he'd fasten it behind his Rolling Delight wagon and drag this contraption all over the yard with any assortment of toys and yard stuff that he could compile. Gradually, he grew out of this to my disappointment . . . Today while helping to get the back yard ready for Summer, I saw him with the cart tied fast to the back of his Rolling Delight wagon. I just had to get a picture for old times sake.

Treasure the moments that you have while your children are little . . . Time passes much too quickly and all too soon they will be nearly grown up.

Motivation

Don't think of retiring from the world until the world will be sorry that you retire. I hate a fellow whom pride or cowardice or laziness drives into a corner, who does nothing when he is there but sit and growl. Let him come out as I do, and bark.
Samuel Johnson (1709 - 1784)

Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900)

In the end, we decide if we're remembered for what happened to us or for what we did with it.
Randy K. Milholland

Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work. You don't give up.
Anne Lamont

Inspiration

I was always looking outside myself for strength and confidence, but it comes from within. It is there all the time. ~ Anna Freud (1895 - 1982)

A man who as a physical being is always turned toward the outside, thinking that his happiness lies outside him, finally turns inward and discovers that the source is within him. ~ Soren Kierkegaard

Advice to young women from Nancy and Ann Wilson, of the rock group Heart (as printed in the 09/19/10 Parade magazine):
Nancy: There's a great deal of pressure on young women to portray a hyper-sexualized image.
Ann: And I think they get told that if they do that they're going to be successful. When, in actuality, if they look like pole dancers, all they do is make themselves more disposable. So be true to yourself.
