Two Stoney Acres: New Signs for Wagon

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

New Signs for Wagon

We wanted to add our name to the wagon but weren't sure how to do it . . . We didn't necessarily want to remove the Hunterdell Farm signage. So, we had vinyl stickers made to cover up the existing signs. We were back and forth with the printer, but finally came up with this. We like it!

And, we wanted to pay tribute to Jesse's mom. She would have loved the horses! So, one night when I couldn't sleep, I wrote the statement below. Jesse really liked it, so we put it on the back of the driver's seat on the wagon. That way, everyone who rides in the wagon will get to know this great lady just a little. We miss her every day.

Whether it was a teenager who came for a weekend but stayed years or a litter of piglets kept warm in a box under the cookstove, she welcomed all God's creatures into her home and heart. She had a special fondness for horses and we know that she rides with us today.

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.
