We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people. — “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” April 16, 1963

Respect your haters. They are the ones who think you are better than them. -Unknown

You don’t understand, no-one does. When a woman makes the choice to marry, to have children; in one way her life begins but in another way it stops. You build a life of details. You become a mother, a wife and you stop and stay steady so that your children can move. And when they leave they take your life of details with them. And then you’re expected move again only you don’t remember what moves you because no-one has asked in so long. Not even yourself. You never in your life think that love like this can happen to you. -Francesca, Bridges of Madison County

and your cute little doggie too!

I was sitting on the couch taking pictures of Kara watching “Pimp My Ride” when I noticed Mooshu (her dog) was sitting on the edge of the couch staring at the fireplace with this look on her face.

She sat there with THAT look for a solid 5 minutes…just staring at the fireplace. I thought for a moment, ‘yeah, that’s surely Kara’s dog. Only her animal could stare into space for long durations of time.’ Then she jumped off the couch and went and sat in front of the empty fireplace.
“Weird Dog.” I mumbled while I shot pictures for the next couple of minutes. Then I heard something behind me.

She was growling at the empty fireplace.

“Mooshu!” Tyler yelled “Knock it off, you know that freaks me out!”

Tyler then explained that Mooshu has been running over to the fireplace and barking once or twice or just growling at it as she passes it.

We realized there is a mouse back there somewhere running around.

It was kinda cool for awhile…thinking our dog could see ‘fireplace ghosts’.
