"When you come to the edge of all
that you know, you must believe in
one of two things: there will be earth
upon which to stand, or you will be
given wings".

NONVIOLENCE:

Passive resistance is an all-sided
sword; it can be used anyhow; it
blesses him who uses it and him
against whom it is used without
drawing a drop of blood; it
produces far-reaching results.

It never rusts and cannot be
stolen. Competition between
passive resisters does not exhaust
them. The sword of passive
resistance does not require a
scabbard and one cannot be
forcibly dispossessed of it.
~~Mahatma Gandhi~~

Cooking Tips:

To freeze meatballs, place them
on a cookie sheet until frozen.

Place in plastic bags. They will
stay separated so that you can
remove as many as you want.

When making a roast, place dry
onion mix in the bottom of your
roaster pan. After removing the
roast, add 1 can of mushroom
soup and you will have a good
brown gravy.

Quote For Today

Courage: Last, but by no means

least, courage--moral courage,

the courage of one's convictions, the

courage to see things through.

The world is in a constant conspiracy

against the brave. It's the age-old

struggle-the roar of the crowd on one

side and the voice of your conscience

on the other.

~General Douglas MacArthur~

AGING: "A man over ninety is a
great comfort to all his elderly
neighbours; he is a picket-guard
at the extreme outpost; and the
young folks of sixty and seventy
feel that the enemy must get by
him before he can come near
their camp".
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr
