I was so inspired by Sherone posting the So Long as there are Homes poem, that I wanted to share a quote with all of you. I heard it the other day, and it reminded me of all the dear farmgirls:
A house does not rest on the ground, it's rests on the woman.
It just seemed so fitting for us. And very, very true.
A person is a success if they get up in the morning and get to bed at night and in between does what they want to do. Bob Dylan |

"A man works from sun to sun, but, a womens work is never done." your quote is going to be a new favorite in my kitchen, thanks.

Amen!
These two quotes are so true.

"It's only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth- and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up- that we will begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one we had." Elisabeth Kurler-Ross |

The saying I quoted was on a ceramic plate in my Grandmas kitchen, I always loved it, when she passed it went to me and hangs in my kitchen now.
