“Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after the other”
Walter Elliot
“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan “press on” has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race”
Calvin Coolidge
“Success is not measured by what you accomplish, but by the opposition you have encountered, and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.”
Orison Swett Marden

Did you see the Jeff Daniel’s segment on “Sunday Morning?” I wasn’t expecting it or I would have recorded it. They had some scenes around & inside the Purple Rose– I was looking for you but if you were there I didn’t recognize you 😦 but it was a great segment!!
Hey there! Yep, I saw it – thought it was very nice! You wouldn’t see me, I don’t spend much time over there anymore, just the occasional visit – I”m spending all my time in Williamston making that place happen!
Hope your weekend’s been good! I saw your post about the VERY long and trying week, but when I went to reply it was gone! Hope things got better!
We’ve just been sitting quietly & healing 🙂 I took the post down because I decided to count my blessings and quit whining.
We just took Ron out for Chinese food for his birthday where much fun was had by all and my parents gave him cash and a Dustbuster– both delightful surprises. Emma went shopping with my mother and picked out a teddy bear with an “I love you” sweater for him– he loved that too. So all is well and a better week starts tomorrow. Right? Right!
Now I’m off to my parents for our ritual West Wing/Housewives/Grey’s Anatomy watching. Hope you have a great week!
Glad to hear you’re all doing well!
Great West Wing tonight, I thought.
