CHIHUAHUAS FOR CHANGE

Be sure to scroll down when you see this picture.

Magic Margot Shoebox is a collection point for all that I hold dear - and that's a lot. My recent inspiration is Don Floyd's new blog thecaptainandthomasine.

The original title of my blog "Chihuahuas for Change" popped into my head two years ago when I was looking for a place to "store" all the information I accumulated on Sarah Palin. I've since dumped that information as others have done a far better job researching and accumulating.

Life is about change and since I have darling Libby the chihuahua the title seems to still be fresh.

KINDNESS

One can pay back the loan of gold, but one dies forever in debt to those who are kind.

"Nullius in verba" Take no one's word for it.
Do your own research.

Success if going from one failure to the next with enthusiasm. Winston Churchill

SHOEBOX


I told you this is a shoebox and we all know that we simply put stuff into a shoebox in no particular order. That's how things are going to appear here. When something whaps me over the head you will be the first to know.

Right now, I want to tell you about my favorite blog in the whole wide world - Margaret and Helen. Hope you go read their post called "I can see November" - while there note their statistics. A grandson set this site up and it's been around the world several times. Margaret and Helen have been friends for over sixty years and counting.

Don Floyd and I have been friends for more than thirty years and counting. We first became pen pals in the late 70's. We are cousins and share a passion for genealogy. My major project this year was helping Don get his book "The Captain and Thomasine" published. Will give you more details in later post.

SOME FAVORITE QUOTES 

Hakuna Matata!What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata!Ain't no passing craze
It means no worries For the rest of your days
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata! 
 
From the day we arrive on the planet 
And blinking, step into the sun 
There's more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done 
There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found 
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky 
Keeps great and small on the endless round  
It's the Circle of Life
And it moves us all 
Through despair and hope 
Through faith and love 
Till we find our place 
On the path unwinding 
In the Circle The Circle of Life 
It's the Circle of Life And it moves us all
Through despair and hope 
Through faith and love  
Till we find our place 
On the path unwinding In the Circle 
The Circle of Life
 
"My character or nature is made up of infinite particles of inherited tendencies from my ancestors - a little seed of laziness came from this grandfather, some remote grandmother has stamped me with a fear of dogs and a love of horses; there may be in me a bit of outlawry from a pirate forefather, and a dash of piety from one who was a saint. My so-called particularities, my gestures, my ways and manners, I borrow them all, without exceptions. So everything in me passes on through my children. I am sewn between ancestry and posterity".   Oliver Wendell Holmes
