"To be wise is to be eternally curious." 

Frederick Buechner

"A wise person knows that there is always

something to be learned from everyone."

"It's the questions we can't answer that teach us the most. They teach us how to think.

 If you give a man an answer, all he gains is a little fact. But give him a question and he'll look for his own answers."

Patrick Rothfuss

Music is a moral law. "It gives a soul to the Universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, gaiety and life to everything. It is the essence of order and leads to all that is good and just beautiful." Plato

"Have books 'happened' to you? Unless your answer to that question is 'yes' I'm unsure how to talk to you." Haruki Murakami

"A story can always break into pieces while it sits inside a book on a shelf; and decades after we have read it even twenty times, it can open us up, by cut or caress, to a new truth."

Andre Dubus

"Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery it is. In the boredom and pain of it, no less than in the excitement and gladness: touch, taste, smell your way to the holy and hidden heart of it, because in the last analysis all moments are key moments, and life itself is grace." 

Frederick Buechner

 

"Compassion is the sometimes-fatal capacity for feeling what it is like to live inside somebody else's skin. 

It's the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too."

Frederick Buechner

"Joy is a mystery because it can happen anywhere, anytime, even under the most unpromising circumstances, even in the midst of suffering, with tears in its eyes."

Frederick Buechner

Thank you for stopping in and spending time with me.

Take good care of you.

Not Only Critters at the Fair

 Welcome to yesterday at the Dakota County Fair!

I'm posting to SATURDAY'S CRITTERS 

and City Daily Photo

Today was our lucky day, we could step up and pet this sweet, faced Service Dog below!

Happiness is found through the eyes of dogs.

"Women and cats will do as they please,

 and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea."

Robert A. Heinlein

This was a lover, the more sweet-talking I did the more she wanted!

"It doesn't matter who you are or what you look like, so long as somebody loves you."

Come One Come All

It's always fun to watch the Shootout at the Fair!

Has anyone seen this bad dude?

Tell me will the town's sheriff get his man? 

Come and watch for yourself!

The Sherrif!

Will he be shot?

"A child who loves animals is an adult who has compassion for people."

Nurturing animals not only instills compassion but empathy.

"Alright Dad the guy on the right definitely has dope!"

"He is tough as galvanized nails, this dog."

and he has heart.

Really kiddos? You bought feed and you keep passing me by? Come back! Please!

"Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth."

Muhammad Ali

"Nothing is so contagious as enthusiasm; it moves stones, it charms brutes, Enthusiasm is the genius of sincerity, and truth accomplishes no victories without it."

Bulwer Lytton

Every single time you stop in and listen you learn things. These woodworking craftsmen and lovers of the art of working with their hands and wood or metal show us and teach us things we never knew!

He played a little wood trick with her and

I wish I'd captured the expression of amazement on her face! 

Rescues is some people's favorite breed. Above a 10-week-old puppy, rescued and already trained for stunts!

A boy and his cow.

Cow hug-

When you love something hug it tightly as if you'll never let go!

"One of the main reasons that we lose our enthusiasm in life is because we become ungrateful, and we let what was once a miracle become common to us." Joel Osteen

"Firefighters are indispensable foot soldiers here at home." 

Christopher Dodd

I'm forever grateful for these animal loving folks

 that take time to share their animals with us at the fair!

"If you want something you've never had, you have to do something you've never done."

"There's no limit to how you'll know depending how far beyond Zebra you go."

Dr. Seuss

"Don't count the days, make the days count."

Muhammad Ali

"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give."

Winston Churchill
