A philosophy to live by

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do.  So throw off the bowlines.  Sail away from the safe harbor.  Catch the trade winds in your sails.  Explore, dream, discover." 

Mark Twain

Tales from a Misfit Housewife: Eating wild

When I was little, we had neighbors that would host a huge 4th of July bar-b-que and all the neighbors were invited.  I looked forward to it every year.  They had a huge pit in their backyard where they smoked an entire pig for a few days before the event and it was delicious.  One of those years they had a huge spread of different food to eat.  When I asked them what some of it was, They responded with venison and goat.  There was NO WAY I would have touched it.  Then I grew up and married a hunter.

For what it’s worth

"For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be.  There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want.  You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing.  We can make the best or the worst of it.  I hope you make the best of it.  And I hope you see things that startle you.  I hope you feel things you never felt before.  I hope you meet people with a different point of view.  I hope you live a life you’re proud of.  If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again." 

F. Scott Fitzgerald
