New Family Blog

Dale and I have decided to begin a new family blog of our photographs and musings of our life together. We call it Stanton's Round-Up. It's still a work in progress, but do feel free to visit often.

The Lonely Moon

How like a queen comes forth the lonely Moon
From the slow opening curtains of the clouds
Walking in beauty to her midnight throne!

In Deep Sympathy

My dear hubby's dad--my father in law, passed away last night from the complications of Alzheimer's.

I was privileged to get to meet this dear man a few years ago when he and his sister came to visit Dale.

My heart goes out to my dear husband and his family during this sad time.

Beauty Tips

Beauty Tips

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; Never throw out anybody.

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!
