Grandpa took all these pictures last time we went to beautiful, clear, sandy-beached Crescent Lake.
I saw this picture and thought to myself, well no WONDER he couldn't hear me the whole time, not only was the life jacket up over his ears but it was up his nose the whole time too. And I thought he was just ignoring me.
I just love this picture, don't you just want to sit there until the sun goes down with "It's almost paradise....." playing in the background? Just gorgeous.

I posted this quote a while back, but have grown to love it even more...
"People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you may win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, people may be jealous.
Be happy anyway.
Honesty and transparency make you vulnerable.
Be honest and transparent anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.
People who really want help may attack you if you help them.
Help them anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be good enough.
Give the world your best anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; it was never between you and them anyway."
Meditations from a Simple Path by Mother Teresa
~~~~~~
Don’t Quit
When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill,
When funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don’t you quit.
Life is strange with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won and remained faithful;
Don’t give up though the pace may slow –
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out-
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit –
It’s when things seem worstThat you must not quit.
