Success is:

To laugh often and much;

To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;

To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;

To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others;

To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;

To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.

This is to have succeeded.

Music, raising animals, of course, after being married to a Veterinarian the best years of my life, gardening, cooking and staying healthy! Life is good, always good here as you make it good! It's up to you, really! I've raised some of the finest horses, dogs, you name it and we took great pleasure in keeping them at their best! I cannot imagine any greater joy in life than being loving parents and caring for all God's creatures!

250 years ago, the first veterinary medical school was founded in Lyons, France marking the beginning of veterinary medicine as a profession. In celebration, 2011 has been designated by the World Veterinary Association as the Year of the Veterinarian.

A Birth Certificate shows that we were born.

A Death Certificate shows that we died.

Have a seat. Relax . . .

I Believe...

That just because two people argue,

It doesn't mean they don't love each other.

And just because they don't argue,

It doesn't mean they do love each other.

I Believe...

That we don't have to change friends if

We understand that friends change.

I Believe....

That no matter how good a friend is,

they're going to hurt you,

every once in a while

and you must forgive them for that.

I Believe.....

That true friendship continues to grow,

even over the longest distance.

Same goes for true love.

I Believe...

That you can do something in an instant

That will give you heartache for life.

I Believe....

That it's taking me a long time

To become the person I want to be.

I Believe...

That you should always leave loved ones with Loving words.

It may be the last time you see them.

I Believe....

We do, no matter how we feel.

I Believe....

That sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're

down will be the ones to help you get back up.

I Believe...

That sometimes when I'm angry

I have the right to be angry, but that

doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

I Believe...

That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had

And what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.

I Believe.....

That it isn't always enough,

to be forgiven by others.

Sometimes, you have to learn

to forgive yourself.

I Believe...

That no matter how bad

your heart is broken,

the world doesn't stop for your grief.

I Believe....

That our background and circumstances

may have influenced who we are, but,

we are responsible for who we become.

I Believe...

That you shouldn't be

so eager to find out a secret.

It could change your life forever.

I Believe....

Two people can look at the exact same

Thing and see something totally different.

in a matter of hours

by people who don't even know you.

I Believe...

That even when you think

you have no more to give,

When a friend cries out to you,

you will find the strength to help.

I Believe...

That credentials on the wall

do not make you a decent human being.

I Believe...

That the people you care about

most in life are taken from you too soon.

I Believe...

That you should send this to

all of the people that matter to you

'The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;

They just make the most of everything they have.

Not so much anymore. Maybe the HGTV, I like it pretty well. And the Discovery channel.

Okay, I've added the History channel, thanks to a dear friend. And I like it! Thanks Bob!

Romantic comedies, action & drama. Some history documentaries are cool too.

I grew up reading books & now I find most everything I want to know about on the internet.
