As Marie says, "Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genious will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated failures. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent." (Calvin Coolidge)
Read it. It will brighten your day.

I have poured over Marie's blog. She IS truly an amazing spirit. Her words and attitude make the world a bit brighter place. Wouldn't it be wonderful if you and Ben could go to England and meet her one day? Just like mine and Dad's honeymoon. Tell her your MIL thanks her for all her encouraging words for my wonderful daughter in law. We are in total agreement on your talent!
Oh YES!! You and Ben MUST come over here one day for a second honeymoon! I'll treat you right good. You'll be spoiled senseless! Oh what a wonderful thought that is! Just be sure to come when my boss is away so I can come out to PLAY! Oh, and mamaK, thanks so much for your lovely words. Listen to you mama in law Duckie. You are talented beyond belief and you MUST come over here to play!
