Quotes from my friend, DB...


A blogger friend of mine, DB, is a wonderful writer and likes to pen his own
quotes. He has sent me hundreds of them. I have been wanting to post
them for a long time now. The problem has been selectingthe ones I want
to post. They are all wonderful!! I am going to do this in two posts. DB can
be found at
Vagabond Journeys. Thanks, DB!! Go tell him hello and you
love his work! Have a great rest of the day, my friends! Val =)
