"When we had our children, our ideas changed somewhat. Thenceforward we lived only for them; they made all our happiness and we would never have found it save in them. In fact, nothing any longer cost us anything; the world was no longer a burden to us. As for me, my children were my great compensation, so that I wished to have many in order to bring them up for Heaven" -- Saint Zelie Martin, mother of St. Therese of Lisieux, canonized October 18, 2015 along with her husband St. Louis Martin.

Overheard

We had a thunderstorm this morning.  The storm had passed and Bilbo asked if he could sit on the front porch and work on his fishing stuff.

My husband said he could unless he heard any thunder.  I added "It wouldn't be great to hold a long metal rod in a thunderstorm."

Bilbo walked away and shouted over his shoulder: "They're fiberglass!"

I stand corrected.
