Some fun Sides Notes from the current OUR IOWA magazine; written vertically in the margins. Installment #1 of 2:

"Every sunset is new and exciting..........
unlike television,
there are not reruns."

*
"Prayer is taking
our troubles to God.
Faith is leaving them there."

*
"A mystery of life 
is bare spots in the lawn
and grass growing
in the driveway."

*
"Someone once asked me
if I ever went up to the plate
trying to hit a home run.
I said,
"Sure every time!"

~ Mickey Mantle

*"You have achieved success in your field
when you don't know
whether what you're doing
is work or play."
