A member of Parliament to Disraeli: "Sir, you will either die on the gallows or of some unspeakable disease." "That depends, Sir," said Disraeli, "whether I embrace your policies or your mistress."

"I feel so miserable without you; it's almost like having you here." - Stephen Bishop "He is a self-made man and worships his creator." - John Bright "I've just learned about his illness. Let's hope it's nothing trivial." - Irvin S. Cobb "He is not only dull himself; he is the cause of dullness in others." - Samuel Johnson "He is simply a shiver looking for a spine to run up." - Paul Keating "In order to avoid being called a flirt, she always yielded easily." - Charles, Count Talleyrand "Why do you sit there looking like an envelope without any address on it?" - Mark Twain "His mother should have thrown him away and kept the stork." - Mae West "Some cause happiness wherever they go; others, whenever they go." - Oscar Wilde "He uses statistics as a drunken man uses lamp-posts... for support rather than illumination." - Andrew Lang "He has Van Gogh's ear for music." - Billy Wilder "I've had a perfectly wonderful evening.

A 3-in-l event; Mother’s Day, twins Ty and Camryn’s baptism along with their 8th month birthdays. Camryn was the first to be baptized, she didn’t have any objections whatsoever being admitted to he church. The common method nowadays is pouring, or, splashing water on the forehead three times. It’s a family custom from generation to generation to baptize the infants in a christening gown which is treasured and a keepsake, unfortunately, the Bertschy gown wouldn’t fit. Ty and Camryn, were outfitted in a Baptismal outfit consisting of vest and dress, which Sharron, Leanne’s mother, purchased especially for the purpose, Leanne and Steve will no doubt use a few more times, (Just kidding Leanne). It was Ty’s turn next, it’s amazing how good natured the twins were at a time like this, neither Ty or Camryn kicked up a stink.Danin also took part in the family ceremonies, he was very pleased when asked to helped pour water in the christening water container. hut, it’s a completely different story when he is behind the camera. I will have to say, it was an eventful moment for Leanne and Steve. Also, they have children they are very rrpmirl nf Here ."OT the grandparents and ministers after the baptism.
