I suspect you lack in neither patience or fortitude.
those are strange names for lions. But good virtues to have!
Hi Mad: I bet you had a real blast in NYC, I love the Patience and Fortitude pictures.
A double dose of Patience and Fortitude were needed here in the last couple of days. My DIL's labour was just awful, I don't think I could have survived it. My son thinks she is a real hero for going through almost 24 hours of labour, using every means of birth assistance known to medical science with no results, and then ending up with an emerg C-section.... WOW! But the end result, Baby Callum, is awesome! I'm such a happy Nana!
Expect lots of pics on the blog!!
I'll take a big slice of patience please. - v
I just think those lions look uncomfortable...so there you have your patience and fortitude.
Great post. I need more of both virtues.
I'm so behind in blog reading/commenting and will make my way backwards. : )
You lack neither patience not fortitude my friend. :)DS
LOL i need both, You look so happy standing there, I bet you had a good time
I actually looked those lions up when you posted them to see what movie I had seen them in, and found out their names. It's neat the way you chose one and your SIL the other. You look so young in that photo, like a high school student.
I absolutely adore how you have created/written this post, Mad! It is brilliant. One of the best I've seen in awhile!
Madz,
What a great trip you had and creative blogging. I'm afraid I'm lacking in patience...
