This is such a heart warming story about a man who has a 37 day encounter with a butterfly.
After all the negative news, it is good to read something so precious.
Share it with your children!

I saw this movie today, and it was surprisingly funny. I hadn’t particularly wanted to go, but I was glad I did.

In a mere 371 pages Holly goes from being a devastated, whiny, soon-to-be divorcee to a sense of personal empowerment. Shortly after Holly marries, she finds her husband [...]

I enjoyed this book by Fern Michaels. It is only the second one I’ve read by her.
Central to the story are three sisters ranging in age upwards from 69. They were so funny to me, especially when they instigate a ‘kidnapping’ of sorts, which is really a rescue. I suppose what I [...]

As I wrote in my previous post, Aromaleigh has a wide variety of colors to choose from. If I were starting to look into minerals, I think I would look only here. I don’t think you could go wrong. Plus they have a forum, a gallery of photos (don’t let any of [...]

Do you like to wear mineral makeup? For the most part, I do not wear mineral foundation, I prefer a liquid. I don’t find the liquid mineral foundations to be as good in their color range, or any better, than a normal liquid foundation.

I came across this interesting woman, Ruth Hamilton, yesterday, and now I can’t remember where. Perhaps you’ve looked at my various links and seen the link to the oldest blogger — well Ruth was even older — 109, imagine! And embracing new technology!
If you want to see and listen to a woman, born [...]

This book is a coming of age book for the forty- or fifty- or sixty- year olds. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Not only was it entertaining, it was affirming and real — or as real as it could be if you were in these circumstances.
Jackie Laurens is the divorced mother of two young [...]
