Fannie Flagg's newest
Can't Wait to Get to Heaven by Fannie FlaggMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
3 stars if you're under 60, 4 if you're over.
sort of a wonderful life theme.
I love Fannie's sense of humor, but this was a little too sappy.

The Irresistible Henry House
The Irresistible Henry House by Lisa GrunwaldMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Loved this book for the story, the history of practice babies (had never heard of the concept), the Dr. Spock angle, the Disney lore, the Berkeley connection and even the Green Stamps!
Thanks, Julie. A perfect read.

A missed gem
I can't believe as much as I love children's literature and collage that I've never seen this gorgeous book before.
Stephen Parlota tells a magical story - every creature loves to read so much that they turn into what they're reading about, people into horses, rabbits into turtles. His use of collage is magnificent!
Thanks to Mindy Crum and her 3rd grade friends for educating me about him

and yet another beloved author
Jan Brett
She was at the zoo today signing her new book:
I told her her books just get better and better.
The African theme permeates throughout the book with glorious patterns.
Here's a picture of a real dassie
and dassie, Timbi, from the book
Here the bus she's been touring the country in. Quite a site!
pinch me, please!
I can hardly believe I got to meet Patti Digh,
the illustrious author of these amazing books:
and look - here she is -holding up my art quilt, called Shine!
She and Jane LaFazio are fast friends, sharing a love of their new cowboy boots.
Such a privilege to be invited to be in the picture with these extraordinarily talented women, Patti, Jane, Linda Bannan and Wendee Lee
Near the end of Patti's inspiring talk we were invited to choose, without looking, a rock from her collection
Oddly enough - here's mine:
Shine is surely on my mind these days,
from my art to the shine stamp Davi gave me before she left, to David Crowder to This Little LIght of Mine at mass on Friday.
I'll do my best!

walking in good company for good causes!
Rita and James, we love you!
Glad I could be with Michael, walking for the first time without Peggy.
This is such a beautiful poem to honor our beloved friends with Alzheimer's
Do not ask me to remember.
don't try to make me understand.
Let me rest and know you're with me.
Kiss my cheek and hold my hand.
I'm confused beyond your concept
I am sad and sick and lost.
All I know is that I need you
To be with me at all cost.
Do not lose your patience with me.
Do not scold or curse or cry.
I can't help the way I'm acting,
Can't be different 'though I try.
Just remember that I need you,
That the best of me is gone.
Please don't fail to stand beside me,
Love me 'til my life is done.
