I love Chick Lit… and being a “sap” as I was called this evening, I enjoy a good sappy book about a good sappy subject.
I just finished reading “Annie Freeman’s Fabulous Traveling Funeral” by Kris Radish and it was wonderful! I gave it to C to read and told her “You cannot read this on the bus!” I was in tears laughing and then crying inside the first ten pages!
I took the book to Starbucks one morning to sit outside and read for a bit before jumping in to the day’s work… I had to stop reading because I was sitting there sobbing (quietly)… Yup, I’m a sap. Geez.
The book is a wonderful story about friendships among women and I’ll leave it at that… read the book… have a good cry… be thankful for the women friends in your life… I certainly am…

…hard to believe he’s been gone almost a year… it’s been a very full 11 months and I’m grateful for the almost 16 years that Hobbes lived with me… he even put up with Basil, mostly when I wasn’t looking.

Sometimes when we (okay, me) are not feeling spiritually nourished there are those “100-calorie pack” conversations (a little nibble of something oh so delectable) that bring it all home… conversations that remind me that through the struggle - through the desert – through the weeds – there is God!
That’s all and sometimes that’s enough…

This is the open doll house. I have some close ups of each room, there’s much detail to see… This is going to be a challenge to move! Time to start packing the rooms up now… one by one…

These photo are of a small “room box” made inside a box and lid. My mother made the perfume bottle sets using beads and the “trays” are made of buttons or pin backs and other such things! She and I have been to bead stores in MA, VA, Canada, the UK, and many other places.
