Hope Springs...

Oh, I love a movie with people  who are my age starring in it! I enjoyed this heartbreaking funny movie. I laughed and shed a tear or two.Meryl Streepe you are a hero... Good one! My daughter and her husband saw it and to my chagrin they thought it was gross! Her words. People that age should not be thinking of that stuff! I had to remember I have said almost the same thing about people who are way too young to think of those same things!

Despite the drought a few hardy flowers...

Reading on the porch...

I have been reading a lot this last couple of weeks and I picked up some good ones at the library...the very best one was Julia's Chocolates by Cathy Lamb! Irreverent, tragic, funny and so human. I hated to finish it, to let go of the characters. I want more of this author. I've been listening to the Jane Austin Book Club by Karen Joy Fowler while I force myself to ride my bike every morning...it is working. The Sunday Wife by Cassandra King. Good but tragic. Harder to read than her other much funnier stuff but there is hope out there...
