reading is good for the soul indeed

I am currently reading "The Boston Girl " by Anita Diamant . this is a very good book and I could not recommend it more . There are very few books that I consider any good in this world . I think this is one of them . I certainly enjoyed this one . If the authors name looks familiar that is because she wrote "The Red Tent"and any of you who read this you will know that she writes very well. But again this is all my opinion so if you do happen to find yourself reading this book or do read it please let me know how you liked it .I liked it so much that I have read it in two days !!! Yes two days I heard some people say they read it in one sitting, yes you read that right one sitting . Oh well my dear readers enjoy your day and take care all .

oh the things I find to make envelopes !!!

yes these papers came from an aviation calendar and to think that most of these people in these photos are probably long gone into the great beyond but just thought they would make wonderful envelopes and why not give something different to look at while mailing a letter ? again the things I find to make envelopes out of , Oh my lions and tigers and bears . And yes speaking of Lions and tigers and bears . I just finished a great book written by Thomas French it is 'zoo story life in the garden of captives . It is about some of the animals that lived at Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa Florida and being one who has visited this zoo I highly recommend a visit and to read this book . I remember once taking my kids to the Lowry Park zoo and they had a chimp there named chester who is featured in this book , yes I remember him because he would throw dirt and poo at people . Well my son got missed and another young man standing beside him got hit with the nasty mess and he was like eww ..and his friends were not so kind to him calling him stinky while leaving the chimp area . Oh well just thought I would plug the book while I was at it .Well that is it for today dear readers .

Mail Art , oh lovely mail art

yes dear

readers this is my mail art and I don't claim to be an artist but I just think that fun

mail is better than just a plain old envelope ...don't you agree ? don't you think that it is fun

to get fun decorated mail than just plain mail ...I just love to share my mail art with my pen

pals and friends .

I often wonder what my dogs think at times

I just saw this commercial on tv and the dog is talking back to the lady "yes Im hungry , of course im hungry .. too cute and I often wonder if this is how dogs think of what we say to them . I wonder if all animals are like that especially when you attend the zoo. I wonder if the animals there think " wow look at these stupid people eweing and awing over us . LOL ... I guess this is just one of those things you might often think about . At least I do anyway . Do any of you that have pets or any of you out there ? oh well enough for now dear readers .

Happy Earth Day !!!!

Yes Happy Earth day to everyone . Go out and plant something and make the earth a better place than you left it today . Even if it is just taking flowers to someone . Mother Earth gave us those flowers enjoy them .

finally a company that does the right thing for once

I had , had a problem with some potting soil I had purchased at lowes and now I found out that it was mushy and nasty and had an odor so I just got rid of it . However when I called Lowes they were great and said that they would send me a gc and to me that made it right . Now normally I don't use miracle grow potting soil I use the organic stuff and to the organic stuff I add perlite and vermiculite and then wallah you have an awesome soil . Anyways it is good to know that there are still some companys that do the right thing and make it right . so all in all I have had a good day and looking for an even better one tomorrow . Im going to look at seeing about going on a ghost tour . Yes folks they have ghost tours here in the city I live in . I know they have them in savannah ga and I just loved those when I went on one of them . well got a letter back today from someone saying they were unable to forward it and for the life of me I cannot understand why unless this person is moved on and if so okay they will let me know I hope they will least ways if not then  I wont bother either from my side . Okay kiddies that is it for now and all of you take care .
