Thousands Suns

I’m waiting for life to slow down to read this, the first page really caught my attention.  I got back from St Paul Sun eve, and my husband’s cousin and wife came this am in their motor home, they are very good friends, we were married a week apart 52 plus years ago, and have shared many good times even though they live north of Seattle, near MT. Vernon.  They will leave Fri, and it looks like a quiet weekend. 

 My grandaughters and I read Bridge to Teribithia, and then rented the DVD.  It’s a Newberry award book by Katherine Paterson.  The author is interviewed at the end of the movie and said her son’s best friend was killed by lightening when they were 8 in the 70′s and in attemping to explain to him and herself, she did what writers do, she wrote a story.  Its a touching story about relationships, bullying, and caring, and life and death. 

I haven’t caught up with the messages, but will soon.  Jacky
