Oh My Goodness! Isn't this Cherry Blossom Cottage the sweetest thing you've ever seen? I had a very nice day yesterday. Hope you did too. My open house wasn't swamped with lookers but I had a very good book so I didn't even care. I haven't seen the movie yet.The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold
When we first meet 14-year-old Susie Salmon, she is already in heaven. This was before milk carton photos and public service announcements, she tells us; back in 1973, when Susie mysteriously disappeared, people still believed these things didn't happen. In the sweet, untroubled voice of a precocious teenage girl, Susie relates the awful events of her death and her own adjustment to the strange new place she finds herself. It looks a lot like her school playground, with the good kind of swing sets. With love, longing, and a growing understanding, Susie watches her family as they cope with their grief, her father embarks on a search for the killer, her sister undertakes a feat of amazing daring, her little brother builds a fort in her honor and begin the difficult process of healing. In the hands of a brilliant novelist, this story of seemingly unbearable tragedy is transformed into a suspenseful and touching story about family, memory, love, heaven, and living.

That looks like the prefect cottage. Well they all do really. I wouldn't live in a McMansion if you paid me.
Stunning! Oh, I so want to visit this adorable cottage! Oh, and by the way, I read The Lovely Bones last Fall. I happened upon a copy at Goodwill for 25 cents.. in nearly mint condition. Now that I think of it, I loaned it to a friend.. I need to call her !
