A Book Is A Present You Can Open Again and Again

This is the season for gifts, isn't it? Weddings, graduation, Father's Day, Housewarmings, etc. Why not give a book? Image credit: I scanned a greeting card designed by Mary Engelbreit.

I've never been to Cornwall either. You know I love this Cornwall Cottage.

Beautiful Stone Church in New Zealand

Church at Lake Tekapo New Zealand

I've never been to New Zealand but this beautiful photograph makes me want to go Down Under. Two readers send the following information: "This church was built on the lake shore as a memorial to the pioneers of the MacKenzie Country, nearby stands a very touching memorial to the dogs who worked this country as well. A stunningly beautiful spot. Just beyond the church is a lake with a color you have to see to believe." Now I really want to go.

World's Best Dollhouse

This early period Georgian Doll House with a  Palladian influence is absolutely amazing, isn't it? It's certainly one a girl would never outgrow. She and her mother could play here and decorate in miniature forever. It really is an architectural masterpiece. I want one too. 

Matisse's Studio

Matisse obviously liked to work in bed. I like that about him.

Baby Bluebird Rescue Day 2

I think this is a different juvenile bluebird that flew the coop this morning.

He/she can't fly either.

Webster looks through the screen wondering, "When is this foolishness going to be over so I can go in the backyard again?"

"What should I do?" this young bluebird asks my mother. She's legally blind from macular degeneration and had to get very close to to see this little one. She'll be 90 in October and she's still going strong except for her eyesight. She doesn't dye her hair either...really! I think she's beautiful inside and out.

Where's the father bluebird when you need him? He should be here giving flight school lessons.

Life's Little Instruction Book | Volume II | Page 13

I think I'd change #557 from safety pins to big binder clips. They're such handy things, aren't they?
