Sad News

We lost my dear mother-in-law last week. Ruth Ann was indeed one special lady and will be missed by many. But we celebrate her life, lived always for others--especially for her family and for all those school children she taught for so many years. Hers was a life well-lived.

From the Twenty-third Psalm, one of her favorites:

The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I lack...
You annoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Only goodness and love will pursue me all the days of my life;
I will dwell in the house of the Lord for years to come.

We wish her eternal blessed days...

More Great Reviews for GIFTS FROM GOD

I think Gifts from God was a very pretty book. The photography was good and the single line insets were thought provoking. I think it could be used as a book for the little one on you lap or for a class discussion.

The book is excellent. It is a wonderful simple story that will appeal to PreK--3rd... It can be a teaching tool for the middle grades in getting them to talk about other examples and life related actions and thoughts...It is a wonderful example for use with the 6th, 7th, and 8th grades in getting them to ... write their own story.

Bonjour!

Sorry about not posting for the last two weeks, but I've been travelling. I'm providing a couple picture clues for you to figure out where. For right now, I'm still rather jet-lagged.

Bonjour!
