Today, my two nephews and I watched the DVD of UP. While I expected the boys would love the DVD, I wasn’t prepared to respond the way I did. This story made me laugh and cry. The adult character was a lovable man suffering from a broken-heart who discovers that life is worth living after the death of his beloved wife.

Mama had scream for her to get into the water.

Being a good hippo, she had scrambled down the river bed and into the water.

My Favorites:

I love the children's movies Wizard of Oz and the Neverending Story. Both movies make me feel the lesson that hope is alive and well. After seeing UP this past week, it just might have a chance at being added to this list.

I love the cool colors of blues and purples.Those colors are peaceful for me.

I love The Velveteen Rabbit. Even as an adult, I still feel the urge to cry when he becomes real. I know, silly, but a good book can make me laugh and cry as it takes me on a magical journey.
