Dear Mike

Do you know Letters of Note?
As the name implies, it publishes interesting correspondence.
I love it because of the window it provides into the interior lives of public people.
Here’s a lovely note the late Ronald Reagan sent his son Michael before his wedding.
Click over to read the whole thing, but here’s a taste:
Mike, you know better than many what an unhappy home is and what it can do to others. Now you have a chance to make it come out the way it should. There is no greater happiness for a man than approaching a door at the end of a day knowing someone on the other side of that door is waiting for the sound of his footsteps.
Long Life Love

This weekend I had the joy of being with both my mother and my paternal grandmother (as we call her, “Nana”) on Mother’s Day. I thought it was pretty neat that - with my children present - we had four generations in the room.
But imagine if we had two more than that!
From Charlottesville, Virginia, comes this sweet story: a photographer got the chance to capture six generations of women from a single... READ MORE

My husband and I will have our tenth wedding anniversary this year, and I feel like we’ve been married “forever” - but we’ve got nothing on this couple!
Eunice and Lloyd Ford were married April 9, 1929, a full EIGHTY-THREE years ago. Wow.
And as a bonus, here are eleven babies around the world. So cute!

You’ve heard the term “babymoon”?
For me, it brings to mind a mother snuggling her newborn, blissed out on cuddles and oxytocin. Maybe she’s got dark circles under her eyes and hasn’t left the house in days, but she’s falling in love with her just-born baby. The happiness is unparalleled.
I’ve never had one of those.
Oh, I love my children, but I think I’ve mentioned that I don’t enjoy the newborn... READ MORE
Carrot Got Your Ring?
Posted by Arwen Mosher in News on Wednesday, January 04, 2012
This beats November’s story all hollow: a Swedish woman found her wedding band a full sixteen years after she took it off and set it on the counter during some Christmas baking.
And clearly she was meant to find it, because it came into her hands right out of the ground, where a carrot in her garden had grown through it.
Isn’t that incredible?
Read the story - and see a picture of the smiling couple and the crazy carrot - here.

This is really sweet.
Ring Gone? Suit Up!

A woman’s husband accidentally throws away her treasured engagement ring. Woe! But then he volunteers to comb the landfill for it. Hero! And then he actually finds it. Wonder of wonders!
Did I mention she’s also pregnant?
It’s like a fairy tale, albeit a slightly off-beat one. Everything about this story made me smile, right down to the compassionate attitude of the garbage plant manager. Read the whole thing here.
Overcoming Evil With Sweet

“Evilest pictures of the pope.”
That’s been a mighty popular internet “meme” the past few weeks.
Blogger Anna Arco “fights” back with Sweetest Pictures of the Pope.
Enjoy ‘em.
Birthday Baking is the Best

Hard to believe that ten years ago today, I spent the morning doing my very best not to curse at a well-intentioned nurse who continually offered me a “birthing ball.”
No thank you, Ma’am ... No, really, I don’t want it ... Please, no ... NO BALL! GO AWAY! NO BALL!
It got pretty ugly.
But birthing ball or no birthing ball, the end result of that labor of love was well worth every bit it cost me.... READ MORE
