I went with a friend to see "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" and found it better than I expected. There were really honest moments about aging, and the characters were more complex, probably because they were played by such able actors. Yes, it was sentimental, but at the end of people's lives, sentiment plays a big part, it's natural. I found myself feeling something for each of the characters.
I just got off the phone with a dear friend who's been away and is now returned, and we had a heart felt conversation. I really missed her and I'm happy to have her back. We'll meet up Friday. Today I'm glad to see the sunshine and looking forward to taking my foster granddaughter to the nearby rose gardens. She's developed quite and interest in plants, and I want to encourage her.
In the meantime, I'm reading Toni Morrison's "Home", which is beautiful and soulful so far. She is a treasure, and I'm always delighted when in new book arrives.
