The movie The Secret Life of Bees will be opening October 17. It is from the book by Sue Monk Kidd.

I read this book and absolutely loved it. I was so excited when I learned that it was being made into a movie. I have plans to go and see it and I hope that I am not disappointed.

For Christmas, 2007 my son and daughter in law asked that we give them our favorite books. I extended this to my daughter also. I suggested that my mother do this and I knew that if I asked my father what his favorite book is he would reply with Ferdinand.

I gave each of my children the book of Ferdinand because I could remember how excited I was to find this book because my father would compare any book I talked about with Ferdinand. Mind you I was in the first grade so about the only thing I was reading was Fun with Dick and Jane.

That Christmas I gave my daughter The Secret Life of Bees. My wish was that she would find it as pleasurable as I did. She did read it and loved it. I do think that was one of the best gift ideas I have ever participated in.
