Jane Eyre Movie Trailer Official (HD)

I haven't read any reviews on this movie.  Does anyone know enough about it to recommend it? I'm hoping it's going to be really good!

Jane Eyre Movie

Did you know that a new Jane Eyre movie will be coming out.......I think this Spring? That gives me a little extra motivation to finish reading what to me has been a very difficult book.  I'm loving the story, but really struggling with the "old" English vocabulary.

HAPPY VALENTINES! & Grandma's Motto


I hope you all have a very special day today!

On this Valentines Day the one sweetheart we all have in common is Grandma Mary.  And what an inspiration she is to us. At 87 she is still healthy and active, she fulfills her church assignments without fail, attends the temple every week at least twice, has a much better memory than I've ever had, loves you all more than you can imagine (always "bragging" to us about her wonderful and good looking grand and great grandchildren), and you all know how good she is to remember birthdays etc. 

She does get a little lonely from time to time. Those of us in town make it a point to see her at least once a week, but sometimes she'll go for days without hearing from or speaking to anyone. So when one of you calls or writes she considers it a great blessing. You, all of her loved ones, are such a joy to her! When she knows any of you are traveling or under great strain for some reason or other she really worries.  In fact, she gets worried and stressed over things that to some of us seem inconsequential. 

And like everyone she sometimes gets a little blue. But when things start to get her down she repeats this little mantra, that gives her comfort, and it's something we could all use in our stress-filled lives.

"Do your best! Stop worrying! 
Go forward with faith!"

May we all be so "with it" when we reach the age of 87.  

PS Is anyone reading Jane Eyre with Grandma? We'll look forward to your comments at the end of the month.  Does anyone want to suggest a book for March & April?
