My home is a refuge not only from the world, but from my worries, my troubles, my concerns. I like beautiful things around me. I like to be beautiful because it delights my eyes and my soul is lifted up.

(o.k. let me say this was a fun adventure...But we sat on the last row all the way at the top..We had 5 kids and it was 100 degrees...At intermission we left, went to a video store rented the dvd of the movie version went to our house, sprawled out on our huge red couch and watched the movie start to finish....) Whatever works...
