Jaci brought this wonderful website to my attention. How many times have you read a book that made you want to write to the author? I have often been inspired by a book to the point of wanting to speak with the author and ask them questions or make comments. Well here is your chance, not only do lots of these pages have e-mail links to the author but they also have lots of insight and information about the author. Enjoy!

OK - is this cool or what! You really should look at the website and see all of the incredible stuff this guy makes with books. The photo came courtesy of his website.

From the website “This Into That offers functional art furniture, primarily book shelves on any theme. Each is made by Jim Rosenau at his studio in Berkeley, California. No books that could change the course of world events are harmed in the production.”

New Olive Oil Health Discovery
Research shows that the beneficial effects of olive oil may extend beyond cholesterol control.
Replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats such as olive oil can help reduce cholesterol and keep the heart healthy. Now researchers have discovered that fresh extra-virgin olive oil contains a compound that helps fight inflammation.

Eating Mediterranean-style meals could reduce the risk of dying from heart disease.
Studies show that when people with coronary heart disease shift their diet toward more Mediterranean cuisine, it can reduce mortality rates. To live a more Mediterranean lifestyle, boost the presence of fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and low-fat dairy on the menu while limiting red meat, sweets, and saturated fat.

Since I have been putting most of my effort into this blog I have not had time to do my daily wellness tips. In an effort to still keep those coming - because I believe that reading the tips does in fact help - I am going to try and put a short wellness tip up on the blog each day.

The Foliage Network was developed to provide accurate foliage information for various locations across the United States. During the months of September, October, and November, The Foliage Network collects data from our foliage spotters twice a week. This data is collected, plotted, and analyzed by The Foliage Network. The end result is The Foliage Network Report which is transmitted to newspapers, television stations, and web sites. The Foliage Report uses actual data unlike other “reports” which use annual averages. Please check your local newspaper to see the latest report. If your newspaper doesn’t carry The Foliage Network Report, let them know you want it!

Did everyone see our picture that was in the paper last week?

In case you don’t remember this was taken at our in-service day earlier this year.

We are a handsome bunch!
