A Movie Recommendation
I just watched the movie, Miss Potter. I was terribly moved by it. It is the story of Beatrix Potter, the author of the classic children's book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit. She was a fascinating woman: incredibly imaginative and talented as an artist and author. She led a very interesting life and the movie portrayed it well. The story was endearing and true to her life, the cinematography was gorgeous and they used a little bit of animation to really bring her imagination to life. The special features on the DVD provided even more background to her life and I feel as though I have gained some very worthwhile knowledge. I highly recommend the movie and am excited to go out and buy my own copies of Peter Rabbit and other stories like The Tale of Jemima Puddleduck and Squirrel Nutkin so that I can read them again for myself and share them with my kids.

Oh! I didn't realize it was out on DVD yet. I have a bit of an obsession with Beatrix Potter and her books. I collect them "for the children" and really enjoy the little bits of good literature that they provide each time we read them. We even found a website with Miss Potter's themes/stores/interactive games and such. I'll have to send you the link.
Have an amazing trip and see you when you return.
Thanks for the recommendation. I've had that on our Netflix queue for a while, but I think I'll move it on up to the top after the good review!
i saw that at the video store the other night...i didn't think seth would go for it. i guess i'll have to wait to watch it some night when he's not around :-)
I put it on my Netflix queue, but there is a wait.
Thanks for your comment on Evan's blog!
