After reading so many wonderful things today from all of you, I wanted to give awards and thank yous and cyber hugs but my eyes are hurting and my arthritic fingers are sore so please let this suffice as my way of saying I’m grateful my path is crossing with so many wonderful new friends.

About The Persecution of Mildred Dunlap
The year 1895 was filled with memorable historical events: the Dreyfus Affair divided France; Booker T. Washington gave his Atlanta address; Richard Olney, United States Secretary of State, expanded the effects of the Monroe Doctrine in settling a boundary dispute between the United Kingdom and Venezuela; and Oscar Wilde was tried and convicted for "gross indecency" under Britian's recently passed law that made sex between males a criminal offense. When the news of Wilde's conviction went out over telegraphs worldwide, it threw a small Nevada town into chaos. This is the story of what happened when the lives of its citizens were impacted by the news of Oscar Wildes' imprisonment. It is chronicle of hatred and prejudice with all its unintended and devastating consequences, and how love and friendship bring strength and healing.
Paulette Mahurin, the author, is a Nurse Practitioner who lives in Ojai, California with her husband Terry and their two dogs--- Max and Bella. She practices women's health in a rural clinic and writes in her spare time. All profits from her book are going to animal rescue, Santa Paula Animal Shelter, the first and only no-kill shelter in Ventura County, CA, where she lives.

Thank you for the music. This is more than sufficient, Paulette. Rest easy.
Awwwwww, sweet. And, looks like you have a fan. 🙂
That’s a great song. Hope your fingers and eyes feel better soon.
Thank you for that! Thankfully, they’re still working. lol 🙂
I like what seeker said. Wonderful song.
I hope seeker sees what you wrote. Very cute. Thank you! 🙂
Thanks for Louis and I hope you stay well!
Bless your ever loving sweet heart. The body has aging issues but I am fine with all of that, especially after recovering (well almost fully up to 90%) from a long bout with Lyme disease. Being able to work, to write, to help dogs, spend quality time with my hubby, family and friend, that I am able to do all this is something I give thanks for daily.
You were one of the people I was thinking of when I put up this video, all the acts of kindness I see you doing and spreading around. A special thank you.
You are so kind and nice to me, i have to return the favour: http://isabeltellsherstories.com/
You already have. Lots. 🙂
🙂
Thank you for showing me something I am glad to see.

Isn’t he just the best? That face is so full of joy! Glad you liked it. 🙂
Just as I tell my two cats Jada and Sammy – you have smoochable faces.

Beautiful song, thank you and good weekend! 🙂
Thank you, in fondo al cuore, I love this song. Wishing you a great weekend also. 🙂
It’s a while since I’ve heard that song. That’s brightened my morning!
Seeing you, Clowie, my very special friend brightens my day. Thank you so much for all the joy you give to so many. 🙂
I am so sorry to hear you have arthritis. It must be incredibly painful and I am thoroughly impressed that you manage to get a blog out at all.
That’s very kind of you. It’s not that bad and I deal with it. Just by the end of the day my muscles and joints… I think some of it is sequela from having a long bout with Lyme disease. Being raised and blessed with a good attitude keeps me in good shape and I have a very high tolerance for pain (don’t use any medications). I eat organic, exercise, write, work, and do what I can. When the joints get stiff I rest them. Trust me, it’s a hand I can deal with (no pun intended). Again, thank you so much for your kind heart. It means a lot. Paulette
Love it.
Oh, I’m so happy so you. Thank you! 🙂
That was a wonderful way to start the morning!
I’m so glad to have found your blog…..and I would never have guessed, starting out in blogging, how many great people I would ‘meet’ in the blogosphere.
I feel the same about you, Helen, and the blogosphere. I was bowled over with gratitude yesterday – it started with a heart broken woman reaching out to her blogger friends to help her find her kitty that had gone missing. The outpouring of others wanting to help her (all over the world) and what it meant to her was absolutely wonderful. There are so many wonderful, inspirational, heartbreaking, you name it things I’ve been encountering through my new friends-as you put it, great people. 🙂
What more could we wish for
What more could we desire
A Thank You to friends
A gift – –
Nothing higher
Ladysighs! What a lovely poem. An honor to have it on my wall. Thank you so much. 🙂
I was planning to write that same poem. 🙂 Somebody beat me to it.
I never know which side of the blog I am going to wake up on first. lol
Just seeing your wonderful face and having you stop by with your always welcome words is more than enough. And, you might have guessed that one of the wonderful bloggers who inspired me to post this song was you! You’ve been hitting it out of the box with the songs (the words) you’ve been putting on you blog lately. Brought back a lot of great memories. lol with you, my friend. 😉
I enjoyed listening to the song you shared. I always listen to the songs people include. I know it is not something they themselves sang or played. But I know it was something special they wanted to share. I listened to a Beethoven the other day from a blogger. It was long but I just went about reading blogs and kept listening. Or maybe it was Mozart…..can’t remember. lol But it was nice. 🙂
🙂
You are the one we are honored to by touched by! Thank you.
Oh my, you are way too kind. I think we could say that about so many great people in this wonderful cyber community of ours. Thank you, friend. 🙂
Hope you may feel better soon.Great music “what a wonderful life”Lymn ilness is something that ask a lot of time to feel better.
Thank for your frienship.
Excuse me for my bad English
Thank you so much for your lovely comment, natuurfreak. I am so much better in the last year, after being ill with Lyme disease for well over ten years. So, I’m very grateful for all my improvements and that I can do so much more. It’s actually kind of sweet, coming from having a life full of health then losing it and now feeling so grateful for so little. I look at that in a way as a gift. You’re English is just fine and very easy to understand. I’m grateful to know you also. Paulette 🙂
you’re pretty great yourself. 🙂
Awwwwwww, sweet. Thanks. 🙂

Yes! What a wonderful world!
Alison! It was Louie Armstrong at his best. So happy to see you here. I’ll sing the song in my head really loudly and send it your way. Along with a huge cyber hug. 🙂
Thanks!
Love me a bit of Louie!

Thank you! I’m a fan and following Rumpydog. I just wrote to her to see if my husband might be able to help (he’s a retired NASA attorney and is only doing pro-bono work now in the local self help legal clinic for the poor in the courthouse). Jen, Rumpy’s mom, does so much to help this world – I hope we can be of some help to her. Hug to you for being such a wonderful friend to so many.
Wonderful, I was hoping you’d help – thank you!
