New Movie based on Book

So I am still reading the Book "The Secret Lives of Bees" and I am not giving up until I finish it. You know how sometimes life gets a little crazy so that your goals gets put in the back seat for a little while, figuratively speaking. Although, I am kind of excited because I just found out that in October the movie is coming out based on this book. It is starring Dakota Fanning, Jennifer Hudson and Queen Latifah. I watched a clip of the movie and I am sure it will be a good one. I want to finish reading the book first so that I can compare the accuracy of the movie. So far I have been surprised at the way people were so cruel in the days of the 60's era. I have never understood why predjudice could make people do such crazy things. It is also interesting to learn about the ability to love and care for others and the transformations love brings us. If you are reading this book I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions on what you are getting out of it.

Hi Val Blair,

I found your blog while blog stalking! I love seeing everyone and their families. How have you been through out the years? We had some fun times together way back when! Hope you are well. We are all doing great. We just moved out of the same home we have lived in for 25 years. We are building a new home up Black Canyon. My family is growing but I don't think I will ever have as many grandchildren as you do!! I don't have a blog but just wanted to say hi. You may have seen my older three childrens blogs on here. Matt and Jessica, Brandon and Amber and Jared and Kandra. Check them out! Take care. Would leave my email address but don't want to in case some of those crazy blog stalkers find it! Shireen has my email address and she could forward it to you if you feel like talking:)
Love,
