I have been delighted to read Eileen Button’s “The Waiting Place”. She’s a wonderful story teller, recreating many memories and experiences and the feelings and emotions of them. These are not portrayed through rose colored glasses, but very human, realistically showing the good, the bad, the happy and the sad. Through it you come to realize that life is a wonderful mixture of it all, without any of which something would be missing. It helped to remind me once again that it would be difficult to truly value and appreciate this wonderful thing we call life without this incredible combination.
"The Waiting Place" reminds us of the wonderful things that can happen and come from what may seem at first glance to be delays, stops, bends or changes in the way we think or want them to be. And from these twists and turns that come into the paths of our lives can come some wonderful experiences, gifts, treasures and beautiful if we will let ourselves see them.
Through reading Eileen’s own personal accounts, I was left with the desire to take a walk down my own memory lane and revisit my own past and life and see beauties have been there waiting for me.

Strike it Rich with Pocket Change
I just had the chance to review “Strike it Rich with Pocket Change” by Ken Potter and Dr. Brian Allen and found it very interesting. This is the updated 3rd edition.
If you are interested in the topic of collecting coins and taking a bit of time to try your hand at studying the coins that pass through your change purse to see if you come across any that could be worth a bit more, this may catch your attention as well! For me as a beginner, I thought it was great and I’m never going to look at pocket change the same again!
For those who know a bit more about the subject since I’m just learning about the subject, I know there are other books out there on the same topic. But this is a great one to get you started. It was a pretty easy read, and most of the book consists of the pages that go through some of the different coins that have been discovered to have some sort of printing error or imperfections which can make them worth much more than meets the eye.
