Third Wish (2-Volume Boxed Set with CD) by Robert Fulghum

This book was a change in character for Fulghum, and I was not optimistic that I would get through it when I began it. It's two thick volumes, But danged if I didn't read the whole thing. It's a meditation on friendship, in many ways. A rainy weekend at the lake, or the beach would be perfect!

From Beginning to End by Robert Fulghum

I've loved everything I've ever read by Fulghum, but this is a special favorite, which I gave a to both my children to assist them with the rituals of their lives.
