It stated with Omar Sharif's death and reading about him and one of my favorite movies " Funny Girl." http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/10/entertainment/omar-sharif-dies/ From there I went to the look up Alexandria Egypt, the birthplace of Omar. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Alexandria. I was offended in the information at this site because they stated "Julius Cesar dallied with Cleopatra." As it happens, I am listening to the audiobook "Cleopatra" by Stacy Shiff (http://www.audiobooks.com/audiobook/cleopatra-a-life/83726) and have learned a lot about Cleopatra, more than enough to know that she wasn't just dilly dallying around with Cesar. She was way to smart and determined to let something insignificant happen through "dallying around." Other websites of interest or information about Cleopatra can be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleopatra, https://librivox.org/cleopatra-by-jacob-abbott/, and William Shakespeare's "Antony and Cleopatra" at https://archive.org/details/antony_cleopatra_1109_librivox. I enjoy audio books a lot because I can add this to my drive time.
From Cleopatra, I went to this site, a sad site that reminds me how much I need to value today: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/candace-johnson/living-in-the-moment_b_7754246.html?ncid=txtlnkusaolp00000592 It also has reminded my how much I love my family and friends.
Today's earrings are another pair of beads made from paper. I liked the findings on these and may have to buy some more different pieces to put together with my paper beads.
