A friend recently asked me how I find the links I share here. My secret? You! If you have something you think is interesting, you can always email it to me. In the meantime, check out my favorite links from around the web…

• On Wednesday, a friend shared the link to this decades old murder that resurfaced in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel this week. She and I giggled over the way the wealthy housewife defended her husband. Funny - not funny. Read it here.   
  

• Yesterday, a friend called, looking for a poem she recalled -- something about "don't put me in a pine box." I couldn't locate the poem she remembered but I found this one. WOW! 
  

• Food show junkies - this is wonderful! (Thanks Ellen!)
  

• Ready for fall? Check out this fall foliage prediction map.
  

• I loved this Ted Talk given by the "Nancy Drew of Joy." (Also, her manicure!!) 
  

• Here's a diverting post about Kenneth, the former hairdresser of Jackie Kennedy Onassis. 
  

• Imagine winning this in a raffle. What a neat way to transition out of a business. The owner played thisduring the drawing.  
  

• I swear to Dr. Spock, this is what parenting is.
  

• More on parenting: this applies to parents of adult children too. (Thanks Chris!)   
  

• Have you seen this remarkable story about the football coach searching for his family?
  

• The Miss America pageant was last week and a schoolmate of my son's competed as Miss Georgia. As a little girl, I dreamt of being Miss America until I learned she must have been born on U.S. soil. So I contented myself with pretend play. Like these!
  

• Don’t go in there! It’s a trap!   
  

• Ah, to be in 10th grade again, disrupting Monsieur Sheridan's French class with these notebooks. 
  

• Antiques of the Week: Lover of copper? You might have to beat me to this one. Super cool dorm room decor here. These would be interesting on a bookshelf.
