Pope Francis announced that Mother Teresa would be declared a saint after recognizing a second miracle attributed to her: the healing of a Brazilian man with multiple brain tumors after loved ones prayed to her.  That miracle occurred after her death. Mother Teresa will be declared a Saint on September 4^th.

This week we are featuring some of the children at Kids Putnam. We asked them things about Easter and got some really cute answers.

Thanks to Kids Putnam for letting me talk to the children in Mrs. Cindy Sullivan’s class. The kids had fun “reporting” about Easter and how to make our annual Easter Egg Hunt at Cane Creek Sportsplex successful.

Sad news, but a lot of us wondered if it was coming. Don Henley said the Eagles are done. The surviving members gathered after the Grammy performance that featured Jackson Browne in the place of Glen Frey, who died suddenly in January and they agreed that was their final farewell. He added that he thought it was an appropriate farewell.

David Jackson of Canada says he heard cries coming from the yard, so he and his dog Meg went to investigate. When they got outside, they discovered a tiny, baby bunny stumbling through the grass. Meg, an 11-year-old yellow lab, immediately took to the bunny. Which is a good thing, because Jackson noticed a couple of ravens waiting to swoop in and attack. Meg kept the predators away as she played with the bunny, which Jackson named Little John Stamos.

The “handsome felon” was released from prison Tuesday and he’s looking to launch a modeling career.

He’s already got an agent and offers on the table. I hope he’s learned how to invest that money he will make and doesn’t blow it all in one weekend.

A new movie is set to tell the story of one of the most fascinating men in history, artist Vincent Van Gogh. It’s called “Loving Vincent” about one of the world’s most beloved painters.  The film will be told through his actual works as if he’s telling you his autobiography. The film researches his life and controversial death. Incredibly, each and every frame will be hand-painted by over 100 painters in specially-designed work stations called Painting Animation Work Stations (PAWS). There are 56,800 frames in oil on canvas, just as van Gogh himself painted them, in order to create 12 oil paintings per second for their 80-minute film. Here’s the unique trailer…..
