Check Out This Great Looking Photo of Sara Evans Without Her Makeup.

SARA EVANS posted a Facebook photo of herself without makeup on Sunday and almost instantaneously her page was bombarded with "likes" and positive comments. In fact, within ten minutes of the post she had OVER 3,000 Facebook "likes"! And as of last night, she had passed 43,500. Here's Sara's original post, quote, "I'm feeling brave and posting a picture of me without makeup." Even more amazing is that Sara's gotten over 5,000 comments and 99.9% are positive. Even the negative ones are just guys trying, and failing, to be funny. Most of the comments were like, "You look better without makeup" . . . or . . . "You are gorgeous without makeup." And my favorite, "Hot is an understatement!" By the way . . . this didn't start out as any kind of statement by Sara. She did it on a whim because she was so pumped about the way her stylist had done her hair that day. Sara has impeccable timing too.  She was taping footage for one of her "Simply Sara" Webisodes while this whole thing was going down.  (--You can watch that here.)  As you'd expect, Sara was blown away by all the positive feedback. She said, quote, "We were truly shocked. I've never had that many 'likes' on anything. "I think people responded to it because it's just very real, and as women we are way, way too hard on ourselves. It just felt good to send a picture out with no makeup . . . just me exactly as I am . . . and get that kind of response."

A Guy Spent 55 Years Protecting New England's Tallest Elm Tree. When They Both Died, He Was Buried in a Coffin Made from Its Wood.

In 1956, a logging company owner named Frank Knight in Portland, Maine decided to protect an elm tree. At 110 feet tall, it was the tallest elm in New England. And Frank made it his life's mission to keep the tree alive. He made sure it wasn't cut down for lumber, and he had workers from his company prune it regularly and treat it with pesticides, so it would stay healthy. After nearly 55 years of Frank caring for it, the tree died of Dutch elm disease two years ago. It was the 14th time the tree had the disease, and the first time that Frank couldn't get it to pull through. On Monday, Frank died at 103 years old. And he'll be buried in a coffin made out of wood from the tree. His friends secretly took some of the wood from the tree when it was cut down, so they could pay tribute to Frank for spending more than half his life as its volunteer caretaker.

This is a very touching story. I just wish that more of these types of stories were available. It's comforting to know that there are people out there that care so much for another living thing. If you know of someone like that, email me the story and I'll get it posted! Sent your stories to wolfman943@gmail.com.
