Memories of “Little Women”

 As you read this, listen to the YouTube soundtrack of Little Women, as it will take you to that place of old and  bring back memories of your own.

Every time I watch “Little Women”, it brings back my fondest memories of my sisters and mom.

My mom, sister (Kristen), and I made a special trip to Portland to see this movie in December of 1994.  I remember it being a cold day as we walked into the warm, huge, and packed theater.  The sense of warmth of the theater, and  all the people made me know that this was going to be a special movie.  And must I say, that was the most comfortable theater chair I ever sat in!

Once those opening credits started, I started having goosebumps just from the beautiful and powerful music!

lw75a…and was quite frustrated that Laurie and Jo never married!  Come one!  Oh well!

 Seeing this movie with my mom and sister was a memory I will never forget !

Every time I watch this family of women, it brings back memories of my mom, sisters and I.  There were special and sweet moments; and there were moments that were not so sweet.  But all those moments we shared together brought us to be the women we are today, as it was for Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There are quite a number of similarities when I compare the March girls with my sisters and I. 

lw15a ~ Jo is like Mariel.  Very confident and feisty, but has a soft heart.

lw61a ~ Meg is very much like Kristen.  She has always had a quiet, modest way about her.

lw16a ~ Amy?  Well, you can say that would be me.  The baby who always wanted to do what her sisters where doing; and can be quite feisty herself.

lw78a ~ Beth seemed to exude all of us in one or the other.  We all had a shy side about us, and would rather be in the background then in the spotlight.

As Jo says,…lw112a “I could never love anyone as I love my sisters!”

I love this movie. It's one of my most favorite movies of all time! I cry every time Beth dies, I sigh every time Jo says no to Laurie, I smile when each girl gets married, or when Jo finishes a book or when she stands in the attic after Beth dies and all the memories flow back. It's just a GREAT movie!

We watched Little Women on Thanksgiving, and even the guys got involved. I haven't watched it in years, but you are right, such good memories. Enjoy your day.

A Baby Changed Everything!

As you read this post, play the video below.  I was inspired by this song to create a post that will be a reminder to us all of what this season means.  As you spend time with family, friends and loved ones, remember our Lord’s birth, life, death and resurrection, which was done for you and I. Merry CHRISTmas to you all! T eenage girl, much too young Unprepared for what’s to come “ I am the Lord’s servant…May it be to me as you have said.”  Luke 1:38   A baby changes everything “ T oday this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing. “  Luke 4:21 N ot a ring On her hand All her dreams and all her plans   A baby changes everything   A baby changes everything “ C ome to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”  Matthew 11:28   T he man she’s loved she’s never touched How will she keep his trust “ J oseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Hol

Craft Fair and other news

W ell, it’s been a busy 2 months, trying to get all those yo yo doiles I wanted to get done before the craft fair.  Phew!  I didn’t get all of them done, but found out it was okay because it was not a busy craft fair. D ue to the mis-advertising done by our local newspaper, and 2 BIG football games that weekend, it was slow.  But even if I didn’t get to sell as much as I wanted…which I was disappointed…it turned out to be a great time with my friend, Lisa.  We spent some quality time talking about EVERYTHING under the sun, plus just talking about what God’s been doing in our lives.  Also, we got to know some of the other vendors and enjoy their booths during breaks.  I sure wish I got photos of their booths…but here are my favorites: ~ Angelica Herbs :  www.angelicaherbsoforegon.com (this site it coming soon) ~ Cupboard of Blessings :  www.cupboardofblessings.com   ~ Paupers Candles :  www.pauperscandles.com ~ Candle, Bath and Spa :  www.candlebathandspa.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~
