A good night's sleep, chocolate, the happiness and satisfaction of sharing on AgingCare forum. Does anyone have some favorite things to think about? Yes, this phrase is from the song in the movie "The sound of Music". My husband and I often resort to using movie lines and song to improve communication. We were the only two in a gathering of people who heard the background music playing. We both had the same (cassette tape/CD). A connection bringing two people together. To this day, we crack up when one uses a simple movie line to make a serious point.
SO, What is one of your favorite movie line, some of your favorite things?
Barbra Streisand
Lyrics
Isn't it rich?
Are we a pair?
Me here, at last, on the ground
You in mid-air
Send in the clowns
Isn't it bliss?
Don't you approve?
One who keeps tearing around
One who can't move
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns
Just when I'd stopped opening doors
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours
Making my entrance again with my usual flair
Sure of my lines
No one is there
Don't you love farce?
My fault, I fear
I thought that you'd want what I want
Sorry, my dear
But where are the clowns?
There ought to be clowns
Quick, send in the clowns
Wait, SEND? Are you sure that song is not about me? Send me!
Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It's cloud's illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all
Moons and Junes and ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way
But now it's just another show
You leave 'em laughing when you go
And if you care, don't let them know
Don't give yourself away
I've looked at love from both sides now
From give and take and still somehow
It's love's illusions I recall
I really don't know love at all
Tears and fears and feeling proud,
To say "I love you" right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way
But now old friends they're acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
Well something's lost, but something's gained
In living every day.
I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all
I've looked at life from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all
And now, old friends are really acting strange, I say.
What did you do, or say after that?
The next day I woke up at 6:30 am, it was still dark and rainy. I walk into the kitchen, there is our son....he is dressed in one of the new outfits we bought the day before........I ran to the kitchen window, my trunk is open. I run outside and sure enough, ....everything we bought was gone. The car keys were hanging in the lick on the trunk....to high for our son to close. I went back in the house walked to our sons room. Under his hex were all the things we bought. The toys were removed from the boxes, clothes were stuffed under the bed.
I am enjoying watching the 4 new movies on Netflics of Gilmore Girls.
Except, these don't have stirrup straps on the foot.
Guide us to that perfect light.
A beautiful rendition....
SendMe, interesting... I've been thinking about how much we enjoyed ice skating when we were growing up. Last week I passed by the Rolladium, an indoor rollr skating rink that's been remodeled recently - brought back such memories. I could remember the sound or organ music that played as we skated round and round the rink.
by Joni Mitchell
It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
But it don't snow here
It stays pretty green
I'm going to make a lot of money
Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
and I wish I had a river to skate away on.
Just made the filling in a giant Pyrex measuring cup that was my mother's. One of the few valuable (to me) things I salvaged from her impossible hoard.
RIP, mom. Just like you, I can pass on storebought and (most) bakery sweets.....but get of my way if it's homemade! I'll have a 2nd piece of pumpkin pie for you.
We stayed out until 10 pm in the neighborhood block with the other kids during summer. When you heard your parent yell your name, you came home. I remember when astronaunts landed on the moon, it was in June, I think, in our I bicentennial, we laid on the lawn with binoculars looking at the mo
on to see if we could see the astronaunts, lol!! There a day when an earthquake was predicted and California would drop off in the ocean, we all hung out with neighbors who had boats!!!!
