My plans today at some point! I‘m deciding when ….

Also this clears the room as no one will watch it with me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣#holidayfriends

Side note- HUGE SNOWFLAKES happening now as the lake affect snow hits us! ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

IndoorDame They should totally watch that with you. It‘s the best!!! (It used to be a secret Yom Kippur tradition when I was little. When the first set of grown ups would get too cranky and go home to break their fast, we‘d sneak back with them and they‘d always set me and my BFF and all the siblings watching that while they went back for afternoon services) 1y

TheBookHippie @IndoorDame I‘ve tried to explain hat and glove wearing to people who just stare… like wait you didn‘t go and count hats? 🤣 was my family weird why did I have to wear gloves as a child 🙃 1y
IndoorDame 🤣❤️👒🤣 1y
dabbe Christopher McDreamy Plummer. Sigh. I've had a crush on him since the first time I saw this at the age of 6. He's gone, and I still love him--even though he was cranky about doing this movie. 1y
TheBookHippie @dabbe I do so agree! My family mocks me to death because I say he is quite elegant. 1y

@UwannaPublishme did you challenge me to watch this before the end of 2020? I remember telling someone I would watch this and here I am watching it...I'm surprised by how many of the songs I know

#TheWorstMemory #LitsyLove #PenPals #Letters #FilmChallenge #BookWorm #BookLover #Post #LazyAfternoon

UwannaPublishme Yes I did! Yay for watching! Now we can hum all the songs together. Looking forward to hearing your full review on my favorite movie. 😊🎼🙌🏻 3y
Crazeedi I know every single song and probably half of the words spoken, this is one of my most favorite movies ever 3y
Deblovestoread I so wanted to watch this year but my daughter was a hard no. She said she had to watch it too many times as a youngster. What can I say? I like what I like. 😂 3y

Since #7Rings uses the tune of A Few of My Favorite Things, I had to post books related to The Sound of Music. The tagged book is behind the scenes of the movie, and the other two are written by Julie Andrews. She's quite the accomplished children's book author. #AMonthofSongs

OriginalCyn620 I do love Julie Andrews! 5y
rretzler Many years ago, when it was first published, I read what I think was her first children‘s book. It was wonderful, by I haven‘t read anything else she wrote. 5y
MallenNC @rretzler I haven't read her children's books and I was amazed at how many she's written! I'm glad to hear her first one was good. 5y
MallenNC @OriginalCyn620 I love The Sound of Music. It is one of my favorite classic movies. 5y
BooknerdsLife Aww thank you for this post! I love her but have no idea she has written those books! 😍😍 5y

I rented the sound of music and as soon as Julie Andrews started singing I started crying. I miss my grandma. This period is killing me 😭🙃

blithebuoyant @C.Perone we watched it all the time together when I was young. I didn‘t know there was a half hour left of the running from the nazis until I was 18 because my grandma always turned it off after the wedding 😂 6y
TheBookgeekFrau 😂Oh, that‘s funny!! And such a great story & memory 😊 6y
blithebuoyant @C.Perone She was afraid I‘d be scared of the nazis and my extra-German grandfather 😂😂😂 6y
