Easter with Mary
Sun Apr 24 2011

Gads, I can't remember the last time I saw Mary Poppins. I do remember the first time - I was eight years old and my whole family went to the drive-in movie. I remember in particular Dick van Dyke's penguin dance and the bird woman scene. ABC Family is playing it now, and while I ought to be studying, I'm watching it instead while I finish my now cold morning coffee.

The penguin scene is just starting. I'd quite forgotten the penguins sang; I just remember the dance. Guess there won't be an entry this morning after all.
Must log off and watch ... Happy Holiday everyone.

    Just a spoonful of sugar...

    My kids used to have a record of the music from that movie.

    I know ALL the words to the songs..

    I didn't see that one till I was an adult. I was pretty familiar with some of the songs, though.

    We had a chimney sweep inspect our chimney shortly after we moved into the house. He didn't look anything like Dick Van Dyke, though. I cannot get the vision of his plumber's crack out of my mind, either.

    My friend Blythe Spirit down in Houston hired one once who, whenever he visits a house with a child, dresses up like a London chimney sweep and fakes the accent. BS's son loved it.

    I love watching those old movies that I haven't seen in decades. It's funny how many little barely off-color jokes there are in them that we just didn't see as kids.

    Happy Easter!
