Everytime I hear the opening song to the Sound of Music, my eyes well up with tears. Every time. It doesn't matter how many times I watch it. Always the same. But now? When I watch the movie? It happens a bit before that. Before that scene, the camera brings us on a visual tour of the Austrian Alps. The beauty is stunning. But now I look at those scenes with new eyes.
Bethany stood on that ground. Her eyes saw those sights. She did NOT sing, although I may have been moved to but the point is moot since it was HER and not me taking a side trip to Salzburg, Austria from her whirlwind 9 day Germany trip.
This exact view is seen in the opening of the movie:

And here it is, made even better for me:

That movie holds a lot of history for me.
It was the first adult movie that I saw on the big screen. My favorite Aunt and Uncle brought me to the drive in to see the movie and I loved it from the first scene. Over the years, it still brings me a warm feeling. More so, now!
We're still unpacking and hearing story after story, trying to soak it all in!

That hair poll was fun! (luckily my hair looks alive again because the humidity is gone for now! It will be back though, it's like a bad penny!) Who knew that I should have added a FRIZZ and DROOP option? I have learned some hair facts, I tell ya!
Frizz was the BIG winner with 130 votes.
Droop was a flop with 95 votes.
and
21 people are lucky and deserve some scorn because they have perfect hair that behaves itself no matter the weather! Imagine??
