Are you grateful today??
Yesterday we were at the beach, and as we were packing up, a family was walking across the beach with their stuff. A girl(I'm assuming their daughter) was using crutches, had a brace on, and was bald and looked an unhealthy skinny. I suddenly said a prayer, thanking God for the healthy life he has given me. And also felt amazed that this girl would go beyond her health condition to have a day at the beach with her family. So this day are you grateful for the healthy body God has given you? Keep in mind that their are kids, and people who are suffering everyday from disease and yet try to live life to the fullest. Remember to say a prayer for them today in the midst of your life.
For all of you ladies that commented THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!! I figured out that I have to check the comments before putting them out. I thought something was wrong and I am a bit new at the whole blogging thing! So sorry everybody, I was being a Fuddy Duddy! We love getting comments, now that I know the problem is on my end!
Well here is the post that's been taking me(Sapphire) quite a time! On Moonlight Bay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you have never seen this adorable, sweet, movie it is a must!!!!!!!
It starts as the Winfield family moves into a different neighborhood. Doris is this tomboy, rough and tough.
The first day in the new neighborhood, starts with her in a game of baseball. Though a girl she shows those boy's good!
Her brother and a new friend are in the barn, trying to shoot off an antique Jessie James gun. Doris seeing them, runs, grabs it away, and as she shoots it off, Gordon McRae is right in front of the door. Seeing them, he gets angry and as the other boy's escape, he starts off by meeting Marjorie by three good swats on the bottom.( Mind you he doesn't realize it is a girl till the 3 swat)
That night he comes to call and take her out.
Don't they look absolutely sweet together!!!!!!!!
They go dancing(though Doris doesn't know much about dancing), and play games.
As Marjorie asks Bill inside for some buttermilk, he tells her that he doesn't believe in marriage. During the black out with the power, they have their first kiss.
After that night, they see each other more, but soon Bill has to go off to collage.
Marjorie writes him letters and looks forward to him coming home for a dance.
While Bill is away Marjorie learns to dance. A clip about this part is below.
Well...... This was the only picture I could find with Hubert in it(the weird guy in the back of the bike) Also while Bill was away, this guy sees Marjorie. Nothing comes of it so don't worry.
So after the snowball fight Marjorie has with the boys, she breaks her leg.
She calls William(Bill) and tells him not to come to the dance. Well throughout this movie and the sequel, Wesley (Doris brother) tells a tall-tale to his teacher about his Dad(based off of a movie he saw). He says that his father has taken to beating the family and that is how Marjorie broke her leg. Well Bill comes to town in hoping to surprise Marjorie, and bumps into Wesley's teacher. After hearing what has happened he comes storming into their house and falsely accuses Mr. Winfield of being a drunk. All is forgiven, and the years go by and Bill is graduated. The day of graduation, Marjorie tells her Father (during the ceremony) that Bill doesn't believe in marriage. So Mr. Winfield drags the family out of the ceremony, and to their surprise, half of the class is going to war, including Bill!!!!!
On Wesley's birthday, as you can tell from Doris face that she is unhappy with the parting she and Bill had.
Surprisingly, Bill shows up on Wesley's birthday. Marjorie is fully convinced to go with him to Europe. But Bill being sensible, says that life in the army is no place for a woman.
So Marjorie walks him to the gate and says goodbye. Mrs. Winfield is frustrated at her husband's response to her daughter's lover. Anyway(I am trying NOT!!! to give anything away) something happens which makes Mr. Winfield have a change of heart. Calling over to the Sherman's house(Bill) he makes amends, and Marjorie and Bill have a happy farewell.
So here they are for the ending of this film as Bill goes off to war. Our whole family LOVES this movie. The chemistry between Doris and Gordon is so special. They make such a cute couple!!!! So here is another have-to-see-movie, it is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good. And yet so innocent compared to all of the movies that come out nowadays.
Here are a few clips from the movie I thought you all would enjoy.
This was the only( On Moonlight Bay I could find with Doris Day) There is other scenes entangled in this movie but I didn't want to give it away( especially to those who haven't seen it yet) I hope you have enjoyed this post!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know that summer is here when our Mom's roses are in bloom. One evening I went outside to capture their beauty. Hope that you will enjoy looking at their beautiful color!
Sorry about "not" updating, I have been having some trouble uploading a video that I want to put out! Stay tuned: Sapphire
School is over for the summer, for both school kids and homeschoolers! We do school through the summer, mainly reading and writing. Though we are looking forward to, swimming, socializing, and enjoying God's creation as well! What are you doing this summer?????
We watched this awesome movie, it is such a classic! For Gene Kelly's first movie,it was phenomenal!
Gene and Judy were so great together in this film. It is about Judy and Gene who are both vaudevillians.....
Gene wants Judy as a partner for an act he wants to try, reluctant as Judy is they end up getting together....
They work their way up until they are about to play at the palace when Gene gets his draft notice as WW1 springs up. Gene(not wanting to go) smashes his hand in his trunk, hoping not to go. Judy's brother(who entered the war) dies and she feels her duty to serve. Getting angry at Gene, they split! Soon after in Paris, they meet up. Gene talks to Judy(very touching part) and leaves saying that his one victory was that she was once his girl.
In the end, Judy(as WW1 sweet heart) sings at the Palace, whereas Gene is there watching. She points during her song at him, and runs into his arms. After which, the orchestra plays the theme song. And Gene and Judy together sing on stage in eachother's arms. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh
The front cover. This is a totally classic Gene Kelly and Judy Garland movie. The ending is so touching that it will make you want to cry( I have).
We had a girl's afternoon with our Mom, and our first stop was Joann's fabric store. Our little sister Goosie girl enjoyed looking through the idea books.
Oh No!!!!! Don't get girl's into a craft store! Pirate-rock stars Hair Stylist and Tapper being silly(ha ha).
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh. Little Goosie girl joined in the fun as Jessie the cowgirl!
Afterward we went to lunch at a deli. We ordered 2 different types of sandwiches, Italian Sub, and Sand Dunes(which is the sandwich shown here. It had avocado, Swiss cheese, and some kind of meat).
YEAH!!!!!! Coca Cola, what gets better than that.
Hair Stylist and I before the freezer where we picked out our pop. It was a nice day even though it was cloudy.
