Sound of Music Sing Along

I missed the various sing along showings back in the day, so I jumped at the chance to attend this round.

Here’s my gift bag. You can see the invite to the Captain’s Ball, the curtains, some edelweiss, and cards to hold up while singing “How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?”

The opposite side of the question mark and Maria cards were the will-o’-the-wisp and the flibbertigibbet, of course.

Our host gave us our cues for yelling things out, and there was much lusty singing, which was fun.

Overall, a good time at the movies.

Postcards from Ariel

Bunheads episode 15. Ariel, like me, loved the dancing in this episode, but not much else. She reports that on Bunhead Bros she enjoyed learning about the origin of the quote “Everything is beautiful at the ballet.”

Bunheads Episode 16: Ariel reports that she wanted to like this episode more than she did. We both appreciated Ginny (because she’s the best bunhead). And we both loved Bunhead Bros because we love Jason Mantzoukas’s enthusiasm.

The Leighwood House Highlights

Does your house have a stumpary? The Leighwood House does.

I love this open plan with the exposed beams and built-ins that help to define where the kitchen is. When it rains, you can hear the rain on the roof.

An old-fashioned plug

The never-remodeled kitchen. (Sara and Shawn are only the second owners.) It’s a good kitchen layout. Not too big, not too small.

A built-in spot for a clock, or maybe originally for a phone?

And the two friends that hang out there, Callie and Leo.
