Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

 My favorite animated movie......... 

 

 

Snow White premiered at the Carthay Circle Theatre on December 21, 1937, followed by a nationwide release on February 4, 1938, and with international earnings of $8 million during its initial release briefly assumed the record of highest grossing sound film at the time.  The popularity of the film has led to it being re-released theatrically many times, until its home video release in the 1990s.  Adjusted for inflation, it is one of the top ten performers at the North American box office.

At the 11th Academy Awards, Walt Disney was awarded an honorary Oscar, and the film was nominated for Best Musical Score.  It was added to the United States National Film Registry in 1989  and is ranked in the American Film Institute's list of the 100 greatest American films, who also named the film as the greatest American animated film of all time in 2008.

 

I'm sure you really wanted to know this!!! 

I just felt the need to share...I'm in a Disney kind of mood today!!

 

Snapshot

Remember this post?  Well, Saturday I bought myself some Black Eyed Susans.  They're going to get planted tomorrow - 'cause it's my day off.  I got a great price on two big pots of them at a flea market last Saturday.  I can't wait to get them in the ground!  Here's a snapshot of one bloom that snapped off the plant during the ride home.  It's such a happy flower!!

Anyone else a fan of the movie "The Quiet Man"? 

It's one of my very favorite movies.

I think this quote from the movie is appropriate for this post!

Will Danaher: Mind you, I'm fresh as a daisy!

Sean Thornton: You look more like a black-eyed Susan to me.

Wax On, Wax Off

Aunt Mandy loves to teach her nieces and nephews "Only the best things..." and recently she gave Penelope a lesson on cleaning the table.  Here's Penelope learning the proper way to clean the table after dinner.  She has a wet cloth in one hand and a dry one in the other. She wipes and wipes with the wet one and then rubs and rubs with the dry...until the table is shiny bright!

Now Mandy can't teach them anything without teaching them the best thing to say while doing whatever it is she taught them to do.  In this case it was "Wax On" with the wet cloth and "Wax Off" with the dry one!  You totally see where this is going now...don't you!?

Penelope was brilliant!  "Wax On...Wax Off" she said over and over and over.......

Soon she'll be ready for some karate lessons. Don't ya think!?
