Do you have a favorite fairy-tale? If so: what is it and why?
"The Twelve Dancing Princess" has been a favorite ever since I was little. There was just something about their shoes, gowns, and the that they danced all night; there was just something magical about it that I wanted to be a part of.

What are your thoughts on coffee? Tea?
Because of my (very) restricted diet, I cannot enjoy one of my favorite drinks: a decaf frozen mocha latte` with extra whipped cream...*sighs*. However, I've always enjoyed tea. It has become one of my small pleasures in life. There is just something about it that warms my soul.
I've seen quite a lot of movies during my lifetime but not one this past year that I've watched multiple times. However, Miss Potter is one that my sister got for her birthday and it's been on my favorite list ever since then.
What was/is your favorite children’s picture book?
Though they are not really "picture books", I absolutely adore the Little House on the Prairie books. My Mama read them to us all the time!
If you were given the opportunity, would you rather travel to Hawaii or Australia? Why?
I'm not really a beach person and both of these are islands...
I really like the accent of the Asuies, but I do not like all the bugs, snakes, and creepy crawlers that Australia contains. I think in the end I would go to Hawaii only because it's closer. I know, that might sound fearful, but it's what I'd want. Plus, I'd love to see the places where they filmed "Lost". Oh, and I LOVE pineapple! So there. There are my reasons for picking Hawaii! Ha!

What is a particular, specific way God has blessed you in the last week?
Rest! He has blessed with sleeping in a few days to catch up on my..well..sleeping. With this time change it has been reeking havoc on my body - and this years seems worse than last year.

I enjoyed your answers, Sarah! And yay for pineapple! ;-) That is a gorgeous sunset picture. :-) Miss Potter is one of those "stick-with-you" movies, isn't it? It's so sweet and soooo sad... I guess bitter-sweet would about sum it up, because it does end happily. Also, I was smiling about the rivers and streams part - as I just came in from standing down by our creek watching the sun catching on the water. :-)
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you enjoyed my answers, for I enjoyed putting them onto "paper". ;-) Isn't that picture pretty? I found it on Google. I think one can find anything on Google! :-p
DeleteMiss Potter is such a sweet film! And yes, it is bitter-sweet; but I think it's that way because it tells the story of a real-life person, and sometimes real-life doesn't always turn out the way we want it to.
I do love to see the sun shining on the water...*happy sighs*.
:-)
I quite agree about Miss Potter... And for some reason, bitter-sweet stories often seem to have greater sticking power because they're bitter-sweet. Not always, but sometimes it seems to make them "larger than life", in essence...or maybe it's just because they're showing the tougher side of life. I don't know. :-)
DeleteVery true. With Miss Potter's story I am reminded of a quote from the movie Ever After:
ReplyDelete"And though Cinderella and her prince did lived happily ever after....the point is, gentlemen, they lived."
And they did really live. They were real.
