It isn't actually a movie...but it sure is wonderful, We have sat and watched it two or three times....our Lorelei loves it, too.<br /><br />Your quilt blocks are beautiful....I had to laugh at the comment about buying no more fabric till you have used up what you have...though in all honesty, good luck in achieving that. I have a HUGE stash...still working on crumbs. Have you seen my quilts at my Pics & Pieces blog--I have a page set up just for them. <br /><br />Anyway, enjoyed reading your random 5.... <br /><br />Have a Happy Thanksgiving!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08015780995837712115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915998197494794177.post-22626759911746391362013-11-25T18:16:38.462-08:002013-11-25T18:16:38.462-08:00Thank you Latane.

Thanks for sharing that sweet story of the little girl with the eggs. How cute. I grew up on an Illinois farm; my mother raised chickens and sold their eggs to a local grocer. I was pretty small when she sent me out to collect the eggs one morning. The hens were mean and pecked at me, so I wouldn't go near the ones that were on the nests. Not a very good egg gatherer, I'm afraid. :) I think I would do a better job now.

I really ...I remember that movie, it was so good! <br /><br />I really hope you can get a place where you can have a few hens. A few months ago a young couple down the street started selling their eggs and milk. We not only enjoy the eggs we pick up there every week, we've grown to admire this young mother so much. She works 4 days a week in an office, gets up every morning early to milk, etc., and is teaching her 2 little kids to help her with the chores. The littlest one, a girl of 4, was picking up eggs where a few hens had gotten lose from the pen. She had them tucked into her tee shirt turned up when my husband asked her how many eggs she had. The darling little sprite looked at him and said, "I don't know. I don't know how to count." She was about 3 years old.

After being a widow for 3 1/2 years, I'm very much aware of how precious every day is, and I take nothing for granted. I've been extremely blessed to have been married for 36 happy years, and now married again and very happy. My cup overflows. :)Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12854211710203164265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915998197494794177.post-65485481845798764812013-11-23T09:57:24.704-08:002013-11-23T09:57:24.704-08:00We like wholesome movies with messages of hope.

I love the little things you share about your husband...how he wants your quilt in the living room, cutting the rose branch for you, the walks, movie nights. It sounds as if you have such a lovely relationship...like smitten teenagers! :) How wonderful! I hope you have a lovely weekend Nancy!

I was in school, I believe in 1st grade but it could have been 2nd grade (I was 7) and I remember them telling the school kids over the loud speaker what had happened. They sent us all home. Those who could walk home were told to do so quickly and quietly to show reverence for what had happened.<br />I've not hear of that movie but I'll have to check it out. It sound like one my mom might enjoy.<br /><br />http://wishesdreamsandotherthings.blogspot.com/2013/11/random-5-friday_22.htmlIdahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14587867197850064349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915998197494794177.post-55514608085299040252013-11-22T13:45:44.052-08:002013-11-22T13:45:44.052-08:00Great random 5!
