Easter with Mary
Gads, I can’t remember the last time I saw Mary Poppins. I do remember the first time – I was eight years old and my whole family went to the drive-in movie. I remember in particular Dick van Dyke’s penguin dance and the bird woman scene. ABC Family is playing it now, and while I ought to be studying, I’m watching it instead while I finish my now cold morning coffee.
The penguin scene is just starting. I’d quite forgotten the penguins sang; I just remember the dance. Guess there won’t be an entry this morning after all.
Must log off and watch … Happy Holiday everyone.
Just a spoonful of sugar…
My kids used to have a record of the music from that movie.
I know ALL the words to the songs..
🙂
I didn’t see that one till I was an adult. I was pretty familiar with some of the songs, though.
We had a chimney sweep inspect our chimney shortly after we moved into the house. He didn’t look anything like Dick Van Dyke, though. I cannot get the vision of his plumber’s crack out of my mind, either.
My friend Blythe Spirit down in Houston hired one once who, whenever he visits a house with a child, dresses up like a London chimney sweep and fakes the accent. BS’s son loved it.
i watched the Wizard of Oz yesterday! such beautiful colors!!!! and the lyrics to each song the scarecrow, tinman, and lion sings are brilliant!
ps. happy holiday and enjoy the movie…the penguins rock!
I love watching those old movies that I haven’t seen in decades. It’s funny how many little barely off-color jokes there are in them that we just didn’t see as kids.
Happy Easter!
I have always ThoughT of The roof scene, The penguin scene, and love DVD in ThaT movie. I love The movie alTogeTher acTually.
