Raindrops on Roses…

Normally, I don’t give one named answers to these sort of inquiries, as I am not one to swoon over any particular artist verses another… I simply don’t think on it all that much.

However… if I were given no choice but to answer, well then, I choose Julie Andrews hands down!

I could give you a full list of all that the woman has accomplished, but I don’t intend to do so, because it would take me all day to look them all up and give you a rundown of each one . I will stick to my favorite of all favorites… The Sound of Music!

I’ll begin by saying that she made it look easy to raise that many kids at once, like she did in this movie. Maria could sing, she could dance, sew, tell bedtime stories, give young love advice, and hike! She was a trailblazer over those alps. A woman after my own heart!

When Julie Andrews sings, we can honestly say it seems like she is telling a story… like we do when we write. I raised my girls singing about raindrops on roses, and whiskers on kittens…

Julie brought Maria Von Trapp alive for millions of people, and I personally think this ability is what makes an Artist really great! I’ll bet she had you wanting to dance across that mountain field like she did, with a guitar in your hand. I know that I did!

I will tell you right now, it was that movie that gave me the idea to make my kids own clothes, so I taught myself how to sew and created my own design for the kids pajamas, rice filled teddy bears for colds and flus, and even a pull over fleece dog jacket for our furry family members. I suppose she gave me some creative inspiration.

Anyway, Julie Andrews is my pick for a fav, but let this not reflect poorly on any other artist out there… aren’t we all artists of one make or another?

Have a cup of tea… I am nervous over my eye appointment this morning so I am not hungry… besides, I don’t know about all you but all the sweets lately are making my teeth hurt, so for today it is simply tea. I have an assortment of flavors for you to pick from, so take your time and find your favorite flavor… mine is peppermint.

  6. Wiwo: You’re a tea lover, eh? There is nothing more ‘artistic’ than a steaming cup of Earl Grey on a rainy day, outside the window, of course. You are welcome to journey with us (me&hubby&Mocha, the Saint Bernard. Pix on our WP travel blog. Cheers.

  8. You just made me feel nostalgic!

    The sound of music is a classic that will still inspire millions for years to come.

    Made decades before they were born, my kids love the movie and I am sure theirs would too.

    Thank you for the memories.

  9. My first exposure to Julie Andrews was her record. She certainly could sing. Then, of course, The Carol Burnett Show. She could act too! I didn’t see The Sound of Music until I was a teenager, but I did enjoy it.

    1. don’t get me started on Carol Burnett… I love that woman.. and Tim Conway, Harvey Coreman, and Vicki Lawrence… hilarious memories… my fav was the Scarlet Gone with the Wind skit… They could barely do it without laughing as hard as the audience…

  12. I absolutely love her. She is such an inspiration on and off the screen. I have read both her biographies that she has written. If you have not read them, I highly recommend them as a fellow fan. I listened to audio version of one of them. She narrates it, and it felt like I was just sitting and listening to her tell me stories, like an old friend.
