Julie, Julia and a bushel and a peck.....

Today after school, Gi and I watched "Julie & Julia".....oh, how we enjoyed this film! Gi has always loved to watch cooking on tv. I had no idea that Julie started a blog (which is something I love....although I've been bad about doing it lately, well,......in a long time....) I am so very much like Julie.....Julie Powell made comments throughout the movie that she never completed things....she needed small deadlines......not good at housekeeping....felt like she was "ADD" with said things above. I can relate.

Meryl Streep has to be my very favorite actress. My favorite actors are Jimmy Stewart and Tom Hanks. She is incredible & I always want to see her in any movie is appears in.......

In the film, the score/music is wonderful too....."A Bushel & a Peck" from Guys & Dolls is included toward the end. I have it in my head now, but that's a good thing! (you get to see it below):) After the movie, I asked Gracie to write and/or draw a photo to put in her "extras composition book". Below is what she drew. She said she wanted it black and white, it would look best that way.....I like what she wrote: cooking is important for people. I'm glad she got that out of the movie, cause it really is so very true.

Check out her cursive "Julie and Julia".....I love it!

I love you, a bushel and a peck!

A bushel and a peck, and a hug around the neck!

A hug around the neck, and a barrel and a heap

A barrel and a heap, and I'm talkin' in my sleep.

About you. About you! About you! My heart is leapin'! I'm having trouble sleepin'!

'Cause I love you,

a bushel and a peck You bet your pretty neck I do!

Doodle, oodle, oodle. Doodle, oodle, oodle. Doodle oodle oodle oo.

I love you, a bushel and a peck A bushel and a peck, go and beats me all to heck!

Beats me all to heck how I'll ever tend the farm

Ever tend the farm when I want to keep my Arms - about you

- About you! About you!

The cows and chickens are goin' to the dickens!

'Cause I love you a bushel and a peck

You bet your pretty neck I do

- Doodle oodle oodle Doodle oodle oodle Doodle oodle oodle, oo!

Good-bye now!

*****Netflix can get their copy back of Julie & Julia, but you know that it is a "keeper" in the Bryan girls' library!*****
