You already know I'm a huge fan of MOPS, and, writing definitely sustains me through the ups and downs of motherhood. One thing you didn't know is that I'm also a huge fan of old movies. Give me a good song and dance number from the 50s or 60s any day of the week! My husband has always found that part of my personality strange, but it comes from peaceful times spent with older relatives watching movies like Easter Parade or Singin' in the Rain when I was younger. <br /><br />Here's hoping your writing journey is going well!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534168611594105953.post-81146952214447489712012-10-11T14:20:41.191-05:002012-10-11T14:20:41.191-05:00Gwen - what an incredible experience!

A friend and I were once denied entry into Shenzhen China because we were traveling with diplomatic passports and the border agent wasn't sure that we weren't spies. P.S. - I like old movies too. "Bringing Up Baby" is my favorite. :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11657583544798915346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534168611594105953.post-28407603382624674242012-10-10T21:44:42.592-05:002012-10-10T21:44:42.592-05:00Johanna - thank you!

But, I'm so excited to have you coming soon - and hope with all your might, Lindsay, because God's plans for you are good! :)<br /><br />Cynthia - I love Robert Young and the Enchanted Cottage is such a great movie! I wish I would have known you were an old movie fan when we met at ACFW - we could have talked oldies for hours, I bet! I'm so happy you like your pin and you're getting good use out of it! They are so much fun, aren't they?<br /><br />Becky - thank you so much. Your words mean a great deal to me - and they resonate with my old-fashioned heart. Faithfulness and goodness, and all the Fruit of the Spirit, are vital in our Christian walk and I work at letting the Holy Spirit cultivate my heart soil so that the Fruit can grow to maturity and in abundance and then I can plant those same seeds into the hearts and minds of my children and all who I interact with. I'm touched that it's evident.<br />Gabrielle Meyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12479898337766911768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534168611594105953.post-48209802893273416332012-10-10T12:33:11.352-05:002012-10-10T12:33:11.352-05:00Gabrielle,

Good for you for sticking with it so faithfully - but then, from your 25, it looks like you're that kind of girl. Sometimes I wonder if faithfulness is being disregarded in this century... but I when I read posts like yours, it resonates with me, and I know that it's people like you who will keep faithfulness something rich and beautiful, no matter what century we're in.<br /><br />Lovely.Becky Doughtyhttp://www.beckydoughty.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534168611594105953.post-52125161433738880952012-10-10T11:10:55.983-05:002012-10-10T11:10:55.983-05:00Loved this!!

My backyard is a work in progress (my hubby is a landscape designer), but one day it will be perfect - or maybe not.

You should start again - I'd love to learn more about you, too.<br /><br />Michelle - I love that we have so much in common - especially all the good things. :) That's too funny about your socks to bed - I almost always wear a sweatshirt and lots and lots of layers to bed - that's how I'm most comfy. :)<br /><br />Ruth - I can't wait to read your post!! Born in a car? Now that's a hook line that I need to know more about. :)<br /><br />Keli - I will mail one out to you tomorrow! I'll find one that will compliment your lovely array of purple clothing. :) Please message me with your address - you've sent me so many wonderful things these past few months, it would be a treat for me to send you something!!<br /><br />Cat - oh, a Zumba fan! Isn't it fun? Thanks for stopping by today.<br /><br />Julie - I can't wait to check those out! Random facts are the most interesting. :)<br /><br />Melissa - I've always been a wildly hopeful person. :) Old movies are the best! After we find a Chuck E. Cheese in Minneapolis and play skeeball, we'll have to rent an old movie! :)<br /><br />Donna - I think the smooth, calm voices and the relaxed atmosphere is what I love most about golf on television - plus, my hubby loves to watch it, so we're both happy!<br /><br />Jessica - thanks! I wish we lived closer...that's the biggest bummer about having online friends, isn't it? :) Too bad we can't get together and watch old movies. And golf on television is the best - I don't care what you and Donna say. :)Gabrielle Meyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12479898337766911768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534168611594105953.post-8193868851101527632012-10-10T09:37:24.629-05:002012-10-10T09:37:24.629-05:00THAT is your back yard view??

On October 19th, my hubby and I will have been together for 26 years!! He had just turned 15 two days before, and I was still a couple months away from turning 15. We've been married for 19 of those 26 years! And I love him more every day!!<br /><br />I LOVE old movies, too!! I adore Gene Kelly and Judy Garland -- as well as Frank Sinatra!! Do you love For Me & My Gal as much as I do? :::the bells are ringing, for me and my gal. The birds are singing for me and my gal.::: Oh, and don't get me started on "Singing in the Rain." LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! :D<br /><br />I've been listening to Frank Sinatra and Judy Garland for a few years now, and just a few weeks ago, I started listening to Nat King Cole. When I was reading the beginning of A Love Surrendered by Julie Lessman, I came across the mention of the song "Stardust." I googled it, and came across Nat's version of the song, and I fell in love! I've since bought 2 of his CD collections from iTunes, and I can't stop listening. :D<br /><br />And your #22 -- that's ME! Definitely an old fashioned girl at heart. My oldest daughter, who's 15, likes to say I have a "grandma lifestyle." Sheesh!! I guess it might seem that way to a 15 year old, lol. ;-)<br /><br />And of course, I love historical fiction as well!<br /><br />One weird, random thing about me is that I must wear socks to bed. Even in the summer. Yes. I. Am. Weird. LOL!<br /><br />Again, great post Gabrielle! Like I said, it's so wonderful to get to know you better. : )Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06111576612128164411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534168611594105953.post-83790214449650155692012-10-09T23:19:32.714-05:002012-10-09T23:19:32.714-05:00What a great post.
