However lots of music can be heard in this house.<br />As for the Sound of Music, we do like the Trapps very much, the real ones, and we still have two LPs of them that we play once in a while and the «real» book by the Baroness written a long time ago. <br />Hollywood did change the story and some of the children were rather unhappy about it since they liked Franz very much and he was made out, in the film, to be a traitor that he was not. The telegraph employee boy friend never was either...but it made for more tension and was good at the box office.potsochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09497735324298117643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7699772873889750632.post-56861443058511855172012-02-25T10:02:00.424-05:002012-02-25T10:02:00.424-05:00therese's green thumb is magnifique!

And he thinks that he may have some life left in him too.<br /><br />"Buttons" you say. :) I would have said "buds." Is "boutons," then, in French, both button and bud? That's good.jennyhttp://www.sweatandsprezzatura.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
