I knew it was going to be disturbing, and they did an excellent job of disturbing me, but it was art and philosophy and human interaction and all the stuff I love, and the music was good, and the scenes of the pre-WWII England were fantastic, and all o'that.Sandra Doddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11853107998229753762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12510183.post-25558764891173447282008-02-03T11:32:00.000-07:002008-02-03T11:32:00.000-07:00http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-hyl4g088bqoucMCa.Bn...<A HREF="http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-hyl4g088bqoucMCa.Bn_Rchv?p=964" REL="nofollow">http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-hyl4g088bqoucMCa.Bn_Rchv?p=964</A><BR/><BR/>There it is!Sandra Doddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11853107998229753762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12510183.post-85036699917274767162008-02-03T10:55:00.000-07:002008-02-03T10:55:00.000-07:00Melissa says:I'm a wood hoarder.

It was so satisfying (although hard work and time consuming) to cut it all into firewood lengths and get it stacks in our wood pile. <BR/><BR/>Our picture is here<BR/>http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-hyl4g088bqoucMCa.Bn_Rchv?p=964<BR/>Took two weeks and seven kids to get there. ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12510183.post-37884302262082485402008-02-02T15:27:00.000-07:002008-02-02T15:27:00.000-07:00Oh stacking wood...my Dad lived in Northern Califo...Oh stacking wood...my Dad lived in Northern California for years and years (ever heard of Cool, CA?) and we went into the mountains to buy wood from someone selling it. Had to load an entire truck bed full of wood. I was dying by the time we were done!

Their spare comments added to the film experience for me, and I would have loved to have de-briefed it with them afterwards.<BR/><BR/>We had a wood stove when I was a kid during the "energy crisis" and stacking wood was so physical and satisfying, especially when it was really cold out.<BR/><BR/>No tumbleweeds ever rolled by, though!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12510183.post-26120319573489709462008-02-02T08:39:00.000-07:002008-02-02T08:39:00.000-07:00I would have liked to have helped stack with you a...I would have liked to have helped stack with you and to have seen a tumbleweed. I missed the NM conference and have never seen a tumbleweed IRL. <BR/><BR/>It's wonderful that you got the added period details form those ladies and that you appreciated it. I love talking to older women (70 and up). I have a friend whom I've known for years who is 103. She has taught me so much about enjoying life.Madeline Rainshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05075400838213199585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12510183.post-21945656889018892072008-02-02T07:32:00.000-07:002008-02-02T07:32:00.000-07:00I like your little wonderful things :) I love th...I like your little wonderful things :) I love the smell of wood burning.<BR/><BR/>Did you like the movie?kellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00140450548487566657noreply@blogger.com
