I never knew that she revisited that story to play the mother.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612255949290013608.post-1095434604894590852016-08-11T20:09:20.485-04:002016-08-11T20:09:20.485-04:00Karen,
As always, your posts are nourishment for ...Karen,<br /><br />As always, your posts are nourishment for my soul. As we are beginning our new term next week, we find our first daughter beginning her senior year. The years have passed too quickly. The Railway Children makes we want to start homeschooling all over again. There are so many books that we didn't get to enjoy. Isn't that the way of life? I hope, if the Lord wills, I will be able to share many of them with grandchildren. Until then, I am enjoying them for myself.<br /><br />Your doll quilt is beautiful. When my girls were young, I sat them on my lap at the sewing machine and we made doll quilts together. They are in their little cradles still. Happy memories. <br /><br />I hope this finds you well. I am hibernating indoors as the temperatures are above 100 degrees. I hope the weathermen are accurate in their predictions of 80's for next week. I still have many flowers blooming through the heat, although my lavender looks like I feel. I have neglected my nature journal because I haven't had the will power to venture out of doors, but I had a surprise of some lovely Prismacolor pencils in the mail this week from an anonymous sender, so I am inspired to begin again. The Lord sends little blessings just when we need them. I am keeping you and Nigel in my prayers.<br /><br />~DonnaDonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18402361635775270386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612255949290013608.post-6264971026174911902016-08-02T12:47:31.445-04:002016-08-02T12:47:31.445-04:00My children are very fond of Edith Nesbit's st...My children are very fond of Edith Nesbit's stories. Her 'Book of Dragons' has been worn to rags and we are on a second copy of 'Five Children and It'. The younger bunch have never read 'The Railway Children' and I know they would enjoy it, too. Thank you for the reminder. :-)Kristyn Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12596129414614469667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612255949290013608.post-39198519803125434722016-07-31T18:08:19.125-04:002016-07-31T18:08:19.125-04:00I have The Railway Children Movie.

But the acting in the movie was so well done, I would rather just enjoy it is as a movie. Thank you for your gentle writing.

I agree this book is so very good, and the DVD does an excellent job telling the story. As for the extras, hollyhocks and four square quilts are marvelous.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09710910366858293660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612255949290013608.post-2192468678176117292016-07-27T16:08:34.273-04:002016-07-27T16:08:34.273-04:00I never read the "Railway Children" but ...I never read the "Railway Children" but I have the book.

My one sister really enjoyed "The Railway Children" when she read it. Maybe I will have to read it now! Or at least watch the movie. : ) I always enjoyed watching the Mobile Masterpiece movies made for children. <br /><br />Your new quilt is lovely! Your hand quilting is so tiny and neat. The turquoise and pink calico are just stunning.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14970258840708111494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612255949290013608.post-47449875413746667352016-07-25T13:30:44.750-04:002016-07-25T13:30:44.750-04:00I will definitely check on the DVD as I like to ha...I will definitely check on the DVD as I like to have good movies at home.<br /><br />We are enjoying our new granddaughter, Piper Claire.

Every now and then we'd be "unable" to stop reading. When this happened at night, a quick break allowed for changing into jommies and grabbing pillows. Then, we'd read to the end. <br /><br />Out-loud reading muscles have to be exercised. Hot tea helps to soothe a tiring throat and gives the reader strength for the journey.<br /><br />I didn't discover The Railway Children until my own children were grown. Horray for great-nieces!<br /><br />SusanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612255949290013608.post-25888274426013995482016-07-24T21:00:25.455-04:002016-07-24T21:00:25.455-04:00Thanks for sharing, Karen.

One of my great delights in reading with my daughter is getting to read so much wonderful literature that I somehow missed in my own childhood. We watched the movie after we read the book, which was a real treat! We loved them both.<br /><br />Hope you summer is going well. Your quilt is beautiful! Nice, neat stitches.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Denise S.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612255949290013608.post-79378626327124848542016-07-24T17:09:52.688-04:002016-07-24T17:09:52.688-04:00We are all great fans of the book and movie from N...We are all great fans of the book and movie from Nesbit! It was a Christmas gift a few years ago. I love your kettle!!!! Hollyhock is one of my absolute FAVORITE flowers. I'm determined to grow some at our "new" to us home next summer. :) Many blessings to you, Karen! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11291951073853426272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612255949290013608.post-46256491138472701562016-07-24T17:07:42.530-04:002016-07-24T17:07:42.530-04:00I love the book The Railway Children, too, Karen. ...I love the book The Railway Children, too, Karen.
