The hills are still alive

This evening I got together with a few friends to watch/rediscover The Sound of Music, a film I saw probably hundreds of times as a child. (For a while we owned only three videos: TSoM, Mutiny on the Bounty, and Old Yeller. Romance, adventure, and tragedy really cover all the entertainment bases, right?) 

I made my first-ever apple strudel in honor of the occasion, and I do believe it turned out nicely:


Our timing was perfect, since the real-life Liesl, Agathe von Trapp, died only a few weeks ago at the age of 97. Here's to a legacy of gazebo dances, hiking over the Alps in light outerwear, and big musical finishes.

    For awhile my family only owned The Sound of Music, Mary Poppins and (go figure) Puff the Magic Dragon... LOVE TSoM.
