YouTube for Old-Fashioned Girls

Posted in Movies

I am an old-fashioned girl at heart.   When I was a teenager, I was convinced that I had been born a century or two too late.  My favorite books were L.M. Montgomery's novels, Jane Austen's works, and the books by the Bronte sisters.  When I read them, I felt that I was living in that era,  a time of grace, gentility, and beauty.  Certainly, I romanticized these time-periods in my mind--the reality was different, I am sure.  Any yet, there is something about those old-fashioned days, and the way of life of the people that lived in them, that has always intrigued me.  So, when I discovered a link to a YouTube video entitled A Tribute to Old-Fashioned Girls, I was delighted.  It is a lovely little video, filled with moments from some of my most favorite movies, and with a lovely musical score.  Even with dial-up, it's worth the download time to watch this short video.  If you're an old-fashioned girl like me, you'll be delighted too!

My daughter's post today is similar in content! (Our children have private blogs that they use to write about books they've read, etc and so on. This way, their Dad can check in on them from Kuwait!) Anyway, Anna recommends "An Old Fashioned Girl" by Louisa May Alcott!
