Wildflowers...
I remember the summer I picked everything,
flower and wildflower, singled them out in jars
with a name attached. And when they had dried as stubborn
as paper I put them on pages and named them again.
They were all lilies, even the hyacinth,

You're Gonna Make it After All
Am I weird? Sometimes a tv show theme song can actually make me cry. It happens with movies all the time. When I went to see first of the new Star Wars trilogy, The Phantom Menace, I cried while the opening played. Of course, by the end of the movie I was pretty pissed at George Lucas, but that's another story.
I guess I'm overly sentimental about my childhood, but I'm not sure why. I certainly didn't have that Brady Bunch upbringing. Maybe I'm sentimental about what I wish my childhood was or maybe lines like, "you're gonna make it after all" are just so hopeful they can't help but bring me to tears.
I was too young to watch a lot of these when they were new, like Mary Tyler Moore and The Brady Bunch, but I watched a LOT of tv as a kid and the late 70s and early 80s were rerun heaven.
Some theme songs are unbelievably awful. I'm talking about (click at our own risk) The Love Boat, Eight is Enough, Alice, The Greatest American Hero , Three's Company, WKRP in Cincinnati, Family Ties to name a few.
The Waltons theme song was okay, but it really has little effect on me since I was a Little House on the Prairie girl and never watched The Waltons. Maybe because I watched about every episode of The Jeffersons, Taxi, Good Times (who's theme is awesome, by the way) and Sanford and Son they just don't have much of an emotional effect on me now. Wonder Woman, The Muppet Show and the first season of Happy Days are some of my favorite openings, but these below are the tearjerkers.
Do you have a favorite/least favorite television theme song?
Mary Tyler Moore

Friday Favorites
Summer is almost here and it feels so good to open the windows and let the fresh air in! This summer my plan is to bring more flowers into my space, preferably purple, but as you will see below, maybe some red, too. I'm also looking forward to lazy days and summer drinks.
This summer I want to use some Old Fashioned Striped Straws which are perfect for those summer drinks.
I usually steer clear of Red flowers for my own home and garden, but not anymore after seeing these photos by Little Brown Pen.
What's more perfect than a simple, classic outfit like this or this (natalie portman channeling audrey hepburn) and how sweet is this look?
I still have my eye on this Charlie Chaplin tshirt on Etsy.
These Dottie Angel tea towels are as light and happy as a summer breeze.
Tomatoes are my favorite fruit and I love buying them fresh and organic from the farmers market. This summer I am going to make a soy-free vegan Caprese Salad which uses a cashew cheese instead of mozzarella or tofu.
What are your favorites for summer?
