I Remember Mama


What a sweet, lovely movie. I will have to Google this, as I bet is is autobiographcial of the daugther who narrated and said in the movie she wanted to be a writer. Reminds me of Jo in Little Women.

The movie was made in 1948 but is period set in San Francisco in the 1910-1920 period (I think). There are horses but a few cars. :-)

It is the story of Norweigan immigrants. Wonderful family. Hard working and NOT perfect. I loved the Uncle Chris character.

Oh, and Barbara Bel Geddes played the narrating dd Catherine... I kept seeing shades of the later Miss Ellie of Dallas fame!

Hope you enjoy!I Remember Mama

We are all on a journey, and this blog's reason for existence is to be a place to put mine. From humble suburbian begnnings just north of Dallas to a Catholic unschooler with a passion for faith, lifelong learning, my family and dogs, here I stand before you. Welcome to my world!
Authenticity. That would have to be my theme at present. To enjoy my family, be true to ourselves and our faith and be authentic and enthusiastic about life!

I love Dog Day Afternoons...
"What children need is not new and better curricula but access to more and more of the real world; plenty of time and space to think over their experiences, and to use fantasy and play to make meaning out of them; and advice, road maps, guidebooks, to make it easier for them to get where they want to go (not where we think they ought to go), and to find out what they want to find out."
