In June, my sisters and I are going to be in a Broadway Musical review. We are all four singing two songs apiece. My solo song is "Waitin' for My Dearie", from Brigadoon. I was singing my song today, whilst enmeshed in harvesting sweet peas, and thinking of the glorious news a dear friend had just told me, and it came to me to share this song with you, in honor of the beginning of her adventure.
What is the news? What's the adventure? Maybe before you reach the end you will have figured it out.:)
"Waitin' for My Dearie"
Many a lassie, as everyone knows'll
Try to be married before twenty-five.
So she'll agree to most any proposal.
All he must be is a man and alive.
I hold a dream and there's no compromisin'.
I know there's one certain laddie for me.
One day he'll come, walking ore' the horizon
But, should he not, then an old maid I'll be
Foolish, ye may say
Foolish I will stay
Waitin' for my dearie
And happy am I
To hold my heart till he comes strollin' by
When he comes, my dearie
One look, and I'll know

That he's the dearie I've been wantin' so
Though I live forty lives till the day he arrives
I'll not ever, ever grieve
For my hopes will be high
That' he'll come, strollin' by
For ye see, I believe...
that...
There's a laddie weary
And wanderin' free
Who's waitin' for his dearie...
Me.
She told me the story only a few days ago. She is courting, beginning the adventure that could last a lifetime.
We love you, dear Keslie!!

Ooh, those pictures are lovely! I especially like the first one. That pink dress is just gorgeous, Johanna! :)
Oh thank you Julia! I loooove it as well:D. It was my mother's prom dress that she actually sewed! Isn't it gorgeous? It's so much fun to wear:).
~Johanna
How exciting...plus, a wonderful grouping of photos! ☺
~Emily
That's a clever interpretation of the song - I recognized a lot of the phtots. How exciting for your friend! And you're going to sing in a musical review? That sounds like so much fun!
What beautiful photos! It's hard to pick favorites, but I especially like the ones with the row of mailboxes! I think I saw them on your brother's xanga(which he really should update, by the way. *g*)
My best wishes for your friend!
PS. Where is the third picture up from the bottom from? Is it from a movie?
Thanks, ladies!:)
Abigail, the picture you asked about is my eight year old sister, Sarah Anne, in the field behind our house. I dressed her up for the fun of it one day.:)
Emma
P.S.
Just as a side note on the 3rd from last photo, I was the photographer;). And my brother Sam took the photo of me by the mailboxes.
~Johanna
I love the photos! Johanna, is the when he comes, my dearie, one look, and I'll know picture a photo one of you from The Photographer? I love your hair-do!
Oh, and what's the "One day he'll come, walking ore' the horizon" from? The outfit looks really neat!
Amy
Lovely pictures.
That lace jacket/bolero/thing? that you wore with the pink dress did you make it..buy it...what?
--Miss Meg
That was me...posting on my brother's account on accident. Forgive me.
Meg
Amy, the "One day he'll come" picture was taken by Country Reflections Photography: http://contentinthecountry.blogspot.com/. She was photographing her sister (Kelsie) and the man she is courting at a Civil War Reenactment. Isn't her dress lovely? I simply love it!!
I made this post about Kelsie and simply couldn't help adding such an appropriate picture with them as the subjects!
Emma
I love all the pictures! They're so great, especially the ones I recognize!!! :D
Oh, wow! I never would have guessed that was an 8-year-old. *laughs* It looks like a scene from some Epic costume drama. Awesome photography!
Amy, thank you! Thank you! Yes, that photo is a freeze frame of myself as Ella Rienhardt from our film, The Photographer. (thephotographermovie.com) My mom styled my hair in a 20's wave. Didn't she do an amazing job? :D I looooved having a bob.
Meg, thank you! My mom actually sewed that lace jacket to go with her pink prom dress years ago. I wear it alll the time because it's so stylish and chic. I love wearing it to add a old fashioned, vintage flair to an outfit.
Thank you Abigail! :D
~Johanna
I love that song! The picture story was so much fun.
Congratulations to Keslie.

Keslie sent me the link to this and I am so glad she did. I do feel a little awkward commenting on it seeing that it is basically all girls here!! I do however, really want to say that it was very well done. The pictures are wonderful and the words fit them so well!
Great job!!! I look forward to someday meeting you all!
--David
PS. I deleted my last post because I figured you would want to know who I was!
Soooo perfect and beautiful!!!! That was SO sweet of you girls!!!! Thank you!!!!!! I was almost choked up with tears. =) I got to be there when Kess found it and she surprisingly sighed, "Ohhh!!! I can't believe it". =D =D
Thank you, so much David. I am ever so happy that it blessed you too.:) I am so bursting with joy and happiness for you both!!!
Emma
I got the link from S&S. I love that song... The rest of the movie is a little far fetched but I do love the song! Congrats to you firend!
