Fun
Lazy Sunday: On Golden Pond
Dear Kay,
Seeing as how I’m not heading to my summer house by the lake this weekend (I do not have a summer house by the lake, to be clear), I think I’ll be dialing up On Golden Pond, the 1981 movie with Katharine Hepburn and Henry Fonda and Jane Fonda and a lot of awesome pondside drama.
Henry Fonda and Katharine Hepburn both won Oscars for their performances. Jane Fonda’s hair won an Honorary Oscar for Volume.
Netflix has it through the end of June, here. And you can rent it on Amazon.com.
Wishing all a good Memorial Day. Much to remember, you know.
Love,
Ann
And apparently, some of it was filmed on Squam Lake, where some of us will be in a week and a bit, to knit. Could be part of one’s prep to watch.
What she said. Except I can go this year…
I had no idea that is where it was filmed. How fun.
I wish I could just watch On Golden Pond and lose myself in a good family story but the thought of children being taken from their mothers at the border by this administration leaves me heart sick. I want to act. Been calling and writing my representatives in Congress. Called ICE. Feel like it probably will not make a difference but I need to try. Hope there will be a collective rage about this that it will reach critical mass. How can any parent watch this happening and not take action?
It is heartbreaking and infuriating to see the reports of what has been happening at the border. I wrote my representatives and encourage everyone to do the same.
Love that movie!!!
“Norman you old poop!” Love me some Kate Hepburn.
Good idea! I won’t be going to my “lake house” either. 😀
Enjoy the movie and then come to New Hampshire and enjoy our beautiful state. We have mountains, lakes and a bit of seashore. We have museums, art galleries,craftspeople and even semi-pro sports teams.
And we have sheep & yarn….some of it world famous like Harrisville Designs and some of it more locally reknown like what you find at the annual Sheep & Wool Festival held annually on Mother’s Day weekend.
I’m going to Harrisville Designs soon! My second class there and I can’t wait. It’s high on my list of cool towns of the USA.
Here’s my claim to fame: my cousin’s wife raised sheep whose fleeces were milled at the Harrisville Mills, and they lived in Harrisville. Alas, now both deceased.
You may not have a house by the lake, but in years past you have had the Monteagle Assembly, which from your accounts and what I’ve read sounds pretty wonderful!
I saw that film when it first came out, and literally the only thing I remember about it now is “lawn chair.” It will be like seeing a whole new movie! 🙂
