Thx so much @TheBookHippie for including Heidi in this month‘s #ChildrensClassicRead2024. I finally read this gem for the first time and loved it! 🙌🏻 I also watched the film version (on VHS!) with my Mom. Of course, the book is so much better, but the movie is perfectly cast with Shirley Temple as Heidi & it‘s quite amusing too. What a heartwarming adventure!
P.S. Count me in when we all move to the mountains and tend our goats!🐐

mrp27 I‘m loving the book too! Savoring it because I don‘t want it to end. I‘ve lost my Shirley Temple vhs tapes in one of my moves. 3d
UwannaPublishme @TheBookHippie @AmyG @kspenmoll I hadn‘t seen a Shirley Temple movie in ages. She really was amazing and so perfect in this role! 3d
UwannaPublishme @mrp27 So happy to hear you‘re enjoying it too. If you still have a VHS player like me, I‘ll send you the movie. 😊 3d
PurpleyPumpkin Glad you enjoyed this one! I really did too. And yes, looking forward to mountain living and tending our goats. It really did sound like a lovely pastime! Not like work at all!😅 2d
mrp27 Ugh… I do wish I still had a VHS player. I used to. Only have a DVD player. But thank you, so kind! 2d
UwannaPublishme @PurpleyPumpkin 😁 👍🏻 I‘m always up for an escape into nature where I can play with the animals and read! 2d
UwannaPublishme @mrp27 I have to keep my player working as long as I can. It‘s too hard to part with my old VHS tapes.😁 2d
Jari-chan You can come visit me - I live about 20 minutes from Maienfeld 😁 2d
UwannaPublishme @Jari-chan Wow! How wonderful is that! I‘m sure it‘s as beautiful there as we imagine. Hope you have room for all of us…and our goats! 😁 2d
Jari-chan @UwannaPublishme If the goats are very tiny we sure can find a spot 😁 🐐 2d

I enjoyed this book. I'm a little tempted to move to a Swiss village with the smell of fresh air, surrounded by flowers and goats and no technology. I'll be daydreaming about that while I'm stuck in front of my computer for too many hours tomorrow. #childrensclassicread2024 @TheBookHippie

TheBookHippie I agree. I now want a goat. ♥️ 4d
Pogue You need to read the sequels. They might be harder to find but there are two. 4d

Took a mental health day on Friday and decided to read this book over my long weekend. This book has been on my kids' lit bookshelf for years, but I never read it. Watched the Shirley Temple movie a million times as a kid though. #ChildrensClassicRead2024

Story time. Yesterday I was looking for my copies of Heidi. I knew I had a few and I came across the one that my brother-in-law gave me after my sister died, I knew it had belonged to my grandmother. Well, I open it up and found a note she had written to my grandmother when she was around eight which means I was about five. I can‘t believe I have this. 🩷

Mehso-so

Reread of this series continues, alas, this one is slightly horrifying, which takes away from the charm. Obviously taunting/rudeness to one's elders and not bringing a gift for a host are emphatically discouraged, but the whole tail dismemberment and mention of possible skinning are a bridge too far for a children's book in my eyes. 😬 Pity, because there are some lovely illustrations of squirrels and harvest season.

Squirrel babies are peaking out now. I make up that the Beatrix Potter stories are taking place in our backyard to grand baby hippie........ We've seen Peter Rabbit, Old Brown owl and Squirrel Nutkin today.......

IndoorDame So cute 🥰 10mo
Soubhiville 😍 how fun, little fuzzy butts. 10mo
wordslinger42 How adorable 🥰 Baby birds hatched in our garden and were all three sitting right in front of our windowsill before they flew off. It was really cool to get to see them so close! 10mo

Even though Aquarian season is over, we're not done with Aquarius! 🌟

Interesting reading for #travelingstars about some long-term transits coming soon to a sky near you! https://www.astro.com/astrologie/in_plutowassermann_e.htm

@Chrissyreadit @wanderinglynn @Gissy @catiewithac @inthegreensandblues @DebinHawaii @MoonWitch94 @DGRachel @Erinsuereads @jenniferw88 @bookwormAHN

StaceGhost Also some interesting predictions about Saturn in Pisces! https://www.astro.com/astrology/opa_article230123_e.htm 13mo
Erinsuereads Ohhh I'm glad you posted this I forgot I have a post to make with my letters for the month! @Gissy your January letter got returned so I'm resendng it today when I drop off @jenniferw88! Sorry for the late send this month! 13mo
Erinsuereads I feel like I've been hearing so much and feeling so much change and collective awareness shift happening lately, especially in the metaphysical community. Everyone seems uneasy and kind of concerned for the shifts that seem to be swirling around 13mo

BookwormAHN Interesting and somewhat depressing 😸 13mo
Chrissyreadit @Erinsuereads I agree the universe is unsettled in a way that feels different from a natural chaos 13mo
Erinsuereads I really feel deep in my bones that we are on the edge of a huge technological shift. @Chrissyreadit there has been a lot of collective awakening about the way that we are addicted and dependant on tech and so many people seem to be unsettled deeply by it 13mo
StaceGhost @Erinsuereads @Chrissyreadit @BookwormAHN I‘m feeling a similar vibe— I‘m hoping for that age of Aquarius I was promised 😂 where are my mystic crystal revelations? https://youtu.be/kjxSCAalsBE 13mo
Erinsuereads That was glorious. Thank you for that gem 😂😂😂@staceghost 13mo
StaceGhost @Erinsuereads hahaha anytime 🎉 💃🏻 🛼 13mo
