My response:
Surprisingly, the first time I think Grandma mentioned any kind of snow would be her brushing off her porch. I keep waiting to hear more about the winter of that time but that may just be because we are in the throes of one here!
All of these movie references make me really want to start watching some of these movies my grandmother loved. And I’m surprised by how MANY movies there are! I’m not a big theater goer so I don’t see new movies very often, but I don’t think they come out as quickly now as they did then. I wonder why that is.
