Sense and Sensibility is like a fine wine...

It only gets better with age!

This is still one of my very favorite books.  I love the movie also! Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet were fabulous in the latest version of this movie...  While surfing the net today I came across this cute quiz.   I was curious to see which heroine I was.  It came as a surpise to me that I would be characterized as Marianne Dashwood!

Here are my results:

You Are...Marianne Dashwood!

You are Marianne Dashwood of Sense & Sensibility! You are impulsive, romantic, impatient, and perhaps a bit too brutally honest. You enjoy romantic poetry and novels, and play the pianoforte beautifully. To boot, your singing voice is captivating. You feel deeply, and love passionately

Take the Quiz here!

Whats funny is that most of it is true---except for the piano forte and singing voice that is:)  I cannot hold a note if my life depended on it... Ha!

As for my birthday last week...   I promissed pictures from the weekend --so here you go... Not too many to share as I somehow did not get around to taking as many this year.

A Little Vino that we enjoyed...

Mainly little sister and I:)

 

Some delicious food: Shrimp in a fresh tomato base sauce -- my sister made up the recipe - Super Yummy:

With some Fetuccine  and Salad:

Some Arroz a la Valenciana -- The Nicaraguan version of  Paella:

And of course a little fun:

And Games:

Vegas Baby!   See that my sister is already corrupting my  child...  Good thing money was not introduced into the equation:)

Thank you all for your Birthday Wishes!   All in all it was a good birthday weekend!

Oh by the way -- Mamma Mia was really a cute movie in a corny sort of way:)

I *love* Sense and Sensibility! Your blog post makes me want to run up to my bookcase and choose an Austen book to read next. And your birthday dinner looks scrumptious! Glad you had a fun day.

I come up as Anne Elliot - probably about right apart from being easily persuaded, perhaps a later Anne Elliot!

I just took the test and I'm ~drum roll~

Though I don't know if that;s good or bad?

You'll think I'm nuts but I've never seen this movie, guess I'll have to see it now 8-) I'm not a lovey dovey kinda gal

Everett Ridge is excellent wine. Husband and I visited their winery twice last year. Nice staff and beautiful view. Glad you had fun with your sister.
