Seasons of Waltzes and Peanuts

It was raining hard when I woke up this morning, but the rain had long subsided by the time I sat down to breakfast and Winnie the Pooh: Seasons of Giving. I went further into this Pooh holiday anthology movie at my Musical Dreams Movie Reviews blog on Thanksgiving 2021. 


Hurried off to work the moment Pooh ended. As it turned out, I probably didn't need to rush. Work was dead when I arrived, and the head bagger was already pushing carts. I took over the carts when she went inside to sweep and gather trash, and stayed with them for the rest of the day. It did finally pick up around 3, when everyone stopped at the grocery store to pick up their Thanksgiving perishables after work. Other than that, there were no major problems...and that includes the weather. The clouds were breaking up even as I went to work. It was sunny, breezy, and relatively warm for the rest of the day, probably in the upper 50's. 

After I got home, I put on PAW Patrol while eating dinner and doing chores. "The Pups Save Thanksgiving" when Mayor Humdinger tries to steal the Thanksgiving dinner Mayor Goodway has set up for the citizens of Adventure Bay. He and his kittens accidentally set a turkey bounce house into the air instead, upending the food and leading the cubs on a chase all over town to get him down safely. "Pups Save a Windy Bay" when they have to rescue the contestants in a windsurfing contest and figure out where the huge wind that scattered them came from.

Watched The Last Waltz next. I go further into the last concert performed by the original members of The Band at my Musical Dreams blog.


Finished the night with the soundtrack from A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. "Charlie Brown Blues" that opens the special and the "Thanksgiving Theme" are probably the best-known numbers from this one. I also like "Little Birdie," the song describing the antics of Woodstock and Snoopy, with vocals supplied by none other than Vince Guaraldi himself. Side two is mostly given over to alternate mixes and reprises of the songs on side one, though we do have "Clark and Guaraldi," a drum-heavy jam session.
