Feliz Cumpleaños!
1935 Today we celebrate the birthday of the beautifully talented singer and actress Julie Andrews. At 79, she continues to enchant us with her talents and disposition. Andrews has brought us endearing characters that live on eternally and fill our hearts with “The Sound of Music.” Her elegant presence on the screen is only enhanced by her whimsical nature and tender spirit. So take some time and enjoy the splendor of the world as Mary Poppins or Maria von Trapp would, and don’t forget to feed the birds.
