Icons: Christy

We've been Netflixing the new DVDs of the Christy mini-series that aired back in 1994 on CBS, and while I can remember watching it when I was little, I'm really enjoying seeing them all over again. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Christy, it is based on the novel by Catherine Marshall, and it's one of my favourites. Kellie Martin (who plays Christy) is absolutely perfect, and you couldn't have special-ordered a better person to play her.

This batch is principally from the "title credit" sequence where Christy speaks at the beginning of each episode. I've included the full text at the bottom of this entry.

But enough of this. ;-) Comment, credit, and enjoy!

Please, if you take anything, be so kind as to take note of the numbers of the icon(s) you're saving, since I am always experimenting with my styles and I would like to know what people like best. (This helps me so I can make more!) The numbers are above the icons. ;-)

"The Great Smokies.
When I left my city home to be a schoolteacher
at a backwoods mission, I dreamed of adventure.
I wasn't ready for the real challenges of life
in these mountains.
I'd have given up, if not for the children.
I came to Cutter Gap to teach
but they show me everyday I'm here to learn."

~ spoken by Christy Huddleston at the beginning of each episode

oh lovely!

Ah, okay, thanks.

:-D I agree, and yes, lol, David can be very annoying! I loved it when he and Neil were fighting over the moonshine and Christy tells them both to knock it off and Miss Alice says that she has more sense than the two of them put together. ;-P
