Wizard of Oz

It is that time of the year when I need to get my dose of the Wizard of Oz movie. I grew up in the decade of black and white TVs. My family was one of the last to get a colored TV in the group of families I knew as a grade school age child. So little did I know, that the movie started in black and white and ended in color. But once a year I needed to watch it with my family and once a year I would hide behind my dad's chair when the flying monkeys came pouncing down. I am not sure how old I was when I saw it for the first time on a colored TV and was astounded when all at once everything was in color. Wow! It is still one of my favorite movies. I actually have a collection of the little dolls that McDonald's gives out in their happy meals, thanks from the help of daughters and granddaughters. I even bought a couple for myself. My middle daughter also bought me a vintage book that I have my little collection in front of on a cupboard shelf in my work room. I just ran across Funky Junk Interiors blog and she is having a vignettes party so I am going to link up to it tonight. Mind you, I do have some prettier or more countrified vignettes but as I said it's just that time of the year. I do not really celebrate Halloween. Do not decorate for it either. I do have a granddaughter born on October 31'st so I am sure there will be some pictures of children in costumes on here in a week or so. As Carol Burnett would say "Here's to the memories". Well I think it was Carol Burnett.



Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Our oldest grandson is visiting for the weekend so we just enjoyed a pepperoni pizza and bread sticks! Yumm! Thanks for stopping by!
