I'm Off To See The Wizard

Well, not really. But I am going back to Kansas in a few weeks. :) My sisters and I are planning a sister's get-away for a few days. I don't remember when the last time was that we were together just the five of us. I am blessed with little slips of time when I get to see them individually, which is good, but all five of us together is going to be interesting, and regardless of what happens it will be memorable. The Wizard of Oz thing kind of happened to us when I moved to Belize. I gave all the sisters a figurine and a letter about one of the main characters in the movie and why they reminded me of that person. Mind you, we are all old enough now that NONE of them received the wicked witch figurine. :) My sisters may not have always appeared to have what the characters desperately wanted from the Wizard, but the magnificent thing was that God had provided it to them all along, and maybe they just didn't realize it until later. Since then, it's been a special thing we've shared and enjoyed along the way. So, when we get together, we're adding little touches from the Wizard of Oz, and hopefully the flying monkeys will be far, far away.
You know, I never liked that movie growing up. It scared the sleep right out of me. Sometimes, under duress, I would watch it with one of my sisters who really liked the movie. I still don't like the movie all that much, but I love the memory of having shared it with her.
