Only Bad Witches Are Ugly

Everyone asleep by 8:30 (poppies will make them sleep!), so I put on the television and there is my favorite movie of all time - WIZARD OF OZ. Just checked in with Louis, and he's watching it too. I was amazed when he said he has never seen it from the beginning, because I have seen it thousands of times. I guess we all have at least one movie that we really love and can watch over and over and never get tired of it.

This movie is very special to me, Bootie, Pop-Pop and Suzanne. During my childhood, it was a yearly tradition for us to watch this together on television. (with popcorn and chocolate milk).

Suzie, Tricia and I would run down the hill singing LIONS, TIGERS AND BEARS OHMY!

Pop-pop loved to sing "If I were King of the forest!". (remember we had the giggles at Carnegie Hall when that singer sounded like the lion and mommy was asleep!)

Anyway, back to the movie, and in the meantime, below are some memorable quotes from the movie.
