Oops, Oz, Marshal, and the Cabin

Image
 oops..... I ended up being AWOL again! I skipped down the yellow brick road and went to see the Wizard. My brother bought us tickets to go to Oz in Beech, North Carolina. I have been a fan of the  Wizard of Oz for as long as  I can remember.  The movie used to come on once  a year, and I never missed it. I became hooked when it was split into a two night show.  Then it went to one night once  a yr. Then, there was movie stores to  rent movies and once I introduced my daughter to the movie, every time we went to rent movies, she wanted that one. I remember telling her that  it was a once a year type of movie,  cause that is what I waited all yr for.  Anyway,  here is Dorothy with the handy men that worked on the Gale homestead. Prof. Marvel. Ms. Gutch. Gale homestead. Aunt Em and uncle Henry. Dorothy singing Over the Rainbow. Moving on to Dorothy and  Prof. Marvel.  Sun between branches of the trees  made shootin...

Through Your Mind, Food, ICU and Now

There are several, many, things  that go through your mind when someone you  love goes through what DJ has gone through. Esp if  you are dealing with someone so young. With DJ,  of course we were all so thankful to still have him with us. However, some of my thoughts were, "we still have him with us", also, "thank goodness he did not lose that eye" (the one where he was cut on the eyelid, just a little more pressure, or the cut a bit deeper, it might have turned out different. Other thoughts were, he is not paralyzed, and he did not have brain damage. As a mom, Amber's main thought that was so hard for her to come to terms was, "he laid there in that ditch, ALONE". My hopes were that being thrown  from the truck, maybe he was knocked out, and maybe he will not remember that time. In ICU he did mention that he remembered coming too in the ditch. My heart broke. Other events after bouncing around in  the truck, seeing a tree (large crepe myrtle),  he doe...

The Screen Door, Hummingbird, 80s Pic, Well House, and Hearts

Image
  Hi... On the way from Nashville,  I40 towards Memphis, a route I have taken so many times and so many more since the accident, I have seen this site. Only thing I can guess, is it fell off a  truck and someone picked it up, sat it over in this field.  But, if it fell from a truck, the glass did not seem to break. And it is standing there in the field with the frame also still around it,  and of course I needed a pic. I could not drive at 80 miles per hour,  down the road and click this site but one day Amber was taking us home. That was my chance! Looks cool standing out there like that. Ray gave me this pic the day  Lori and I headed for the mountains. He said he bought it about ten yrs ago and was going to frame and hang it  but never got it hung.  Apparently, he has no room to hang it now so he gave it do me, and  you all know how I feel about  things on the wall. Which means, I found a place for it. Amber did this 80s look...
