Thursday Art & Dinner Date ... The Wizard of Oz

The Wizard of Oz


Original sketch

News paper clipping of The University of Illinois Faculty Players in the 1950's ... Dorothy was played by my Mother :)  I know I have told this story before, but after my Mother starred in this play, she received boxes of fan mail and people would stop her on the street and praise her performance.  It was a fun experience for a grade schooler (me).  

Before I go I want to apologize for missing two weeks ... and the worst part is I still haven't finished my project.  Try as I may, it just doesn't seem to want to get done.  So, I am back because I miss you all (and, if I am honest, it wasn't hard to skip the "furniture" prompts  😁)  So we are into fall, but it is still hot and sticky ... I await the fall colors and the wonderful 70 degree weather :) Be well ...
