Yippee!!! It's a Wizard of Oz Gala over at Twyla and Lindsey's! So follow the YELLOW BRICK ROAD over to Two Crazy Crafters and join in the fun!
I didn't really have anything thing to "show" for the Gala, so I decided I'd just "reflect" on the movie.I first saw The Wizard of Oz at the theatre when I was about 7 years old. The thing I remember most is being terrified of the witch. Especially when they showed a close up of her in the round, gaze ball. I remember crying and asking Mom to take me home.
Can you imagine what she looked like to me..............up on that HUGE screen with that big, green face? I thought she was "going to get me" just like Dorothy. : O 
I always wondered what those witch's guards were saying when they went in the gate? I thought they were saying "Oreo, re oh oh" (like the cookie :)
"No "hot?" ( sigh) "No "hot!" The tin man was always my favorite. Such a romantic. :)
My Favorite Line in the Movie:
Lion to the tin man: "How long do you stay fresh in that can?"
In my search for images, I found some funny ones. Like these look-a-likes.
hehehehehe
a little stretch on that one.
But I always thought the actor Glen Ford looked like the flying monkey. I always called him "monkey face" because of that? Do you agree?
This one made me laugh.Thanks for letting me "reflect" on one of the greatest movies of all time. I loved having you!
and thanks, Twyla and Lindsey for such a fun time!
psssssssssssssst............the next pic has nothing to do with "Oz", but it was so funny to me that I wanted to share it.
LOL!

How awesome that you went to see the bridges in Mad. Co! The pics of you in the house are just wonderful, I am envious. The kitchen and the shower, lol... too cool.
That was such a powerful movie for me as I was struggling with leaving my first husband at the time. Really hit home.
You asked about BP bangs. Nope, can't have them. I have such a strong cowlick in front that I could never have straight across bangs.
I have worn faux bangs tho, but the ones I have are too poufy. You get the idea,

I love the Wizard of Oz. Give me a big bowl of popcorn and I'm all set. I still watch it every year when it's on. It seems like it should be on soon.
Thanks for stopping by The Old Parsonage, I hope that you'll come back.
Enjoy!

Loved your post today. I just let my little 2.5 yr old GS watch this for the first time this week. I sat there watching his face and I had to laugh because when those monkeys came on the scene he ran over and jumped up onto my chair. I sure hope he did not have any bad dreams. Next day he came over and asked to watch the monkey movie:)
