The Wizard of Oz plays in the background as I write this, and I am surrounded by wonderful memories of both the past and the present.

The Wiz/Oz has always been–and I do mean always–a clear favorite of mine, for too many reasons to list here. I think the story line is so transparent, but it is a classic b/c, despite the fact that we know what is coming, we watch it anyway. We have to see that tornado, that melting witch, that curtain being pulled, time and time again. And we believe in its message. Such a wonderful classic.

A great day at both the horse ring and the pool. First, the video of Madelyn:

I am so in love with this day. 🙂
