The Road to Oz

The hospital sucked today. It was a long drive and a very long wait, we left late morning and didn't get home till almost 6.30. The news was not good, hubby's one eye is pretty critical, he is diabetic, I had to hold back the tears. Diabetes is a lousy illness. We got home and hubby cooked my favorite steak on the barbi with mushrooms and onion in olive oil, salad and potatoes.

So what, you might ask has this to do with the Road to Oz and is the photo above IT? Well, not unless it is a yellow brick road and we didn't see the Wizard or the Witch on pack walk. But we did see Dorothy, complete with sparkling red shoes, the cowardly lion, though he probably wasn't more than 3ft tall and the tin man. 3 children in costume out having their pics taken by Mom and Dad amongst the fall leaves in the park. We were privileged to witness this precious memory of theirs and honored to be allowed to photograph although I can't publish them but it was so cool that sharing that memory with them also became a part of ours. Such joy on the faces of the children and a bit worriedly the parents looked way too young.. did I ever look that young with my children?

Back to work tomorrow, the happy holiday over. Can't wait for Halloween.

Ooohhh BIG news today.. almost forgot. Benjamin the little black and white cocker spaniel you see the picture of got adopted!! He went to a family who already have another cocker spaniel and they got along great. He will have a wonderful home. I am glad I got to meet him and so happy he is home already. God bless Benjie.
