I remember the first time I saw the movie "The Wizard of Oz". I was just transported away to the other side of the rainbow. I cried for Dorothy to be able to go home, I wanted the tin man to get his heart and I loved the brainless scarecrow for his devotion to Dorothy. I also fell in love with the song "Somewhere Over the Rainbow".... so much in fact that it is still my very favorite song. I have left word with my children that it is to be sung at my funeral. When Wayne and I went to Disney World, the movie park had the set of "The Wizard of Oz" that you are transported through. I felt like my young girl self again. Never has a movie impacted me so much. I guess there really is no place like home.
