No Place Like Home!

I think I am the last one of anyone who knows me to see this. I read the book last summer. . . loved it and looked forward to seeing it on stage. Quite a bit different, but so enjoyable. If you haven't read the book --- DO!

I know I know. I have been so WICKED. It has been since MAY!!! But life has a way of throwing you curve balls. . . nasty ones.



But then I can't really say for certain that it has been really nasty. . . maybe the ball was magnanimous pitch. . .one that would help me move forward in the game and take a base or two.



What did we learn from this marvelous musical. . . most times things aren't how they appear to be. Always another side to every story. . . maybe the Lord is inviting me to see His side.



Nonetheless, we find our little farm house, upside down and alll disheveled, but in a warm and happy place; that we can be greatful for indeed. In my heart of hearts I always knew we would land in Utah again . . . didn't anticipate the twister that would drop us down here. But we are greatful for the adventure, and are waiting to find our yellow brick road. Well. . . maybe we are already on it. . . the gold is just a bit faded, so I have to look harder for it's happy hue on the path beneath my feet.
