I love the Wizard of Oz, and actually stayed in our bedroom Sunday night and watched it. My dad and I used to watch it every time it came on TV while I was growin up. We still watch it from time to time if it's on. It's always on around Christmas, don't know why, but it's such a classic movie, i guess, no matter what time of the year it's on.

It was one of those special nights that we looked forward to all year, we also looked forward to The Sound of Music, The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown, The Grinch, and Merry Christmas Charlie Brown. Those were big occasions at my house and one of the few times we would get to have chips and dip and get to drink sugery sodas. *L* Kids today get to watch whatever, whenever, and it is sad for them that these wonderful shows aren't special to them like they were to us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22010087.post-88502567866999027572008-07-28T02:25:00.000-04:002008-07-28T02:25:00.000-04:00I soo remember.

The stores here still sell jiffy pop and I pop it so my littlest kids can experience the "magic".<BR/>Thanks for the memory Dawn!Rechelle ~Walnuthaven Cottage~https://www.blogger.com/profile/00532760613588553175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22010087.post-89404735073770571232008-07-27T23:59:00.000-04:002008-07-27T23:59:00.000-04:00Oh how I remember getting to stay up late to watch...Oh how I remember getting to stay up late to watch that SCARY movie!! We had b/w tv (FOREVER!!!) so I didn't actually see the RUBY slippers until I was at the theater once as a teen. WOW! What a difference with color!! : ) We only had Jiffy Pop once -- it didn't inflate quite like the commercials promised and it was burned coal black!!! My mom had an old kettle that made the best popcorn! Thanks for the fun stroll down memory lane. I'm off to see the dishwasher ... ; )Debbie in CA : )https://www.blogger.com/profile/07473719745707917057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22010087.post-31721310913228910492008-07-27T23:56:00.000-04:002008-07-27T23:56:00.000-04:00You are funny.

It didn't matter though because it was a special night!

Only instead of the sofa we would lay on the floor with pillow and blanket. I used to hide under the blanket when the witch's monkeys were on, they really scared me. I have the DVD of the movie, sometimes I will pop some corn and watch it. And yes it is a shame kids today don't have the same feelings as we did about movies. Some times Change is not so good.<BR/><BR/>Hugs;<BR/>AlauraCottage Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13232333807529818159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22010087.post-64305964987107495102008-07-27T10:01:00.000-04:002008-07-27T10:01:00.000-04:00Rich and I still get that kind of excitement.

Seriously, we'll drop everything to watch some movie on TV, even though we could actually watch it anytime. Weird, I know.<BR/><BR/>The Wizard of Oz gives me the creeps now. I loved it as a kid, but I now associate it with a time it was on when I was in college. A girl had just been murdered up the street from our apartment, and they had no clue who had done it. My roommate had gone home for the weekend. We lived in a basement apartment and our windows were right at ground level. I watched the Wizard of Oz that night, and was scared witless the whole time, wondering if there was so serial killer roaming around outside. So now that's the association I have stuck with the Wizard of Oz. Isn't that sad?Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15429881953804634592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22010087.post-49977389584571129112008-07-27T09:59:00.000-04:002008-07-27T09:59:00.000-04:00I remember that too!

I looked forward to it all year (even though the Witch and those mean trees always scared me). We had popcorn too! Only ours was made in a hot air popper with the clear yellow plastic cover spout.

At least it stopped for the wedding. All is well and the wedding was perfect. Thank you for all your good wishes. <BR/><BR/>To answer your question of the other day about the bike ride. We got on a bus with our bikes and gear and they drove us to the top. It is quite a business at Mount Rogers.<BR/><BR/>Now, your post today. I love that movie and our children always looked forward to 'OZ'. Me too. The Jiffy Pop and all. Thanks for the fun memory.<BR/><BR/>Love ya, JeanneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22010087.post-71659827393753399332008-07-27T09:09:00.000-04:002008-07-27T09:09:00.000-04:00Hi Dawn,You have the same memories that I do....we...Hi Dawn,<BR/>You have the same memories that I do....we used to have fun didn't we.

It was always on Sunday, and I was allowed to stay home - and not go to Training Union.<BR/><BR/>Of course, I did feel a little guilty about skipping TU, but watching the movie overcame the guilt.<BR/><BR/>Gee, I might even let you sing Over The Rainbow to me. That is how much I love that song. ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
