Th...Hey, hey, hey ... so happy you joined in Lise! The witch was scary but the critters that scared me more than any others were those freaky flying monkeys! After all these years I now realize they actually sported feather wings .... but in my mind ... they had BAT wings! I always saw "Bat" wings and immediately thought "Oh No! They are gonna give Toto rabies! To me Bat wings make them way more menacing than feather wings ... too bad I hadn't been born yet .,. I could have advised them to impart BAT wings to the monkeys! LOL!<br /><br />Good luck on the give away drawing!<br /><br />Happy day to you and thanks for visiting!IrelandBradyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07760651941657566423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9141645180517251108.post-31174194542565496592012-07-19T19:45:34.478-07:002012-07-19T19:45:34.478-07:00Karen Anne,

How could I resist?<br /><br />And it is such a generous give-away! <br /><br />Anyway, I have enjoyed reading all about your Oz series. And I loved the movie too. It was the first "scary movie" I ever saw and the part where Dorothy was locked in by the witch made me cry and turn off the T.V., but my Mom turned it back on and assured me that everything would come out right in the end. Then I could watch all of the re-runs and memorize the songs.<br /><br />Anyway, thank you!!!Lisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06266942951190435796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9141645180517251108.post-3463383445948680762012-07-19T16:56:17.588-07:002012-07-19T16:56:17.588-07:00Hi MJ and Antiquity!
