Follow the Yellow Brick Road

Last night, my children, along with the rest of their school (about 30 students in all, K-12) performed the musical, "The Wizard of Oz". It was a very well done performance, thanks to the entire school and basically the entire community.

The evening started out with a fine gourmet meal, cooked by a great chef, who happens to live right here in our small community. It was delicious! Then, the play was under way. The kids did a great job and it was a tremendous evening for all.

It was such an amazing thing to watch "the final product", after having been a small part in the costumes, props, make-up and other pre-show tasks. I was truly inspired and in awe of our community and seeing the many, many, MANY hands that helped make it happen. If we needed a barn, or a door built, someone outside of the school was on it. If we needed make-up or costumes, a mom or a friend could provide it, or sew it, or mend it. Numerous people worked around the clock to paint, built, paste, fix, hammer or whatever it took to make the play a success. Not to mention, the kids and all their hard work, memorizing lines, singing songs, going out of their comfort zone and standing in front of an audience, rehearsing over and over and over again. So much work went into the success of this play.

I am very grateful for all the special talents and abilities of our small community and how their talents were put to use to make this production fabulous and memorable. What a blessing it was to be involved in such a great thing!


Date night!
