Wizard of Oz Museum

The tinman is 7 ft tall and has L. Frank Baum's grandson's signature on his shoulder

The 2nd picture is of a pair of ruby slippers that was a comissioned piece of art to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Wizard of Oz it contains over 3,000 crystals and some rubies-AWESOME even though they wouldnt let me try them on =(

In the last photo is a wonderful quilt made by a local artist for the museum's grand opening. I wanted to take it home w/ me- OH WELL.

It's an awesome museum & I cannot wait to take Madison to it during Oztoberfest =)

Psycho Guys and Wonderful Little Museums

The title says it all, I went to a singles event and met a weird-o. I left early and to my surprise ran across a little Wizard of Oz Museum in Wemago Kansas IT WAS AWESOME. It totally redeemed the sucktackular time I had at the singles event!!! Hopefully I can get the pic's on here soon!! I'm taking my daughter back in October b/c they have OZtoberfest. They have all the surviving Munchkins from the movie there to sign autographs and have their picture taken:) The festival is pretty cool, they have a parade, a play at the local theatre and much more I CANT WAIT!!! Madison will love to see the museum she's loving the Wizard of Oz more than I do-(that's unbelievable).

Dr. Cameron: Men should grow up.

Dr. Gregory House: Yeah. And dogs should stop licking themselves. It's not gonna happen.


I'm loving Dr. House that much more-LOL

In Memoriam

Robert Lloyd Mauldin (1938-2008)

Born to Lloyd and Martha Mauldin in 1938; Robert or as he was known to many Uncle Bob quietly passed away in July of 2008. He donated his body to medical science under the Genesis Legacy Foundation (genesislegacy.org) to help further medical education. Robert was preceded in death by his parents Lloyd Ulysses & Martha Mae Mauldin, two sisters Priscilla Deane and Brenda Sue Mauldin as well as one brother Terry Dennis Mauldin. Uncle Robert survived by his 3 children Robbie James, Shellie Claudine and Sabrina Irene Mauldin. He also has survived by 3 sisters Sarah Smith, Nancy Coldicott & Joyce Essary as well as one remaining brother William Mauldin. He will be missed by all. The following poem has been adapted from the writings of

J. Morse and, I thought it truly fit my Uncle’s beliefs. We love you Uncle Robert and will miss you.

One quiet day the angels came
and took Uncle Bob far away
But in the stillness of the night
I could almost hear him say
Dear Family I will miss you
You mean so much to me
But Jesus called me to his side
In heaven I will be
A place of God’s great beauty
No tears or earthly cares
Only peace and joy forever
And love beyond compare
So remember all the special moments
Through the years we’ve always had
And if you trust in Jesus I can promise this and more
You will get a hug from Uncle Bob someday
and a little kiss.

Another Amazing Quote !!!

If ever there is a tomorrow when we are not together, there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, & smarter than you think but most important of all, even if we are apart, I’ll always be with you- WINNIE THE POOH
