Live. Laugh. And Be Healthy: #54. Attend a Play & #33. Eat Somewhere New

#33. Eat Somewhere New
#54. Attend a Play

If you have been following my list of 200 things, by now you have noticed that there are some repeats. As I began listing everything I wanted to do in 2 years, I came to realize I didn't mind if I experience things more than once. Because each race, each play, each museum all have different feelings, pictures, people, etc. That being stated... here goes with another play. :)

The Wizard of Oz is a movie I could pretty much quote to you. I grew up watching it a lot with my dad. This past year, I have been working on remembering the good things about my dad. I remember the Wizard of Oz as one of the good things.

A few months after my parents got divorced, I spent the weekend at my dads place in Neosho. He drove us to Springfield to the mall. In the mall we found this store full of snow globes and gift items. I love snow globes. There is something so relaxing and hypnotizing about them. My dad bought me a Precious Moments snow globe. It played "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and said Dreams really do come true. At the time I didn't like it much, but now I love it.

This past year, I have wound the snow globe up more times than I could count. I think of my dad whenever I see it. Last fall, the Springfield Little Theatre announced the plays/musicals for the season. The Wizard of Oz was listed for April. And I automatically knew I had to go. A year ago this month (April), my dad passed away. So it was a great way to feel like he was here with me.

Last Saturday, I took John on another date. We went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner. I had never been. We had planned to go for Valentines Day, but the wait was too long. The food was great. Although I got full really quick. But my chicken came in the same of heart. :)
