We’re Off to See the Wizard!

As promised, here’s a group shot and cast list from our trip down the Yellow Brick Road on Halloween:

Cast of Characters:

The Tin Man: Gaba (my mom)
Toto: Rae
Glinda the Good Witch: Nana (Dave’s mom)
Dorothy: Madeline
The Wicked Witch: Yours truly (I’m not going to take it personally that Madeline asked me to dress up as the Wicked Witch, especially since she asked Pop, a 6’5″ man, to be a Munchkin.)
The Scarecrow: Dave

Not pictured: Papa (my dad), who was cast as the Cowardly Lion and ordered a one-size-fits-all costume that he called his “sausage casing” and thus refused to wear out in public (even a grandparent’s love has limits) and Pop (Dave’s dad), who just couldn’t come up with a suitable Munchkin get-up.

    I love it! Unfortunately, Jaina had to make do with “Pink Doggie” who isn’t pink at all, to be her “toto” :)

    I swear, she has some of my genes — I don’t know how it happened! I guess I was just meant to be her godmother! :o)

Hi, I’m Kate

 

I'm the author of two nonfiction books Getting Past Perfect and Weightless, a storyteller*, overthinker, eating disorder survivor, mom of five, book junkie, socially awkward nerd as well as a speaker (so basically a walking and talking contradiction), and a perfectionist in recovery.

I am currently working towards my MFA in Fiction at Warren Wilson. Thank you to everyone who has read my drafts, offered feedback, and cheered me on. The writing life is often solitary, but I wouldn’t be here without a community of support.
