An excerpt from my diary, April 5, 1978, Thursday
 It's 7 a.m. and my baby girls woke up singing, I love them my babies so much. This week we watched "The Wizard of Oz",. After it was over we went outside to make shapes with the clouds. A  jet went over leaving a white stream and Nancy had to be held and she was so scared. My baby was sure that was the wicked witch.
