The Real Tin Man...

The inspiration for the name of my blog is my husband, Mike. He works at an aluminum factory and has a big heart. He is getting a bit rusty around the joints, but can still dance up a storm. (Literally.) He recycles pop cans to help save the environment and donates the money to charity. When I tell him he needs the oil can, he asks; "Oil can, what?" Anyway...he is my Tin Man, rust and all. The Wizard of Oz is my favorite movie of all time. I relate to Dorothy in that, like her, I always am reminded that "if I ever go looking for my heart's desire, I don't need to look any further than my own backyard." The Tin Man has stolen Dorothy's heart.
