Oprah in Person!!!!!!!

Well the day was finally here. The day that we have been waiting for. We finally got our chance to see Oprah in person in Chicago this past friday. We spent more time waiting in line than we did actually sitting down to enjoy the taping. But it was well worth it. A very nice show, and it will air on November 25, 2009, the day before thanksgiving.
I feel I don't need to tape it, cause I was there while it was going on. And I really don't think from the area that my sister and I were sitting in that there is any chance the camera caught us. A nice trip to Chicago and we did get a chance to see some of the sites as well before we made the long trip home. A memory for me and sis.

And speaking of memories, my little bug, Hailie broke her arm two weeks ago. Just a freaky accident when her sister jumped on top of her and landed just right. She broke both bones in her wrist. She is such a trooper, even this little cast does not keep her from using her arm.

Saturday was a grandma and Ivan day. We went to a Kris Kringle shop here in town. The grandkids refer to it as the North Pole. Ivan sure thought that was were he was at. Here he is all smiles with a train ornament he picked up from his visit there.



He was so good, and very intent on finding just the right christmas ornament. Grandma even had it painted with his name. He was so proud.
Sunday was another babysitting day but it ended early and gave me enough time at home to finish a camo fleece quilt for Ivan's dad and I manage to cut out material for the BOM project from the Thimbleberries Club monthly meetings.
And while Bill is still gone, (till the end of the week) the house remains quiet and lots of housework is getting done. I even manage to get some christmas baking done.
I haven't figured out yet, why it is when he is home I don't seem to get as much stuff done. But I am still pondering it.
