November 26-29, 1998: Thanksgiving Weekend

As usual, we went to Steve and Charlenes house for Thanksgiving dinner.   I drove Grandpa's new Lincoln Town car over to Grand Rapids.  Charlene had made us ornaments with our pictures in them which were real cute.

On Friday,  Mom and I drove to Ann Arbor to see the Gonyos.   We went shopping and ran into Cheryl, Dawn, and Heather Klee in Hudsons.    We all had lunch together at Baker Square.   Then, we went to see Dawn's apartment.  

On Saturday, we went to Kensington apartments in South Lyon to help Wendy and Todd move into their new apartment.  

On Sunday, we drove to Grand Rapids to see Kelsey's new house and the kids.   Kelsey said she would call me 'Aunt Amy' which I was so excited about.   Had dinner with Grandpa and Grandma at Sam's Joint.  

November 14, 1998: Pow Wow

Beth, from my bible study, took me to see a pow wow down at the UIC Pavilion.   All of the different tribes did dances for a contest.   Their costumes were very colorful.     I got to try some authentic Native American food.   

November 3, 1998: Oprah Show

I was up early as I was going down to see a taping of the Oprah show.     I didn't find out until yesterday that I had the ticket to the show, so of course, I took off a half day of work.   It was hard to get a ticket to Oprah's show.    The studio wasn't far from my work, which was nice.  The topic of the show was about lying, which I thought was boring. 

Oprah was dressed in this grey pantsuit.  The production assistant told her to relax her breasts as they were sticking out and Oprah said they were just excited because of the audience. That was funny.   I sat in the 2nd row on the right side, facing the stage.  It was a fun experience.     I was disappointed that Oprah didn't come out to the audience to ask questions like she used to do.  The show was more focused on her.
