A Full Week

Well, we packed a lot into this week. On Tuesday Jana and I went to see a taping of "Jeopardy." It was a lot of fun to see how it's done. Alex Trebek and Johnnie Gilbert interacted with the audience a lot, answering questions and talking about the program. We were there about 3 hours and saw 3 shows taped. They will air March 12, 13, & 14 (if I remember correctly). I'll remind all of us to watch on those days. You might be able to see us when they scan the audience. Jana and I are in the front row on the right side (as seen on camera). There is a left side where guests of contestants were sitting.

Then on Thursday, Joyce and I went to see a taping of "Wheel of Fortune." Again, it was a blast. The stage is smaller than it seems when you see it on television. Pat Sajak and Vanna White didn't interact with us as much as the people on Jeopardy but Charlie O'Donnel, the announcer, and one of the other leaders spent lots of time answering questions. Again we watched 3 shows being taped. They will air February 26, 27, & 28. Joyce and I are in the 3rd row pretty much in the middle.

And to top all of this, Joyce and I went to the Target World Challenge golf tournament in Thousand Oaks on Friday. We got to see Tiger Woods make a 40 foot birdie putt on the 9th green and then finish one in front. We also sat on the front row as all the players teed off to begin the round. I followed them for a few holes but not all the way around. The Sherwood Oaks Club course is absolutely beautiful. The houses surrounding it... well, they aren't houses, they are castles! The next day we toured the Ronald Reagan Library in Simi Valley.

Then we went to church 1 1/2 times on Sunday so we could see Josiah sing in the program. What a week! It was great.


And there was time for some photos. Notice the smile on grandma and grandpa. Need I say more?
