Movie Magic - Updated

The circus has officially come to town! The production of the movie Public Enemies has undertaken it's filming here in Oshkosh of all places. I went with my sister to check out what was going on and it was complete shenanigans! We didn't get any great views, but we had a great time checking things out. The most amusing/annoying part was all of the people claiming they were seeing Johnny Depp or Christian Bale. Unless they had go-go-gadget eyes there wasn't any good way of determining who was who. Ah well. The whole state is buzzing about the movie as several other cities have been chosen for filming as well. I plan on making several more treks out there,
but I am not expecting on taking any great pictures of the cast.

Update: pictures!!

Filming the bank robbery at the Masonic Temple.

This is the shot not zoomed in. We really weren't very close at all!


They put a trolley in front of the library!!

Yellow Kicks

By now I am entirely ready for spring. I think the perfect way to prepare would be to get a pair of yellow shoes.Anne Klein

The Windy City

I spent last weekend in Chicago. I had such a great time. It was nice to get out and spend some time with a dear friend.


We did nothing exceptionally unusual. We saw some of the famous sites and I had the most amazing time! We went to Navy Pier. I think the time to go would be when it is warmer.


We spent some time shopping on Michigan Avenue.

We went to Water Tower Place.

We went to the Field Museum. This museum is amazing. It is so huge, and we were only able to see about half of it before we were too tuckered out to continue. I cannot wait to go back!

Pegboard

In order to free up some much needed space in my parents small kitchen I suggested that they put up some pegboard to hang their pots, pans, utensils and other items. Here is how it looks. If I had done it in my place I would have put a frame around the pegboard and I would have painted it as well. Oh yeah, I would put the broom and dust pan somewhere else, maybe on a different pegboard for cleaning supplies!


At any rate, it gets the job done quite nicely!

Cotton Candy

We took my nephew to a carnival last week. He ate cotton candy for the first time ever. He approached it with a small amount of uncertainty, but once he dug in he really enjoyed it.






Once he had had enough he gave the rest to my dad.

Whoa dad, no one is going to steal that cotton candy away from you okay!

Bow Wow Popcorn

My dad bought some of this bacon flavored microwave popcorn for dogs. I busted it out (the stuff had a pretty awful smell) but that did not stop the dog from wolfing it down!

Happy Birthday Little Sister!

Happy Birthday Nina! You have definitely gotten cuter with age!!
