Oprah: Day Four

We journeyed home on Wednesday. But oh what a ride it was. Check out my silly sisters riding outfit. Just cracked me up.

We saw the world largest covered wagon. Except the cover was being repaired after some wind damage. And Debbie got a nasty splinter on that wooden fence.

We returned to Springfield to visit the Funeral Museum which was closed on Monday. It was really fascinating and very quirky. We learned all about the embalming, funeral practices, and about Lincoln's funerals. This Cowboy coffin is a replica of Lincoln's. Just as we watched the video about Lincoln's funerals (there was one in every city that the funeral train visited) Deb leaned over and said "you have very, very bad breath it smells like a dead cats." Which of course made me laugh hysterically right in the middle of the hearses and mourning attire. This was also not the place to wear the "come on be happy" partridge family tshirt. We left with little chocolate coffins.

We rolled in to home about 11 with four days absolutely full of fun memories.
Oh yea we're "living our best life" now!
