It is not every day that  one of Time Magazine’s noted top 25 bloggers visits us, but, last week The Pioneer Woman Ree and Marlboro Man Ladd Drummond and their four children dropped in for a visit. They  were en route to Waurika.

Carla Hinton took the children on a tour of the press facilities and NewsOk’s Video/Web TV Studio.

Ree noted that the The Pioneer Woman cookbook would be out soon. This celebrity blogger enjoys every aspect of the The Pioneer Woman.com blog and both Drummonds know the details about their Web site. One entry post had 16,000 hits on one day.

Come back soon…The Pioneer Woman and family.
