I am Molly and Katie's Mom, Martin's wife and Michaela's Grandma. That doesn't make me famous, but it makes me happy.

Lou Rawls sang to me and my husband on our wedding night in a theatre in Las Vegas. I really love his music!

My daughter said they were both rude and extremely snobbish and started a scene when the store wouldn't open a checkout just for them!

Oh, yeah. Just remembered as a teenager I was on TV on a local news program about the upcoming county Farm Bureau Queen Contest. Yes, I was a contestant, actually two years in a row, but no, I did not win either time.

Great story, I love that movie. I met Jack Lemon when he was making a movie. Donald Sutherland too. Then there was Ted Kennedy when he was in Toronto many years ago. The one that matters most is being a child of the King.

I got to go backstage for a Santana concert. Sat in the side stage on their equipment boxes for the entire concert, then got to meet Carlo Santana & his band afterwards. My ex-husband would be jealous if he knew. I had no clue who Carlo Santana was until we met. They remain one of my favorite groups.
