Our fairy tale story is over.  We had lunch at a Tia place near Sonoma’s.  The limo soon arrived and took us back to the Airport.  The line was long but we made our flight ok.  It was good to be back in Gainesville.  My 15 minutes of fame was over.  It was a great [...]

Cinderella

Monday, February 16th, 2009

I’ve never been to a “Ball” before.  I envisioned a large room with lots of beautifully decorated tables and people doing the waltz.  Kinda like Cinderella.  I wasn’t sure if my dress would be considered a Ball Gown or not.  Everyone wanted to know what dress I was going to wear.  I got my dress from [...]

I still get emotional when I think of this day.  Why……I’m not sure but I’m not alone.  CNN had contacted me earlier and had arranged for a car to pick Chris and I up at our hotel.  They wanted us to come to their studio and do an interview.  This was exciting!  We had to [...]

One great piece of news I received when I arrived at our hotel was that we were invited to the Bipartisan Dinner honoring Vice President-elect Joseph R. Biden.  This event was tonight at the Union Station.  Our names were on the list!  It sure beats watching Two and a Half Men on Monday nights.  Sorry Charlie.

Not knowing anything about DC I stopped at the front desk to ask about some local restaurants.  Good news, the one I wanted to try was just around the corner.  It was called Sonoma.  I took off on foot and couldn’t find the damn thing anywhere.  I must have walked around for an hour.  I [...]
