I was in the Sun on Christmas Day. Had an Ambush Makeover on the Today Show, 12/16, in NYC. Recently, our Clog 4 Fun group was in the Mix. We attempted to look like the Rockettes. We need lots more practice.

Default Photo featured twice

Yes, I was photographed to illustrate a feature about my having published a childrens' book last year (The Worm Tickler), and I was interviewed and appear in TWO photographs in yesterday's DS (1/10) concerning yoga classes for "seniors". There I am on the front page no less - posed above Mitt Romney's head (LOL), and again on the front cover of the Leisure section. Cue music to "Fame"... LOL

I was in an issue at the end of November when a reporter came to one of the ukelele groups I am in and took pictures and did an article. Didn't like the fat neck angle , but then it is what it is. At least it doesn't stop me from playing. Looking forward to getting back into the groove. It isn't as much fun playing by myself up here in the cold.

Default Ambush - Kirk

Kirk, my hsband and I were watching the tv and saw you and your wife featured in the Ambush Makeover part of the show. Your wife looked fabulous, both before and after.

I was in the Sun yesterday, in the collection of photos of the Renaissance Festival.....I was petting a horse! I told my mom, and she told me I needed to mail the pic to her......

I was afraid my picture might scare small children and pets!

A picture of everyone who attended my 60th birthday party was in the Daily Sun four years ago. I didn't know my friend had submitted it and was thrilled when I saw it.

A long time ago I was at Laural Manor for "government day" and George Horseford took my picture. It was in the newspaper the following day but no one ever said anything about it.

Once there was a picture and story about a woman who was retiring from wendy's. It was interesting because she was about 90 years old. For some reason I lingered over it.....I kept looking at the picture. Then, to my surprise, I saw a friend of mine sitting at a table in the background. It was surprising and funny at the same time. I called her to tell her about it and we got together for lunch.

Several years ago I had my picture taken by George Horseford at the grand opening of a new Citizen's Bank. Thankfully, it was never published.
