Well, Jamie and I had the opportunity to go see Paula Deen in Albany Thursday night, and boy are we glad we went!! First off, there was a silent auction, so I did a little bidding. I won a 4D ultrasound for $50- and for those of you who have had one done- what a great deal!!! Then, we got to eat. Now, I'm not talking about bird food eating. I'm talking about the butter, lard, and high-in-cholesterol eating!!! Paula brought her ladies who cook at Lady and Sons in Savannah, and they fixed our meal!! And boy, was it good. Now, on to the best part. Paula spoke for about 45 minutes (Jamie and I wished it was a bit longer), and she spoke directly from her heart. She is such an awesome and dynamic lady, and she deserves everything that's come her way. She started out in Savannah with $200 for her catering service. And look where she is now!!! She overcame huge trials and adversity, to become what she wanted to be. To me, anyone should be admired for that. And, she gave us a great lesson: If you have family and friends who love and support you, you can do anything you set your mind to!!! WOW!! How often do we continue on in our lives, and get to a point and think, I can't do this?? With God, your family and friends, anything is possible, and she is a testament to that. Well, maybe next year we can all go- I'll be there with bells on!!!
