Drizzle and cold temps today cannot stop the swell of love... It is pervasive, like the wind, always moving.
Today in Athens, Tennessee, I took a stroll to the Living Heritage Museum where I saw the VERY FIRST IPAD!!!! It's called a "Sampler" and you may have seen them without even knowing it! Special thanks to Mary, who hosted my visit! Then, my visit with LHM Exec. Director Ashley Rush blew my mind with ideas and strategy to keep audio and video content coming your way! (Feel the love??)
I needed to get Thank You Notes for Ashley and I wanted THE BEST for her... So on my way threw downtown, I stopped at Greek's Bearing Gifts, which is just-Aaaaaaah! A breath of fresh air! I'm sure I drove the sales clerk crazy, but she didn't let on, answering question after question about paper! I wanted just the right colors. "Blush and Bashful." If you are a Steel Magnolias devotee as I am then I'm sure you will understand! (I think "Blush and Bashful" are sorority colors too...Someone can fill me in on that...)
Right next door is the Athens Chamber of Commerce, where Chamber President Rob Preston told me three stories...

- Meeting First Lady Barbara Bush and the Secret Police!!!
- Steve Scheibner, American Airlines pilot originally scheduled to pilot the first plane to hit the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. He's coming to town in honor of all McMinn County service women. Mark your calendars for Friday, March 9, 2012. Tickets are $10. Call 423-745-0334
- Tanya, who was on my radio show back in December... I knew Tanya served the homeless. What I didn't know was that after loosing her regular job, she was so burdened to help the homeless that she just started feeding them, taking them food out in the woods! I hope to speak with Tanya again soon...
Keep our family in your prayers, too! We're strategizing and partnering to see and hear and SHARE these stories with you here online. If you have an idea, comment or would like to sponsor the new venture, please let me know!
I'll be staying in touch with you!
