Twyla dear, I know you often have opportunities to rub elbows with celebs. When you run back here to tell us about it, I sit here starry eyed and soak it all in. Well, today Twyla I had my own little encounter and it put a smile on my face for the rest of the afternoon.
Here goes. I climbed into my elderly car and headed out to the local Walmart to buy groceries for the week. I was a bit tired because I had been running around all day and I was feeling a bit sorry for myself because I am the only one around here that is capable of doing all the errands. I dropped off a bill and then headed out of town. Stopped at a light, I watched two people cross the street in front of me. Just feet from me actually. The woman was slight and attractive, no makeup but a wild head of hair and a slender body in jeans and dark shirt. A young man was laughing and chatting with her which made me grin, and THEN it hit me. It was Rhea Perlman. Danny Devito's wife, and a wonderful actress in her own right. I used to howl when I watched her on Cheers. (By the way, she is so much more attractive in person! She is 60 and doesn't look more than early 40's.) She and Danny have a son who is a student in the local college and they are visiting this weekend.
So. Did I scream out the window.... I LOVED YOU IN CHEERS RHEA! ?? Did I wave madly, or perhaps even stop the car and ask for an autograph? No. I thought I'd let her continue her private moment with her son, walking down the street in a little town in the middle of nowhere. I thought I'd let her be "regular people" for another moment. And me? I drove out to Walmart feeling a little more special and glad it was ME running the errands.
Just wanted to share my encounter with my SC friends. I hope you had a little sparkle in your day too!
