Me In The Middle!

Today was a fun day and we had a lot of visitors come out to see our ranch. Unfortunately, no one adopted one of our dogs, but we enjoyed giving them tours and meeting the people.

This afternoon while I was on the phone having a fun visit with my friend, Reverend Analea Rawson, the minister of the Unity Church of Austin, I had to get off of the phone, because Kim Williamson and her husband Brian of the popular Kerrville television station KVHC 15 arrived to tape me in advance with some of our dogs for the show that I will be doing about my new book.

Tomorrow afternoon at the television station is when Kim will interview me. The show will air on Monday at 7:30 AM and then a few more times during the day. They told me that it will be on the internet also, so anyone who wants to watch me make a fool out of myself on TV please check out:
www.kvhc.com and click on the the little yellow TV near the bottom of the screen.

As always I am a little bit nervous about being on TV, especially since the last time that I was on KVHC, with Sponge Bob Diaper Pants—I was covered in poop and we stunk to high heaven. But I think that I will be okay this time, since Tone will be there in the audience and I will have one of our dogs sitting beside me.

When I got off of the phone with Analea I went into Outer Space to join Kim, Brian and Tony. We had a fun visit and then we took off for the pens, so Kim could shoot me with some of our dogs, because they want to show some of the footage while Kim is interviewing me.

Our first stop was at Nellybelle's and Hank's pen and here is a short video clip that T. took of Kim shooting Hank and me. We then went to several more dog pens and I introduced the dogs and talked about them as Kim took videos.

When we were done with the taping Tony took this picture of Brian, me in the middle and Kim.

After T. took this picture of us Kim asked me if I was hot, since it was ninety-five degrees outside. "Yes, I am burning up, Kim. I purposefully wore this dark navy, long sleeved t-shirt, so I wouldn't look fat in front of the camera." Kim and Brian laughed. "I'm serious, y'all."

Before leaving Kim and Brian wanted to meet our pigs. While we introduced them to them and Kim shot them—Lois Lane, who is staying in the front yard of my writing cabin, which is next door to the pigpen started barking at us and that is when I pulled a fast one on T. "Kim, why don't you shoot Tony talking about Lois Lane? He is Lois Lane's Super Man."

With Kim's camera focused on Tony as he changed out the water in Lois' water bucket and talked about her—I turned on my camera and shot him, too! Here is a short video clip of Tone with Lois.

After we said goodbye to Kim and Brian and they drove away we came inside the trailer and that is when I turned into Nervous Nancy. "Tony, what do you think I should wear tomorrow? I love my overalls, but they make me look fat. I could wear my new cotton candy, pink colored Crocs with my jeans or..."

"I don't know. Which dog do you want to take to the station?"

"I don't know," I said, as I refilled our dog's water bowl. "Ben Stiller would be a good one, but he will be taller than me if he sits next to me on the couch. Maybe I should wear dark clothes like I did today, so I don't look fat. My muffin top could blend in nicely with Ben's black coat?"

Fifteen minutes later our conversation was over and T. was back in his office—harvesting a crop. As I type this I still don't know what to wear or which dog to bring with me to the station tomorrow and I just remembered that Mercury is still in retrograde, so I am sure that if anything can go wrong tomorrow—it will.

I am fixin' to pop some popcorn and sit down and watch, "Dan In Real Life" or "Something's Gotta Give." I love both of those movies.

P.S. Mark—Welcome to Texas! We can't wait to meet you!

Y'all have a great evening!
