Dinner with the
Governor! Exciting, for sure! Thank you for the invitation and the
wonderful dinner. My tender salmon didn't even need tartar sauce. My
pride list continues getting
longer as tonight became my third dinner with a potential president of
the United States.
I enjoyed
meeting you face-to-face and shaking your hand.
I'm sorry your
wife Janet didn't join us. But as you said, grand kids come first
ahead of traveling. Congratulations on forty years of marriage.
Craig and I recently celebrated number fifty-one, but we're lots
older, too.
You looked
relaxed playing base guitar with Shelly James and her Musicbox. My
husband and I didn't stay for dancing afterwards either. Didn't you
love her version of Amazing Grace? I'm glad you asked her to sing
“America the Beautiful”.
You made me
laugh when you told your story of a woman concerned about your being
a former pastor and a presidential candidate. When she asked if you
believed only Baptists will go to heaven, you said, “No, I
believe not all Baptists will go to heaven.”
Your handling
of the Q&A session impressed me. You didn't avoid any questions
and didn't need a teleprompter for your speech.
Craig wanted to
tell you that he also lived one generation away from
no electricity and poverty.
I didn't
realize Lava soap had the
reputation of a strong exfoliator, but I'm not brave enough to
purchase it. Did that brand
honestly burn your skin as a child? What happened to Lifebuoy?
We enjoyed the
evening with you. Thanks for honoring our veterans and believing in our
country!
Sincerely,
Juanita
