To preface this blog…I think I have mentioned before
that I was a sorority girl. It’s a badge of honor that never dies. Never. Sometimes,
the urge to use a glue gun and glitter just hits you and you just have to go with it!
When our good friend
Brandi Hodges arrived to visit us for the holidays in New York, she brought
along more than just suitcases. She’s a
reporter for our old television station in Jonesboro, Arkansas and managed to
score the hook up for VIP tickets to Good Morning America! Being from the South, we were raised to never drop in on someone empty handed. So we knew we needed to prepare…
Before we hauled Brandi to NYC, we thought there were some things she needed to see in Albany. We spent her first
evening in New York hitting the highlights.
- A trip to Cohoes Falls. Sorry the temperatures were in the single digits, we think Brandi really enjoyed the view even though her eyes were frozen.
- Our favorite Italian Bakery, Bella Napoli in Latham. Welcome to Cannoli country!
-
and of course a
journey to mecca…the two story Wal-Mart in Albany! (What self respecting Arkansasan wouldn’t make the trip there?)At the most amazing Wal-mart in America, we found poster board to create these beauties for our national television debut.
Brett actually made the Weather Channel once when reporting on flooding in Arkansas, so he didn’t get to join the first timer’s club.
I’m sure our signs are the most fabulous things America has ever seen, just as long as no one blinks! See, I told you sorority skills never die!
