Howdy bloggy pals!!!
It is Monday and that means it is cook off time. Sitting here in my hotel room thinking about all the excitement that last night held. I meet all the finalists finally. Got to visit with the people who have been working tirelessly behind the scenes.
As if all of that was not enough, finally we got a surprise visit from Paula Deen. She came in to our hospitality suite decked out just like a “real woman” on a Sunday evening. Paula was wearing her hair up in a bandana and had on a bathing suit complete with coverup. Just like you or me. A mother and Grandmother who probably had spent the summer day by the pool relaxing with family and or friends. Now that is the kind of woman I can hang with. She also brought along the elusive Aunt Peggy who had been her rock. I can relate. I have an Aunt Richadene who means the world to me!! After all the hugs and cheering Paula spoke truly from her heart. She was touched by all the stories and the fellowship that thousands of women have shared on the Real Women of Philadelphia site. Kind a miracle that it was cream cheese that brought all of us together. Well, I better go hop in the shower. I promise to take more pictures and will post them once I get home. Have a super week!!
