Hiya Hazel - speaking of being philosophical . . . Rosie is leaving “The View” and I’m sure everyone at “The View” is crying about her departure. The meanness, the personal attacks, the grossness. There’s just so much to miss! Rosie wrote the following on her website.

“When painting there is a point u must step away from the canvas as the work is done,” she wrote. “Any more would take away.”

That is hilarious - Rosie waxing philosophical about her train-wreck of a sojourn on “The View.” She’s right, though - she’s taken enough away from the integrity and humanity of the show. Her damage . . . er I mean work IS done.

TTFN,

Hey Hazel - Guess what? I really hate to be a name-dropper - not, but I was eating dinner tonight and who should be in the same restaurant but Darrell Waltrip. It made me wonder about the whole topic of name-dropping. Does the fact that I had dinner tonight in the same retaurant as Darrell Waltrip really reflect anything about me? It wasn’t a fancy restaurant. As a matter of fact, it was a Cracker Barrell. You can’t get more everyday-ordinary-person than eating at the Cracker Barrell.

So do you think more of me now - seeing as how I had dinner in the same restaurant as Old D.W.?

TTFN,

Adeline,

You could have just written that you had dinner with Darrell Waltrip and left it at that! No one would have known that you just happened to be at the same restaurant at the same time and that the restaurant was Cracker Barrell. But even at that, I don’t think it would have changed anyone’s opinion of you. Then again, maybe it would.

I really like Cracker Barrell

Till Later,
Hazel
