Today’s Run: \u00a08.00 miles<\/p>\n
My son met a person today at the Piggly Wiggly. \u00a0They did the “dance” at the checkout. \u00a0You know the “dance” where you both get to the checkout at the same time and say, “You go”, \u00a0“No, no, You go” and back and forth until someone goes first?<\/p>\n
Well, this lady that my son met was a Grandma and had one of her granddaughters with her. \u00a0The little girl said to my son, “You talk funny”. \u00a0My son explained that he had moved here from a different state and that he had an accent.<\/p>\n
The grandmother asked where he was from and the conversation began…and eventually came around to me and my writing my stories for the regional magazine for the children.<\/p>\n
“Oh! \u00a0What stories?”<\/p>\n
“Ed Stakrispie, The Detective Hen.”<\/p>\n
“Oh! \u00a0My grandson loves Ed Stakrispie! \u00a0He walks around with a magnifying glass, says ‘cluck, cluck, cluck’ and flaps his arms like wings, just like Ed Stakrispie.”<\/p>\n
How sweet is that!?!<\/p>\n
So, this afternoon, after telling this story to my husband, he went and started a FB fan page (open group) for Ed Stakrispie fans! \u00a0There are photographs of Ed Stakrispie, Ginger The Hen and the other nine little hens from the stories.<\/p>\n
What a great guy I married! \u00a0Thanks dear!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
