After 3 hours we arrived at our destination. There was no line out the door so we figured we were early enough to get a good spot to meet Ree.
Then we saw this!
We did manage to find a good spot to stand for the next 2 hours. Ree got lost in traffic and was a bit late. She arrived a bit flustered and came in the wrong entrance. The person who was to meet her at the entrance couldn't get to her and she ended up trying to talk into the mike stand. She handled it in her usual self-depreciating way and got a good laugh from the crowd.
She took questions from the audience and even sang a bit of Ethel Merman. The exciting news was that she is in talks with Hollywood-types to make a movie of "Black Heels to Tractor Wheels" and that Reese Witherspoon has expressed interest in playing Ree!
A few hours later.....Our numbers were finally called and we got to meet Ree. "
I'm from Oklahoma, too!" I babbled excitedly. I'm sure she was thrilled.
I'm from Oklahoma, too!" I babbled excitedly. I'm sure she was thrilled.Actually, she was quite kind. She had a short conversation with everyone who came up to her and smiled and laughed the entire time. I'm sure we are best friends now and I'll be invited to the lodge very soon. I mean...look what she wrote in my book!
