Grandma's Valentine



On Valentine's Day I received an unexpected---but pleasant surprise when the Producer of NBC's My Carolina Today called to ask me to fill-in as a co-host. One of their anchors had called in sick and they thought of me. They needed me at the studio in less than three hours to tape the show, which was scheduled to air later in the week. At the time I was passing out chocolates to parents at a local school.

Of course, I made it to the set, taped the show, took plenty of pictures and returned home. The next day I received the most wonderful belated Valentine's Day gift of all when my four-year-old grandson looked at the pictures I posted on my Facebook page and said, "Look grandma, there's Oprah!" He was pointing at me.

Gotta love him!

Well done - and how sweet that your grandson thought you were Oprah!

Val,

It's funny because I don't know how he could equate the fact that I was co-hosting a TV show based on the photos and that was a direect connection to Oprah. I guess kids are A LOT smarter than we give them credit for. Of course, I'm flattered! :)

Hello Beverly,
Your grandson is one smart young man. Congratulations!

Tally,

He's a little "charmer" for sure!

They picked the right person to co-host. Bev, you are a natural for a talk show. You're articulate, and you think fast on your seat. lol

As for your grandson, anything Oprah can do, so can you!
