Okay Simon, I may have missed it. What movie are you in. Please share your celebrity news!

I missed it too Simon!! Brad Pitt!!!! DETAILS PLEASE!

When you get some I'd love to hear from you some more!

I'm not sure what you are referring to here - grandkids, maybe? Our oldest just graduated from college and is back in Fort Worth working at the same company as my husband/her daddy, so they're both pretty happy about that! Daughter #2 is home for the summer after her first year at Texas A&M. Daughter #3 will be here for another year, then she will be off to college. Since there currently aren't any young men in the picture for any of them (won't ever be in the case of DD#2....), grandkids aren't on the horizon for a while yet!

I hear they're lots of fun - my friends from high school certainly enjoy them! My parents always enjoyed having the kids visit them for the summer; they're getting a little too old for that now, but our youngest may be able to still go and visit them in a few years (she has Down syndrome) - she is still pretty active, but she should be willing to be around Granny and Papa well into her teen years (something that the others weren't too keen on....).

Stay cool this July 4th - I know that's hard anywhere in Texas!

Hey Erin,

I'm so happy to hear Lilli will be visiting soon! She's going to be so happy to see you she won't even notice your weight sweety, so don't even think about it! I can't wait to hear all about your girly things! Glad to hear your leg is doing better. Hope you're feeling better too!

My son flew almost 3,000 miles to be home for my birthday!!! What a surprise that was...he's the best!!! We had the most wonderful 3 days, but he had to go back today. I usually only drive a few miles a week. Today I drove him to the train station, which is about an hour away, drove back and did some grocery shopping. Did all that and didn't have to take even one Mestinon! My eyes have been great and I've been feeling pretty strong the past couple of weeks. Taking it one day at a time...

Simon...come on, share the good news!

Hugs,
Pat

Ok, ok....in 2007, Brad Pitt and Sean Penn filmed a movie in the city where I work in Texas. I was an extra and got to spend 3 days filming with them and got to visit with Brad each day on the set. He is a real nice guy..with lots of money....!!!! The movie will hopefully be coming out around Christmas and is titled "The Tree of Life". That's all I can say right now....don't want to get in trouble! It was an experience of a lifetime...and my 15 minutes of fame! Look out Academy Awards!!! Hope that peaks your interest.....be watching for me....and not just Brad!!!

Wow Simon how exciting for you! Can't wait to see the movie!

Hugs,
Pat

That must have been such a wonderful experience Simon!! Can't wait to see you in the movie ... and perhaps to hear more anecdotes later! (lol)

What surprises me a bit is that they filmed in 2007 and it won't be distributed til end of 2010. I had no idea lead times were that long in the movie business!


Hope you're having a 'strong' day!
Sue

Wow Simon! Can't wait to see you and Brad.
