Celebrity Saturday--Lisa Whelchel

Yes! It's Blair from "The Facts of Life"!

I met Lisa Whelchel in 2002 at an NRB conference in Nashville. She was there promoting her book The Facts of Life and Other Lessons My Father Taught Me, and I was there promoting Samaritan's Purse/Operation Christmas Child. I was so excited to meet Blair ... I mean Lisa! My sibs and I **loved** watching "The Facts of Life" when we were growing up. Mrs. G, Tootie, Natalie, Jo and the whole gang--they were the best!

Lisa Whelchel was very nice, by the way. She apparently speaks at events around the country and will be in Griffin, Georgia, in a few weeks. Check it out on her Web site.

Don't you just love my glasses? I had scratched my eye--which, by the way, is VERY painful--and couldn't wear contacts for a while.

Sing with me, please:
When the world never seems ... to be living up to your dreams ...
And suddenly you're finding out ... the facts of life are all about yoooouuuu ...
Yoouuu-uuu-uuu-uuu-uuuuuuu

  3. My first thought after cool, loved that show, people use to think I was witty like Nat.....was. "wow, her roots are pretty dark, she needs a touch up". I feel bad for thinking this as I have heard she is really nice and a good speaker. You really did get to meet some cool peops! Oh, and now I am singing that song written by Alan Thicke... :-) Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
