Celebrity Saturday--Paula Deen

It's Paula Deen, y'all! On Friday of last week (Good Friday), we met Mrs. Deen at a booksigning at a Kroger in Sandy Springs. The weather was questionable (we had some storms later that evening), so we were on the fence about whether to go. But at the last minute, we decided to venture out and see what we could see.

We got there toward the last part of the event, but there was still time to buy a book and get in line. Tanna bought Paula Deen's My First Cookbook for Kate--an excellent choice. It is a really cute book, and Kate loves to look at it and turn the pages.

After a brief wait in line, it was our turn to get our book signed. Tanna snapped a few photos while we said hello to Paula Deen and her DH, Michael Groover. Flat Stanley was with us for the occasion, and when she spied him, Paula Deen said, "Oh, you have a Flat Stanley!" She was more than happy to have a photo made with him! :o) Our book had been autographed and there were more people waiting, so we exchanged pleasantries and Kate blew Paula Deen a kiss--and Paula Deen blew one back to her. So sweet.

It was a fun outing, and we are glad we went! I'll have to write about eating at The Lady & Sons, Paula Deen's restaurant in Savannah, one day soon. Until then, here are a few photos from last week:
