About a month ago, I was telling our story of meeting Eddie Vedder to a woman who writes for our local newspaper. She said it was an awesome story, and it would be great for the paper. However, after checking everday, and not seeing it for over a month, I figured it was going to happen. Then last night, I get a phone call from my 88 year-old grandmother, who is all excited because she just finished reading the article. Of course, my daughter and I had to rush out and get a copy! Unfortunately the pictures of Eddie & my daughter and Eddie & I didn't make it to the online story, BUT they WERE in the newspaper!! I originally posted our story here, which has since racked up over 7,000 views (I still can't believe it). Here is the link to my original post:

    That was a really nice write-up! I remember your original story, thanks for sharing!

    [I know you will, but be sure to scrapbook/archive this...I recently had a close relative pass away and found among her things a scrapbook she'd made for me from when I was a kid, and it meant the WORLD to me...]
