* LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER *

This afternoon I decided I would share my exciting news about being one of 30 women in the St. Louis area, chosen for a reading audition, for Listen to Your Mother.


Approximately 12 out of the 30 women will be chosen to read their true story in front of a live audience on Saturday, May 11.....the day before Mother's Day. 

My story is titled: Were Those Salad Tongs?  

I didn't want to mention it any sooner because I wanted to wait and see how it went today. Fortunately, it went well!

* I am friends with three of the other women who were also chosen to audition! Patt, Kim, & Linda. 

Patt, Kim, and I are also members of Saturday Writers

  15. Congratulations, Becky. I am glad for you about the reading call.

    Thank you too about the nose consolation. I am fine now, it was done Feb 4. Not pain now although the skin was pulled so hard that it did hurt the first couple of days.

    And I ordered another Sony from Amazon dot com yesterday. It is an upgrade from the one I ruined but since it was a 2012 model I got a BIG price break.
