Yesterday I was invited to talk about The Accidental Salvation of Gracie Lee with Alyse Eady, local THV11 Little Rock news anchor, and food blogger Debbie Arnold (Dining with Debbie). The whole television thing was interesting and fun and completely new to me. I had no idea what to expect which was a good thing because I didn’t have a chance to overthink it or stress too much. Our segment was live. No do-overs.
Why, yes, I travel with cotton.

When it was over, I had no idea what I said. All I could think about was the smell of that meatloaf right underneath my nose. Click HERE for the recipe.
I’ve been on the airwaves three times in my life and 66.666666% of the time has been with Debbie Arnold.
The first time was in 1976 or so. My friend Anita and I showed up one morning at the WHBQ radio station in Memphis. Somehow we got not only inside the building but on air with Rick Dees. (Whether you know it or not, in our neck of the Delta in the mid-70s, Rick Dees was a thing.)
Our motive was to get matching Rick Dees t-shirts for our cheerleading squad. He not only accommodated us but interviewed us on air. I was tongue-tied and Anita did most of the talking. A few weeks later, we rocked those t-shirts at the Arkansas State Cheerleader Camp. We were cool (in our own minds) that way.
The second time was a few years ago when Debbie and I (and several other ladies) went on an Arkansas Women Blogger trip to Helena and ended up on air with Sonny “Sunshine” Payne on the King Biscuit Time Radio Show.
And now this.
I think I’ll keep hanging with Debbie Arnold.
You, too, Peter.

You did great! Sooo cool under pressure. Like I said, you looked like a seasoned pro! And to think my undergrad was in R-TV broadcasting from ASU- and I’ve never made it to TV except once when I worked at a hospital and a newborn baby was left in the Chapel – on Mothers Day. After the incident was reported, the media flocked around and I was the one interviewed. (Goodness, I often think about that precious one. She would be 21 this Mothers Day.) Now that I think back, I produced and directed a short TV cooking show in college but my friend, Diana was the STAR. Then I had a show on the radio called, “The Woman’s View” – I always wanted to do something like Dr Laura, giving advice on the radio. Never too late, the fat lady ain’t sang yet! HaHa
Haha that’s true Cindy. Keep on keeping on. And thanks! You know I appreciate your support.

I watched the segment again last night with Terry. You looked like a pro.
Aww thank you.
Very professional! I’m so proud of you. I’m still neglecting Isaac, but I did present a proposal that was accepted, and I will be reading my paper, “The Road Not Taken: Comparing Cather’s “One of Ours” with World War I Poems” at the June Willa Cather Conference and Symposium. You inspire me!
That’s fantastic Lyn! And thank you!
So awesome!
So happy for you, girl. Glad I know you.
Thank you so much, Pat. I’m glad I know you too!
You were cool and acted as if you do that sort of thing on a regular basis! So glad to share in the fun with you:)
Thank you Debbie. But you’re the pro! Thanks for making that happen. I so appreciate your support and encouragement.
