Here is my entry for Debbie’s, Travel With Intent blog, One Word Sunday Challenge. Yes, this post is all about when Chris Donner, my wife, had her 15 minutes of fame. I thought I’d bring it back for a few more minutes of it.
At one of our first car shows where we took photos, Chris took this photo of an advertising gimmick of a tiger tail. She had it posted on a Redbubble page, many years ago now.

A year or so later, Mike Wolfe from the TV show American Pickers emailed Chris and asked if he could use her photo on his show. Of course she said yes.

Chris’s photo credit line is the 4th one up from the bottom on the left.

I’ve gathered a list of challenges and their hosts. So if you know a challenge host, please direct them to my blog. Feel free to contact me anytime. I hope everyone will be able to use my lists.

Well this story just stood out to me – and actually I have a very short memory with many things blogging – even with my own posts I can go back and ask, “Wow – did I write that?” hahaha
but this stood out

Once when she was balloon twisting to entertain kids who were waiting to see the Cookie Monster, the kids said they liked her balloon animals more than the Cookie Monster. Now that is saying something. I wasn’t there to photograph the event though.

I would never have taken that photo (and didn’t) because I wasn’t old enough to remember it 😀
