Lights Camera Action

Yes, I got to be in front of the cameras again.

The first time was for a small low budget local movie called War at Home. I was an extra and spent the day under the lights. It was fun but I do not think the movie even made it past filming. It was a fluke. But still a fun experience.

The 2nd time was when I lost 50lbs on Nutrisystem. I was invited to be a success story and share my success on TV, Ads, Social Media, Coupons, etc. It was star treatment for a week. 

The 3rd time was a year later, again with Nutrisystem while I was still promoting them. You can read my success story HERE.

This time was for the county I work for. They chose a few volunteers to promote local breweries around town. I got off work early two days in a row and met up with the group. There were three of us. We had a great time. 

Durty Bull Brewing 

They drove us around in a nice county vehicle as we visited 8 breweries in 12 hours. We got to sip different beers and ales (is that the same thing?) and sampled several appetizers and main dishes. It was all for the promotions of what each one offered for fun and entertainment, so we got the best of show. 

Traust Brewing 

I do not drink beer, but for the filming I was able to toast to friends, laugh and get a taste of local brews. I learned a little bit of history and saw places I have never seen before. Little did they know, I have never been inside a brewery around here until now. I have been to a brewery at the beach and Charlotte but stayed outside in the open air. 

Southern Artisan

We are not finished yet. We have more to visit soon as we continue filming. This will be like an infomercial that will be shown on the counties websites and around local areas. Breweries are just a few of the things our county has to offer along with outdoor activities, new restaurants, entertainment and walking/hiking trails. 

Believe it or not, I am actually camera shy so this was also a therapeutic experience for me. I have a couple insecurities about myself and hopefully this will help me over come some of them. It will be exciting to see how it turns out.

Stay tuned.

Happy Easter

Before it gets to late, I want to tell all my readers “happy Easter”.

I finally decided to write another blog post and my keypad was dead. So it is now on the charger and I’m doing my best here to type using the screen key pad. I blog using my iPad so the key pad is is like typing on my iphone. 

I have had a fun but tiring Easter, 

My daughter came home Saturday so she could spend Easter with us and attend church services.

Saturday, we did not dye eggs as usual but we did do a little crafting. We made custom trucker hats.

I had been collecting iron on patches from Temu and Amazon. I got the hats from Hobby Lobby.

We talked and laughed as we created our hats. We had enough to make two apiece. I think they will be fun to wear at the beach. We will be headed there at the end if next week.

This morning, we got up early and headed to church for Sunrise service. I love how even on this cloudy day, the sun rose up over the church for a great display of warm light to remind us that Jesus is alive and the day is new. With in a few minutes, it disappeared back into the clouds. Afterwards, we headed inside for a full breakfast which my Mom and Dad always prepare.

After sunrise service and breakfast, we headed back home for a little rest and went back later for the 11:00 service. When we got back home, we enjoyed lunch with ham, potato salad and green beans. The rest of the day was spent relaxing. 

It was a good day but work will come early in he morning. 

Christ is Alive!
