It was a bitter cold day in Marietta, Georgia, but it was warm and inviting inside Sam’s Club. I was greeted with gorgeous flowers, smiles, and enough balloons to celebrate an inaugural, which in many ways this was. Pictured with me here is Lin, a wonderful woman and photographer who took care of me from the moment I entered the door to the moment I left. Lin was my ballast, and oh, did I need her!

Below are some random shots from my whirlwind adventure. I want to thank everyone at Sam’s Club and all the wonderful customers who made me feel so welcome and so special. It was a terrific day, and I made some new friends. And as you’ll see, even a few tears of happiness were shed. I’m so grateful to have had this opportunity, and, oh, what a memory its given me.
