00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:12.520
Okay, wonderful to have you back. And just for our

57
00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:17.399
listeners information can you share with them? You're like out

58
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:19.839

00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:21.480
Tell us where you're from?

60
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:25.560
Knottville, Tennessee and East Tennessee in seventy one degrees. Here,

61
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:29.519
I'm on the nineteen eighty two World stair stot and

62
00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:32.120
as you'll see behind me, that is our sunsphere.

63
00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:35.240
And actually it was on The Simpsons just.

64
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:38.600
A few weeks ago, you know, The Simpsons of Cartoons,

65
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:42.839
and they Bart Simpson came to Knoxville and the suns

66
00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:46.759
hehere was a whig museum. It was a real funny

67
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:49.800
little episode on the if you're a Simpsons flan, So

68
00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:50.920
that's where I'm from today.

69
00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:56.199
Okay, And just out of curiosity, Brenda, did you actually

70
00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:59.839
go to the nineteen eighty two Worlds Fair? Do you

71
00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:02.600
have any memories of it? Yes? I do.

72
00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:07.439
President Reagan actually came opening day and I had my

73
00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:10.399
son was born in nineteen eighty two, so I have

74
00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:13.360
some very fun memories of the nineteen eighty two As

75
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:16.920
matter of fact, Chromographics which is the company that I

76
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:19.720
was the president of for almost forty years, and we

77
00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:23.120
actually made licensed World Spare product.

78
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:25.360
In the museum.

79
00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:29.279
There's an actual nineteen eighty two World Spare museum, and

80
00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:31.920
memorabilia and our products are in there. We actually made

81
00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:35.079
a little miniature sunt sphere that's a little magnet that

82
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:36.439
goes up your refrigerator.

83
00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:37.759
Oh my gosh.

84
00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:42.279
Okay, so that's you know, that's where the clumsy business

85
00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:48.639
woman thing comes from, right, yes, yes, okay. And you

86
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:51.480
shared with us last week that you have had quite

87
00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:56.879
an extraordinary life. I find your life very interesting. Along

88
00:05:56.959 --> 00:06:00.279
with climbing Mount Everest, which we've already talked about out

89
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:05.240
on the last show, you've also shared some of the

90
00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:13.639
craziest places that you've slept. And I would like to

91
00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:17.959
kind of go through your book chapter by chapter so

92
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:21.079
we can talk about some of the places that you've

93
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:24.600
slept before we do that, though, How long did it

94
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:25.879
take you to write your book?

95
00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:27.560
About?

96
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:28.480
Ten years?

97
00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:31.120
Wow? Ten years? Well?

98
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:33.920
And it started the book was really going to be

99
00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:37.079
like a picture book with all my photographs, because that's

100
00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:40.839
really what it was about. I was trying to photograph

101
00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:44.800
to get a prize winning picture on natural geographic on

102
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:48.160
the cupboard, but I had so many pictures, so I

103
00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:49.680
was just going to put the pictures in like a

104
00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:52.959
coffee table book. But then people aren't really into coffee

105
00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:55.759
table books anymore. So then that's when the stories began.

106
00:06:56.199 --> 00:06:58.800
And then I started writing the stories, and I used

107
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:01.399
a lot of editors and a lot of guys that

108
00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:03.199
stay because I've never written a bit before.

109
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:04.399
This is my first book.

110
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:08.639
And then as time went on, I learned that I

111
00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:11.079
had editing on top of editing, because I had to

112
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:16.240
have a developmental entity editor, a line editor, a content

113
00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:19.639
editor and all that. So that's why it took probably

114
00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:25.360
two years of rewriting, just trying to polish, trying.

115
00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:26.360
To get it the best that I could.

116
00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:30.399
Yeah, I think that's a pretty good number for any book.

117
00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:34.279
All of my books have taken at least two years,

118
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:40.279
some of them maybe you know, sixty years. Now, let's

119
00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:43.920
talk about the you start off. We've talked about some

120
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:46.839
of these things in the previous show, but some of

121
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:49.319
the things I want to go back and touch on again.

122
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:55.120
Your first chapter is entitled under the Water, and tell

123
00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:58.199
us a little bit about how this chapter happened and

124
00:07:59.439 --> 00:07:59.959
wrote about it.

125
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:03.879
It was very serendipity. The book is about a twenty

126
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:08.680
five year period, and so that first chapter is I'm young.

127
00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:10.720
In a bikini.

128
00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:16.480
I'm scuba dive and I met a scuba dive instructor

129
00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:20.439
at a party and he had a class the next day.

130
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:23.279
He was the instructor, and so I signed up for

131
00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:25.800
the class. I grew up on the lake so I

132
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:29.959
could swim, but I just didn't have skubdami last and

133
00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:32.759
so that's that's where I started with the first chapter

134
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:35.759
was under the Water and then and then as we

135
00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:38.679
fast forward to about the twenty five thirty year period,

136
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:43.200
am staying at over the water there in San Diego

137
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:51.399
at Crystal Pier, and I'm older, you know, Gonauthrodis, you know, I'm.

138
00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:53.759
Just a lot older, and I wouldn't be call dead

139
00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:54.559
at a bikini.

140
00:08:56.200 --> 00:08:58.360
But that was kind of that was kind of my arc,

141
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:00.799
so to speak, that the under the under the water

142
00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:03.600
and then life happens. And then I'm staying over the

143
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:06.440
water because it had over the water instead of scuba

144
00:09:06.519 --> 00:09:10.200
diving down under the water like that first chapter. I

145
00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:14.919
pull up in my car and Birth Birth is a

146
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:17.639
character in my book, which is my seventy five pounds

147
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:21.919
Pumy soup bag which is the size of a small elephant.

148
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:25.399
But you just pull up to the car in the pier.

149
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:28.039
You have Crystal Pier, and then you just walk into

150
00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:30.559
where you stay. You actually are sleeping over the water.

151
00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:35.919
It was so much easier than scuba diving down It's

152
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:40.039
thirty feet under the water in Florida, and only certified

153
00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:43.159
scuba divers are allowed to stay there. But I started that,

154
00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:45.559
and I had to get a lot of help from

155
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:48.799
the publisher and from the editors because a lot of

156
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:54.799
people cannot imagine staying underwater. That it's hard to battle,

157
00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:57.679
you know, just being under the water and staying all

158
00:09:57.759 --> 00:09:59.960
night under the water. So that's why I started with

159
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:01.600
that chapter fire So well.

160
00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:07.960
Yeah, that's just fascinating. I would be totally claustrophobic. And

161
00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:12.039
then the interesting thing that you also shared with us

162
00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:16.240
at the last visit was that you then went into

163
00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:21.320
the scuba diving business with your husband, big head, and yeah,

164
00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:24.000
and you did that. Where did you do that in Florida?

165
00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:28.120
Yeah, we would start about people in Florida are also

166
00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:30.440
in our in our swimming pool, in our backyard.

167
00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:33.000
We would start about people there too.

168
00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:37.720
Oh okay, okay, that's great, Okay. And then so moving on,

169
00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:43.759
the next chapter is entitled with polar Bears. Now this

170
00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:46.320
has to be a chapter where it's going to get

171
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:47.639
pretty chilly, isn't it.

172
00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:53.080
Well that was a bizarre chapter too, because not a

173
00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:56.480
lot of people know about that. It's called Sleeping with

174
00:10:56.639 --> 00:11:01.039
the Polar bear experience because it's in Canada and you

175
00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:04.600
go out on a rolling tundra. It's a big, like

176
00:11:04.679 --> 00:11:07.960
a four wheel drive tundrum and it hooks up to

177
00:11:08.120 --> 00:11:12.559
different departments and you can you sleep in this rolling

178
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:16.399
tundra and then you see polar bears. It's in the

179
00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:22.320
around in Canada, and I think we saw like twenties.

180
00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:25.200
I saw like twenty something bears. And part of that

181
00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:29.600
story was Bigin did not go on that one, and

182
00:11:29.679 --> 00:11:33.320
he's cost We learned after the underwater hotel that he's

183
00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:38.200
lost a phobic so he would not have like staying. Literally,

184
00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:41.440
you sleep with strangers, but you have a you have

185
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:41.960
a buck.

186
00:11:42.159 --> 00:11:44.840
It's like a if you can imagine a school bus.

187
00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:47.480
With bikes on each side, or or like a train,

188
00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:49.840
more like a train, and you have bucks, and then

189
00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:50.759
you have your curtain.

190
00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:53.480
So the only thing between you and other people is

191
00:11:53.519 --> 00:11:54.240
just that curtain.

192
00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:59.759
But it was a phenomenal experience to see those polar bears.

193
00:11:59.799 --> 00:12:02.639
And and I was so excited about these polar bears

194
00:12:02.679 --> 00:12:05.120
because I thought this will be a photograph I could

195
00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:09.360
send into National Geographic. It will be award winning photograph

196
00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:12.840
with these bears. But the poor bears January.

197
00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:16.519
They were sick and hungry, and it was sad.

198
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:19.159
It was so sad to see these bears and and

199
00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:21.480
they have to keep going out further and feather, you know.

200
00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:24.279
To find food. So it was just kind of a sad.

201
00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:28.000
It was a sad experience too to see how the

202
00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:30.240
you know that with the global warming and all that,

203
00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:32.720
and how they put me out of that is affecting

204
00:12:32.759 --> 00:12:35.559
the polar bears. But I did get I got one

205
00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:38.919
picture by.

206
00:12:38.159 --> 00:12:42.240
Their uh a mama bear and two cubs. But then

207
00:12:42.440 --> 00:12:43.200
the sad story.

208
00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:45.399
But at the end of that chapter is that all

209
00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:49.440
my pictures, uh and I get really bad motion sickness.

210
00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:52.000
And I got really motion sick because you're wrote, you know,

211
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:56.039
it's moving on that tund But my picture, oh my trouble.

212
00:12:56.679 --> 00:13:00.799
All of my pictures were from blurry or they weren't good.

213
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:02.759
They just looked like white.

214
00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:08.000
Blogs looked like white blogs through my pictures. And part

215
00:13:08.039 --> 00:13:10.279
of my story is I'm showing my dad I'm my

216
00:13:10.360 --> 00:13:13.639
Daddy's girl and telling my dad he couldn't believe I

217
00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:16.440
stayed underwater a farmer.

218
00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:18.279
He's from the Great Depression.

219
00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:21.240
And then when I go stay with polar bears, he

220
00:13:21.320 --> 00:13:25.519
cannot believe that I that I went to this extreme

221
00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:30.000
and it was cold too, these polar bears, but the

222
00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:32.559
only thing, the only picture that I got that day

223
00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:36.080
was I got a picture of an Arctic fox. And

224
00:13:36.120 --> 00:13:39.039
you can see those pictures on my website under chapter

225
00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:41.960
two of the Arctic Fox, and you can see the

226
00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:44.399
rolling thunder, you can see the polar bear, the pictures

227
00:13:44.440 --> 00:13:45.679
I take that i'd taken.

228
00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:51.080
Yeah, and sharing this also with our listeners that Brenda

229
00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:55.799
and her husband big Ed. They're both incredible photographers and

230
00:13:55.960 --> 00:14:01.960
going to their her website is quite an adventure. The

231
00:14:02.039 --> 00:14:06.639
sad stopt part of that polar bear chapter is that,

232
00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:10.960
as you said, they have since becoming pretty much endangered

233
00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:16.399
and everyone's just so worried about the polar bears even surviving.

234
00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:23.279
And that's a real, uh sad, sad part of the story.

235
00:14:23.320 --> 00:14:27.039
And then briefly you talked about sleeping in a silo,

236
00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:30.360
just briefly talked about it already, but just touch on

237
00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:31.120
it briefly.

238
00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:37.120
Yeah, we're because my dad's a farmer. Uh, he could

239
00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:40.000
not believe that I was on a business trip and

240
00:14:40.279 --> 00:14:44.639
in Ohio and I stayed overnight, uh in.

241
00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:48.480
A silo in Ohio. And he could not believe that.

242
00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:50.799
And that is where the title comes from if you

243
00:14:51.159 --> 00:14:54.639
shop work where he could not believe that. I live

244
00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:57.360
in a silo and pay to sleep in a solo,

245
00:14:57.879 --> 00:15:00.720
and we have a solo in our backyard because we

246
00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:04.279
live on the farm. Our family is like nine generations

247
00:15:04.559 --> 00:15:07.600
on the same land. And my dad has a century farm,

248
00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:11.000
which means he's been he and his family have been

249
00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:13.559
farming on that same land for one hundred years.

250
00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:17.360
Oh wow, wow, No, And I bet I bet you

251
00:15:17.399 --> 00:15:20.080
could ask him. I bet he never slept in a silo,

252
00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:20.480
did he?

253
00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:22.720
Oh? Not at all, not at all.

254
00:15:23.200 --> 00:15:26.720
But it was a beautiful Uh it was, you know,

255
00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:29.080
because because of ours. It was nothing like the solid

256
00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:31.120
we have in our backyard, which is you know, you

257
00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:33.000
put great you know grain in there, you know, for

258
00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:35.720
the cattle. But it was nothing like that. It was

259
00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:39.440
a beautiful facility. They had done such a wonderful job.

260
00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:44.360
It was the Quaker Oats silo, and it's where they

261
00:15:44.399 --> 00:15:49.039
made the the Quaker oats, and it was their manufacturing facility,

262
00:15:49.039 --> 00:15:51.519
and it's where the oaks stayed. And they had a

263
00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:56.879
lot of nostalgic posters and pictures that decorated the walls.

264
00:15:56.919 --> 00:16:00.840
It was a beautiful facility. It was just shocked that

265
00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:01.279
it was so.

266
00:16:01.440 --> 00:16:02.440
It was so beautiful.

267
00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:05.360
I felt like Cinderella because it was not at all

268
00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:06.840
when I thought it was going to be. Like in

269
00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:10.159
My room was round, so it was like I was

270
00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:13.240
sleeping the bowl of you know, cerealround.

271
00:16:13.679 --> 00:16:17.960
It was just a round, little room and I could

272
00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:19.080
see out. I had a.

273
00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:22.320
Window and a slide and store, so that was good

274
00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:23.879
that I could actually see out.

275
00:16:24.320 --> 00:16:27.320
It was a rest. How many rooms or how many

276
00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:31.679
beds were in the silo? How many guests I'm trying.

277
00:16:31.399 --> 00:16:34.279
To think that's actually in there. It may be close

278
00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:37.919
to two hundred. And they have sense. And this is

279
00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:40.200
why I lived my life like every day might be

280
00:16:40.279 --> 00:16:43.639
our lives because people cannot even stay in that now.

281
00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:47.559
They closed it down for only students that are going

282
00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:50.120
to college there, so it's not even open to the

283
00:16:50.120 --> 00:16:53.279
public anymore. So I was so blessed to have stayed

284
00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:58.240
there and photographed it and been able to experience that

285
00:16:58.360 --> 00:17:01.039
because I wouldn't be able to stay there anymore.

286
00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:08.119
Well, I have lovers. I've never slept in a silo,

287
00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:11.400
but that's just the beginning. Listeners, wait, to hear all

288
00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:15.759
the other crazy places she's slept. But before, we're going

289
00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:18.519

Okay, perfect, and check that out. You'll enjoy it. Okay,

308
00:18:59.160 --> 00:19:03.720
now after you got out of the silo, and I

309
00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:06.880
keep thinking, oh, got yourself cleaned up or finished eating

310
00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:11.440
your cereal? Your lunch chapter is you slept in the

311
00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:12.640
belly of a dog.

312
00:19:13.559 --> 00:19:18.319
Yes, that's in the Idaho and that is the dog

313
00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:23.559
bark In And it's a wonderful facility because you literally

314
00:19:23.640 --> 00:19:26.720
sleep in the belly of the dog. The dog is

315
00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:30.680
three thirty feet tall, and then you go to the

316
00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:37.000
bathroom in the back of his tail. So you don't

317
00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:39.000
have to check the website out to see that. But

318
00:19:39.480 --> 00:19:44.319
that was a because Big End was not happy about

319
00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:47.359
staying under the water, and I did that for his

320
00:19:47.759 --> 00:19:52.440
anniversary present. So for my anniversary president, he literally sent

321
00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:54.759
me away to the dog.

322
00:19:55.240 --> 00:19:58.240
That's where That's where I went. I used to frequent.

323
00:19:57.880 --> 00:20:01.759
Flower Points to fly to there because it was such

324
00:20:01.759 --> 00:20:06.559
an unusual property and you're just driving along and all

325
00:20:06.559 --> 00:20:10.079
of a sudden you see this big thirty foot dog Beagle.

326
00:20:10.119 --> 00:20:13.160
It's a beagle dog and it's like an Airbnb.

327
00:20:13.359 --> 00:20:17.279
And that story is is that I had boried Big

328
00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:21.640
D's camera and his tryt was his tripod, and that's something.

329
00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:22.759
You don't do as a photographer.

330
00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:25.640
I reference it to it'd be like you would never

331
00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:28.720
use anyone else's mascara or your tripods.

332
00:20:28.759 --> 00:20:29.640
Pretty personal to you.

333
00:20:30.039 --> 00:20:34.440
But I boried his tripod to photograph that big dog,

334
00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:37.200
Toby the dog, because you could see, just like with

335
00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:40.119
this fun's fare, I want to see how how small

336
00:20:40.160 --> 00:20:43.160
I look next to the big dog. Well, I was

337
00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:47.599
out photographing that, I lost the little gizmo that holds

338
00:20:47.640 --> 00:20:51.039
your camera onto the tripod, which is a big no

339
00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:54.720
no because without that little gizmo there is no tripod,

340
00:20:54.799 --> 00:20:56.680
and he had a really nice tripod and I have

341
00:20:57.359 --> 00:20:58.759
a duct tape tripod.

342
00:20:59.279 --> 00:21:01.920
But anyway, I think, oh dear, what am I going

343
00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:02.240
to do?

344
00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:05.759
I didn't tell him, but I thought, well, I just

345
00:21:05.880 --> 00:21:08.960
ended up. I had read Del Carnegie book to stop

346
00:21:09.039 --> 00:21:10.440
worrying and start living.

347
00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:13.200
So I just started eating in that big dog because

348
00:21:13.240 --> 00:21:14.480
they had doggys.

349
00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:19.079
You like little tom trees, and so they had they

350
00:21:19.119 --> 00:21:21.359
had snacks for me, and then they had breakfast the

351
00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:22.039
next morning.

352
00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:24.200
So I ate all my food that night.

353
00:21:24.640 --> 00:21:28.279
And then part of my character is that Bertha, which

354
00:21:28.319 --> 00:21:30.079
is my big birtha soup bag.

355
00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:32.240
And as I was getting up.

356
00:21:32.279 --> 00:21:34.079
It's like three or four in the morning, to make

357
00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:37.079
my way back to the airport to catch my flock

358
00:21:37.160 --> 00:21:40.720
back home. Big Bertha, and I said, she's seventy seventy

359
00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:42.839
five pounds depending on how full she is.

360
00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:45.720
She she fell down the stairs.

361
00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:47.880
Like company down like boom boom boom, all the way

362
00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:52.880
down the steps, and right where she fell, it was

363
00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:56.400
like a ooh, that little gizmo was right there. So

364
00:21:56.480 --> 00:21:59.200
it's like Bertha saved the day by helping me find

365
00:21:59.240 --> 00:22:05.440
that little gizz from man Strap, because otherwise the property

366
00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:10.759
was so big. But they had like carved uh figurines

367
00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:14.440
and sculptures all around the yard, and I was all

368
00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:16.480
over the yard photograph of that, so there would be

369
00:22:16.519 --> 00:22:18.680
no way I would have ever ever found it if

370
00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:21.960
it hadn't been for Bertha falling down the steps. Daven

371
00:22:22.039 --> 00:22:25.319
the day, and then he never really knew until that

372
00:22:25.400 --> 00:22:26.079
book came out.

373
00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:35.119
And so the questions I have for this chapter. Bertha

374
00:22:35.599 --> 00:22:41.359
announced she flies with you for what Bertha flies with

375
00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:42.559
you when you're traveling.

376
00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:45.640
Yeah, that's my seat bag, that's and and her pictures

377
00:22:45.680 --> 00:22:48.599
actually on the website too, you can see her. She's why,

378
00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:53.640
she's why there's a I stayed in a caboose in Arkansas,

379
00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:56.319
and she was so big and so wide. She was

380
00:22:56.359 --> 00:23:02.000
too wide for me to put her in that trainy.

381
00:23:02.759 --> 00:23:05.359
And now how many people at a time could sleep

382
00:23:05.359 --> 00:23:06.680
in the beagle dog?

383
00:23:08.039 --> 00:23:10.440
Just one? One family. It's only one family.

384
00:23:10.680 --> 00:23:14.319
One family. The dog.

385
00:23:14.880 --> 00:23:18.240
Well where you stay, You go up upsteps and then

386
00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:21.000
it opens. The belly of the dog opens with sliding

387
00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:23.920
glass doors, and that is your living quarter. So that

388
00:23:24.079 --> 00:23:26.160
the bedroom is right there at the bathroom, as I

389
00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:28.559
said earlier, was in the back of the tail of

390
00:23:28.599 --> 00:23:31.559
the dog, in the rear end of the dog, and

391
00:23:31.559 --> 00:23:33.839
then in the little towards the front.

392
00:23:33.880 --> 00:23:36.880
It's like a little talk a little kitchen it it.

393
00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:39.400
And then and the very top of the nose it

394
00:23:39.400 --> 00:23:42.519
has where where children could climb up and get in

395
00:23:42.599 --> 00:23:45.400
the in the uh climb in the little cubby hoe

396
00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:46.759
in the nose of the dog.

397
00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:50.960
Okay, okay, now how just out of curiosity, how do

398
00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:53.200
you go about finding these places?

399
00:23:53.359 --> 00:23:57.519
I mean, well, it seems in my business I did

400
00:23:57.519 --> 00:24:00.279
a lot of traveling with my business in the my

401
00:24:00.359 --> 00:24:01.039
Baftor market.

402
00:24:01.440 --> 00:24:04.759
I was with the manufacturing company. That was my real job.

403
00:24:05.279 --> 00:24:10.359
And once I started state that was our places.

404
00:24:10.480 --> 00:24:13.880
Everybody else would say, oh, have you done this or

405
00:24:14.160 --> 00:24:16.319
have you stayed at Lizzie Borden's or have you heard

406
00:24:16.359 --> 00:24:17.119
about the Big Dog?

407
00:24:17.240 --> 00:24:19.880
And I have, and it got to be a challenge.

408
00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:22.720
That that's why I started taking my list and I, oh,

409
00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:24.640
I haven't been there before, and it was the real

410
00:24:24.759 --> 00:24:28.000
challenge to try to find different places. And then but

411
00:24:28.160 --> 00:24:32.240
on that particular Big Dog, Big Ed found the Big

412
00:24:32.279 --> 00:24:34.359
Dog and that was just the perfect thing for him

413
00:24:34.359 --> 00:24:38.079
to send me. He was still pouting because of the

414
00:24:38.119 --> 00:24:42.920
scuba diving experience. Yeah, he literally did send me away

415
00:24:42.960 --> 00:24:45.359
to the to the dog house.

416
00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:50.119
You know, this ought to be interesting. After we get

417
00:24:50.160 --> 00:24:52.480
through going through your book, I'll probably want to have

418
00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:55.279
big Ed on and ask him if he's getting ready

419
00:24:55.319 --> 00:24:57.640
to I'd like to have him write a book and

420
00:24:57.680 --> 00:24:59.599
hear his side of your story.

421
00:24:59.680 --> 00:25:04.240
Hote you guys his own little fang club.

422
00:25:04.319 --> 00:25:08.279
He has a Big AG's fan club with little buttons.

423
00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:10.559
So I can see why. You know, I think I'm

424
00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:15.359
getting ready to sign up and become a member. These

425
00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:20.039
adventures you have are just so extraordinary because they're so unique.

426
00:25:20.559 --> 00:25:22.720
And what I love about it in your book is

427
00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:26.160
that you list at the back. You know, there's like

428
00:25:26.200 --> 00:25:28.640
a list where you can check off all the places

429
00:25:29.160 --> 00:25:33.039
that you haven't gone yet. And I went through that list,

430
00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:35.920
and I think I came up upon the fact that

431
00:25:36.359 --> 00:25:38.839
I had been to four of the places that you

432
00:25:38.960 --> 00:25:42.039
have listed. Yeah, and I'm thinking, oh my gosh, I

433
00:25:42.079 --> 00:25:43.480
haven't done anything.

434
00:25:44.759 --> 00:25:45.079
Well.

435
00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:48.480
And I think the listeners need to know too that

436
00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:52.119
in that book, it's just a little baby. The only

437
00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:56.839
way that any place got into that book if something

438
00:25:56.960 --> 00:26:00.079
had to happen, if something didn't happen.

439
00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:00.680
You know, like.

440
00:26:02.920 --> 00:26:06.000
Let meet me, you know, falling or dropping my camera

441
00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:09.599
and or something had to happen to be off off

442
00:26:09.640 --> 00:26:11.279
fail or tripped or something.

443
00:26:12.200 --> 00:26:13.359
It didn't make it to the back.

444
00:26:13.480 --> 00:26:15.720
So there's a ton of stuff, and I could do

445
00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:19.880
a whole series of books of other places.

446
00:26:19.279 --> 00:26:22.559
That I've stayed. I went through a whole list of.

447
00:26:22.799 --> 00:26:27.079
Staying at I went to all the President's homes, and

448
00:26:27.200 --> 00:26:28.480
I went through all the.

449
00:26:30.519 --> 00:26:33.200
Like Strong Women. I went through a whole phase.

450
00:26:33.319 --> 00:26:36.799
And those type of places too, are historical homes.

451
00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:39.359
You know. There's a lot more that's not even that's

452
00:26:39.440 --> 00:26:39.799
just a.

453
00:26:39.759 --> 00:26:45.160
Small, small, little even though it's like thirteen chapters and

454
00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:47.759
there's one chapter that has a lot of a few

455
00:26:47.799 --> 00:26:50.799
other places in there. But but something had to happen

456
00:26:51.079 --> 00:26:53.319
or it wouldn't even be be in that in that

457
00:26:53.400 --> 00:26:54.400
book just.

458
00:26:54.559 --> 00:26:58.240
At of curiosity, how many how many days of a

459
00:26:58.319 --> 00:27:02.039
year are you out traveling I'm traveling alone?

460
00:27:02.519 --> 00:27:09.240
Well right now I'm not traveling with I'm retired from promographics.

461
00:27:09.319 --> 00:27:13.039
And then yes, and but it would depend on the

462
00:27:13.039 --> 00:27:15.480
trade shows that we had in a log teams, I

463
00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:17.359
could just do a trade show, or if I'm out

464
00:27:17.640 --> 00:27:21.680
traveling with for business, I would Maybe that's most of

465
00:27:21.880 --> 00:27:26.599
most of that. And that particular book is where I

466
00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:29.359
am there for business, Like the chapter five in the

467
00:27:29.400 --> 00:27:32.079
Grand Canyon, I was there for a trade show in.

468
00:27:32.079 --> 00:27:34.200
Las Vegas and I decided, oh, I'm going.

469
00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:38.319
To I finally after years tried to get a reservation

470
00:27:38.559 --> 00:27:40.599
to go down in the bottom of the Grand Canyon,

471
00:27:40.839 --> 00:27:42.240
and I just stayed the weekend.

472
00:27:42.359 --> 00:27:43.400
So it really just.

473
00:27:43.319 --> 00:27:46.559
Depended on how much business I had and how many

474
00:27:46.599 --> 00:27:49.519
trade shows I had where it you know, some days,

475
00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:52.079
some days I would be out and then some days

476
00:27:52.079 --> 00:27:53.640
I'd be in the office for you know, weeks at

477
00:27:53.680 --> 00:27:55.400
the time. So it wasn't that I was out every

478
00:27:55.400 --> 00:27:58.839
week or it's that schedule. It was just depending on

479
00:27:58.880 --> 00:28:02.119
what you know, your trade show, that's already carved in stone.

480
00:28:02.119 --> 00:28:05.440
So that's when those shows are. It's when you schedule,

481
00:28:05.640 --> 00:28:06.640
you schedule around that.

482
00:28:07.119 --> 00:28:10.759
Yeah, and it's it's just wonderful the way you and

483
00:28:11.160 --> 00:28:14.119
by a make these plans where you always find these

484
00:28:14.279 --> 00:28:18.240
unique places, places that no one has ever been to

485
00:28:18.680 --> 00:28:22.240
or or even heard of. So this book is for

486
00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:25.559
anyone who wants to do some amazing trips that are

487
00:28:25.559 --> 00:28:27.200

nice and easy and convenient to go shopping. Okay, now, Brenda,

511
00:30:14.960 --> 00:30:19.319
I want to hear about your time at the Grand Canyon. Now,

512
00:30:19.359 --> 00:30:21.680
that is one place that I've also been to.

513
00:30:23.880 --> 00:30:24.119
Well.

514
00:30:24.160 --> 00:30:27.640
And the funny thing about that chapter, it's the only

515
00:30:27.759 --> 00:30:31.519
chapter in the book that I wrote as it was happening.

516
00:30:31.720 --> 00:30:37.559
Most of the other chapters I was remembering it, but

517
00:30:37.680 --> 00:30:41.799
that one particular chapter, and that chapter almost didn't make

518
00:30:41.839 --> 00:30:45.599
it into the book because I'm like, well, it's too normal,

519
00:30:45.720 --> 00:30:48.000
it's too it's not a out of the norm. But

520
00:30:48.160 --> 00:30:51.880
what is funny? People that are animal people and the

521
00:30:51.920 --> 00:30:55.599
horse people and the old people. They really liked that chapter,

522
00:30:55.920 --> 00:30:59.000
and a couple of the editors said that was probably

523
00:30:59.039 --> 00:31:02.640
my best written chapter because they could they could smell,

524
00:31:02.839 --> 00:31:03.559
they could see the.

525
00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:04.720
Colors and all that.

526
00:31:04.839 --> 00:31:07.279
So it was kind of funny how that almost didn't

527
00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:11.680
make it because the funny thing about that Big Ed,

528
00:31:12.160 --> 00:31:14.200
that was one of the ones he was with me.

529
00:31:14.640 --> 00:31:17.200
But if I'm going down on the back of a

530
00:31:17.319 --> 00:31:22.960
mule in rummage sale boots, I didn't really have cowboy boots,

531
00:31:23.359 --> 00:31:27.799
and so I bought some pair of boots that were

532
00:31:27.799 --> 00:31:31.799
twelve dollars because I had had to wear.

533
00:31:31.599 --> 00:31:33.039
Boots down to the Grand Canyon.

534
00:31:33.519 --> 00:31:36.599
And so as I'm doing that and it's a steep,

535
00:31:36.680 --> 00:31:40.319
steep trail, Big Ed he is on the balcony of

536
00:31:40.400 --> 00:31:46.200
the El Savar Hotel bordering room service. He's in air condition.

537
00:31:48.079 --> 00:31:52.880
I'm on a sweating, a sweaty mule. And part of

538
00:31:52.920 --> 00:31:56.400
the part of that story was is that I was

539
00:31:56.440 --> 00:32:02.880
with Fairvil other riders, and those riders they're actually riding.

540
00:32:02.920 --> 00:32:06.039
I'm a motorcycle rider, but they were horse riders, and

541
00:32:06.119 --> 00:32:09.279
they were making fun of my vest because I was

542
00:32:09.400 --> 00:32:12.400
I had a vest on, but all my vest carried

543
00:32:12.480 --> 00:32:15.839
all of my jack foot and all my candy in

544
00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:18.839
my mountain dew. And so they're like, oh, we didn't

545
00:32:18.880 --> 00:32:21.000
know it was going to go fly fishing, because it's

546
00:32:21.000 --> 00:32:25.079
a fly fishing. A funny thing about that was that

547
00:32:25.119 --> 00:32:28.160
when we get halfway down there, they I shared my

548
00:32:28.240 --> 00:32:31.200
candy with everybody because everybody was needing cant and was

549
00:32:31.319 --> 00:32:32.680
wanting candy or chocolate.

550
00:32:33.160 --> 00:32:35.960
Okay, yeah, they were probably needed to have a little

551
00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:36.839
sugar left.

552
00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:40.559
Yes, yes, that was funny. And I had EM and MS.

553
00:32:40.640 --> 00:32:44.480
They as soon as I opened that, I could hear

554
00:32:44.559 --> 00:32:47.720
them say, oh my god, she's got EM and MS,

555
00:32:48.200 --> 00:32:49.759
EM and MS so they could see the pick.

556
00:32:50.519 --> 00:32:53.000
Oh well.

557
00:32:53.839 --> 00:32:57.960
And we were living in Arizona. We lived three hours

558
00:32:58.000 --> 00:33:02.359
from the Grand Canyon, so that was mandatory whenever anyone

559
00:33:02.400 --> 00:33:05.400
would come to visit us that we'd take them on

560
00:33:05.440 --> 00:33:08.240
the train and do a train ride up to the

561
00:33:08.279 --> 00:33:11.920
Grand Canyon and then usually spend the night at the

562
00:33:12.119 --> 00:33:15.920
hotel that's fabulous as well, and then come back the

563
00:33:15.960 --> 00:33:21.240
next day. We didn't make our guests go down the

564
00:33:21.279 --> 00:33:27.119
canyon on mules, and I can see I can relate

565
00:33:27.200 --> 00:33:29.640
to big Ed staying in the hotel.

566
00:33:30.160 --> 00:33:33.559
That's probably That's probably what a lot of.

567
00:33:33.519 --> 00:33:39.000
People would do. That was just such a beautiful place

568
00:33:39.079 --> 00:33:44.960
to visit and to spend time there. So then you

569
00:33:45.079 --> 00:33:47.640
talked briefly on the last show a little bit about

570
00:33:47.680 --> 00:33:51.880
the Ice Hotel chapter, and just summarize that a little

571
00:33:51.920 --> 00:33:52.880
bit for our listeners.

572
00:33:53.000 --> 00:33:57.680
Okay, Well, that was a serendipity story as well, because

573
00:33:58.279 --> 00:34:02.680
I was doing business and I normally wouldn't be in

574
00:34:02.920 --> 00:34:06.839
January in Canada, but we our sales staff was different

575
00:34:06.839 --> 00:34:09.840
parts of the country, au or out of the country,

576
00:34:10.119 --> 00:34:15.199
and so I agreed to help fill in for another person,

577
00:34:15.480 --> 00:34:18.239
and so I did some training with our sales reps.

578
00:34:18.559 --> 00:34:21.960
And it was in January in Canada, before the buying season,

579
00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:27.199
and on USA Good Morning America I had at that

580
00:34:27.480 --> 00:34:32.320
hotel was just opening, so I had booked that and

581
00:34:32.559 --> 00:34:34.679
we were one of the first one hundred people to

582
00:34:34.760 --> 00:34:39.000
stay in that, I said, but began was flying in.

583
00:34:39.400 --> 00:34:42.519
I was there working, and he flew in over the weekend.

584
00:34:43.000 --> 00:34:46.440
He thought we were staying at the Chateau whatever that's

585
00:34:46.440 --> 00:34:50.960
called there in Quebec, which is a beautiful and there's

586
00:34:51.000 --> 00:34:55.320
a picture of that on the website, too, beautiful hotel

587
00:34:55.639 --> 00:34:58.760
and a lot of royalty people stayed there, and I

588
00:34:58.880 --> 00:35:01.559
ended up staying at the chief deepest room we could find,

589
00:35:01.599 --> 00:35:05.159
And even that wasn't that cheap that we were going

590
00:35:05.239 --> 00:35:05.880
to stay there.

591
00:35:06.079 --> 00:35:07.679
That's where he thought we were staying.

592
00:35:08.079 --> 00:35:11.440
But I canceled that night at this really nice castle

593
00:35:11.840 --> 00:35:14.840
and stayed at the Ice Hotel. He wasn't happy about

594
00:35:14.920 --> 00:35:20.679
that either, because they provided parkas and shoes.

595
00:35:21.840 --> 00:35:23.559
Like a scheme attire.

596
00:35:24.079 --> 00:35:28.119
Yeah, he didn't his gloves you know, wouldn't fit him

597
00:35:28.239 --> 00:35:31.039
and and all that. So he wasn't real happy about that.

598
00:35:31.159 --> 00:35:34.360
But the sponsor was Absolute Vodcasts.

599
00:35:35.199 --> 00:35:37.119
But I was excited about that.

600
00:35:38.079 --> 00:35:41.719
But and you sleep on a bed of us, but

601
00:35:41.840 --> 00:35:47.119
you have a fur palette fild and and you have

602
00:35:47.159 --> 00:35:51.519
stub zero sleeping bags. But if you can't stand it there,

603
00:35:51.519 --> 00:35:54.519
if you wient out, you can go next door and

604
00:35:54.559 --> 00:35:57.760
sleep at the airbnb that well pay this today. So

605
00:35:58.559 --> 00:36:02.440
but he didn't like that either. That was not his

606
00:36:02.480 --> 00:36:06.039
favorite thing. But it was a beautiful, uh facillity. You

607
00:36:06.079 --> 00:36:09.559
would not believe the chandeliers and all the ice carvings.

608
00:36:09.599 --> 00:36:12.400
It was just beautiful. It was so magical. It was

609
00:36:12.440 --> 00:36:15.559
really magical. And that was a part of that was

610
00:36:15.719 --> 00:36:17.880
is that I had just been washed. I don't know

611
00:36:17.880 --> 00:36:20.760
if you've ever washed, or your listeners have ever watched

612
00:36:20.800 --> 00:36:23.800
Dexter and Dexter is a serial killer, but he's a

613
00:36:23.960 --> 00:36:27.119
he's a cute serial killer that kills back people. And

614
00:36:27.159 --> 00:36:31.559
so I just watched, well, I thought that I was

615
00:36:31.679 --> 00:36:35.639
being tortured by Dexter because I was frozen. I was

616
00:36:35.639 --> 00:36:39.039
in like this big bubble wrap which is my sleeping bag,

617
00:36:39.599 --> 00:36:42.079
and it was I woke up in. It was so

618
00:36:42.280 --> 00:36:48.840
cold January that my nose hairs fro You can crunch

619
00:36:48.920 --> 00:36:51.079
my nose hairs because it.

620
00:36:51.079 --> 00:36:54.119
Was so cold. Oh my gosh.

621
00:36:54.159 --> 00:36:59.599
But that was an amazing experience because they moved that around.

622
00:36:59.599 --> 00:37:01.599
They packed up at the end of the season and

623
00:37:01.639 --> 00:37:04.679
then and then they store it somehow and then they

624
00:37:04.679 --> 00:37:07.079
build it again at different places. So that was really

625
00:37:07.119 --> 00:37:10.239
remarkable to be there the first one hundred of the

626
00:37:10.239 --> 00:37:10.760
first year.

627
00:37:11.320 --> 00:37:14.880
Okay, wow, and then uh, and how many people could

628
00:37:15.079 --> 00:37:16.760
sleep in this ice hotel?

629
00:37:16.760 --> 00:37:20.440
Well, the people that were there when I was there,

630
00:37:21.679 --> 00:37:24.360
there was a couple from New Jersey and they got

631
00:37:24.519 --> 00:37:28.920
drunk at the glass or the ice bar literally made

632
00:37:28.960 --> 00:37:31.840
of ice. You sit on ice, you drink your vodka

633
00:37:31.880 --> 00:37:36.920
out of an ice literally shaped ice glass, and a

634
00:37:37.079 --> 00:37:39.159
family from Florida.

635
00:37:39.559 --> 00:37:40.800
And that was about it.

636
00:37:41.320 --> 00:37:44.159
That was it was only at the time, capacity was

637
00:37:44.199 --> 00:37:47.639
maybe four or five couples at the time, because each

638
00:37:48.119 --> 00:37:52.039
family or each little group had a separate room, and

639
00:37:52.599 --> 00:37:54.559
you'd have also curtain on that, but you would have

640
00:37:54.639 --> 00:37:55.719
your own ice beed.

641
00:37:56.760 --> 00:38:01.079
Okay, so you go. So, I mean, then this is

642
00:38:01.199 --> 00:38:04.079
only in January or in the winter months that this

643
00:38:04.239 --> 00:38:05.800
is available, right, And.

644
00:38:05.800 --> 00:38:09.159
I think it would go from like January to the

645
00:38:09.280 --> 00:38:11.559
end of February or the first of March.

646
00:38:12.440 --> 00:38:15.960
Yeah, cold in Canada by that time, so.

647
00:38:16.079 --> 00:38:19.800
Oh yeah, yeah, you can get cold there. I lived.

648
00:38:19.920 --> 00:38:22.880
I grew up in Michigan, so we were right border

649
00:38:22.920 --> 00:38:26.679
from Canada. Yeah, you could have some pretty cold days.

650
00:38:27.159 --> 00:38:32.639
So then going on to your next chapter at an airport. Now,

651
00:38:32.679 --> 00:38:34.960
we're an airline family, so that I can tell you

652
00:38:35.039 --> 00:38:38.440
the times that we have a we fallen asleep sitting

653
00:38:38.519 --> 00:38:42.400
in chairs at airports, and a few times we've stayed

654
00:38:42.440 --> 00:38:47.559
in airport hotels. But that sounds almost too normal for you,

655
00:38:48.280 --> 00:38:51.639
So tell us about your airport story, okay.

656
00:38:51.719 --> 00:38:55.239
So, and part of that story is in a thread

657
00:38:55.360 --> 00:38:58.159
throughout this whole book is that my parents are getting worse.

658
00:38:58.239 --> 00:38:59.920
I think my dad's got a brain tumor.

659
00:39:00.519 --> 00:39:03.599
And so as the story goes on, I'm doing all

660
00:39:03.639 --> 00:39:07.320
these things, running businesses raising kids my parents, so they

661
00:39:07.440 --> 00:39:09.519
my dad, they thought he had a brain tumor. And

662
00:39:09.559 --> 00:39:13.519
so in this particular chapter, uh, he had an infection

663
00:39:13.679 --> 00:39:15.480
in his leg, and he's having to go to the

664
00:39:15.480 --> 00:39:21.159
hospital every day, and and I ended up taking him

665
00:39:21.159 --> 00:39:23.840
back every day for this. He had a wound in

666
00:39:23.880 --> 00:39:26.639
his in his leg, and so then I flew out

667
00:39:26.679 --> 00:39:27.440
the next day.

668
00:39:28.000 --> 00:39:29.119
And and that.

669
00:39:30.559 --> 00:39:32.920
What I was trying to do in that chapter is

670
00:39:32.960 --> 00:39:35.639
that people that travel for a living. Everybody thinks it's

671
00:39:35.679 --> 00:39:39.119
so glamorous. Oh, you're traveling, But when you're traveling and

672
00:39:39.159 --> 00:39:42.119
you're working, you most of the time you just see

673
00:39:42.159 --> 00:39:44.880
the airport and the place of business and then back

674
00:39:45.000 --> 00:39:47.639
on the you know, back on the plane, so you

675
00:39:47.960 --> 00:39:49.880
know how oud it is. And that chapter is I

676
00:39:49.960 --> 00:39:53.039
tried to put the non traveler, you know, the people

677
00:39:53.239 --> 00:39:58.199
that uh that maybe read but don't travel. That is

678
00:39:58.360 --> 00:40:02.599
the warrior of the people that live in the airports

679
00:40:02.719 --> 00:40:03.679
and in Atlanta.

680
00:40:04.039 --> 00:40:06.039
They actually and I had flown in and out.

681
00:40:06.079 --> 00:40:09.800
I'm a two million milear just on Delta Airlines alone.

682
00:40:09.679 --> 00:40:11.199
Now I had flown in and out.

683
00:40:11.000 --> 00:40:13.800
Of Atlanta for so long, but I never knew about

684
00:40:13.840 --> 00:40:17.239
this minute sweet and it was so amazing because you

685
00:40:17.360 --> 00:40:20.719
could actually go in and it's a great place to

686
00:40:20.800 --> 00:40:21.840
work or if you've.

687
00:40:21.679 --> 00:40:23.440
Got a long flot.

688
00:40:23.480 --> 00:40:26.519
This particular time I've been, you know, to the taking

689
00:40:26.559 --> 00:40:27.679
my dad to the doctor.

690
00:40:28.119 --> 00:40:29.000
I was exhausted.

691
00:40:29.079 --> 00:40:31.480
I had this big meeting coming up. Big ed was

692
00:40:31.519 --> 00:40:34.840
six the night before, and I was exhausted. And I

693
00:40:34.880 --> 00:40:37.280
saw this place and I had like maybe thirty minutes.

694
00:40:37.320 --> 00:40:42.159
But the story about that was is that I couldn't

695
00:40:42.199 --> 00:40:44.920
go to sleep. I get there and you know how

696
00:40:44.960 --> 00:40:48.159
you tel a son, You turn and it's a whole

697
00:40:48.199 --> 00:40:51.000
little scene. I try to get They have a bed

698
00:40:51.159 --> 00:40:53.280
that you can you can stretch out. Well, then I

699
00:40:53.280 --> 00:40:56.000
had to take my shoes off, and then then if

700
00:40:56.000 --> 00:40:57.920
I I'm gonna get my skirt wrinkled, So then I

701
00:40:57.920 --> 00:41:00.000
took my skirt off, and then I tried to get,

702
00:41:00.199 --> 00:41:02.119
you know, laying my left side, well I had I

703
00:41:02.159 --> 00:41:06.039
had clanging jewelry that messed you know, that man had

704
00:41:06.039 --> 00:41:07.280
to get up take it off.

705
00:41:07.159 --> 00:41:08.000
My ear rings.

706
00:41:08.360 --> 00:41:11.719
Mama calls and at this time, my mama is showing

707
00:41:11.880 --> 00:41:15.159
signs of dementia. So she calls and here, you know,

708
00:41:15.400 --> 00:41:18.400
and I'm paying by the minute to stay the thing

709
00:41:18.400 --> 00:41:23.159
in this minute sweech you literally pay by the minute anyway,

710
00:41:23.320 --> 00:41:25.800
and there's there's a cute little scene in there that

711
00:41:25.840 --> 00:41:31.079
I finally, I finally get I think I sleep for

712
00:41:31.199 --> 00:41:34.039
like three minutes maybe of my thirty minutes. I finally

713
00:41:34.039 --> 00:41:37.119
get up some sleep. But what I didn't notice was

714
00:41:37.159 --> 00:41:39.800
that when I finally did fall asleep, my mask garret

715
00:41:40.079 --> 00:41:44.559
stuck to my eyes, and it was it was a

716
00:41:44.559 --> 00:41:47.920
funny scene because I didn't really I was such a

717
00:41:48.000 --> 00:41:50.480
hurry that I think I got my skirts on the

718
00:41:50.599 --> 00:41:53.599
inside out, didn't notice that my jackets wrong side out.

719
00:41:53.719 --> 00:41:54.320
Didn't know it.

720
00:41:54.599 --> 00:41:58.000
And then I had big, big circles in my eyes

721
00:41:58.039 --> 00:42:01.119
because my mass ere runs so And there was a

722
00:42:01.159 --> 00:42:04.920
couple of scenes on the airplane, the middle seat pastor

723
00:42:04.960 --> 00:42:07.360
you know, you have the dreaded middle steat passenger, and

724
00:42:07.400 --> 00:42:09.840
so there's a couple He looked like Chris Farley, if

725
00:42:09.880 --> 00:42:11.599
you remember who he all the other.

726
00:42:12.960 --> 00:42:14.760
He was a comedian. He was laughing.

727
00:42:15.480 --> 00:42:18.480
And it was the only time that I've landed where

728
00:42:18.519 --> 00:42:22.440
the oxygen mask actually deployed. And that's that was the

729
00:42:22.480 --> 00:42:25.239
first and hardest time I've ever had that to happen.

730
00:42:25.559 --> 00:42:28.800
But anyway, that was I was trying to put the

731
00:42:28.800 --> 00:42:33.760
reader into the life of a traveling person that that

732
00:42:33.920 --> 00:42:37.639
travels for living. But it's not all that it's cracked

733
00:42:37.719 --> 00:42:41.039
up today, especially you've got other things you've got to

734
00:42:41.159 --> 00:42:43.559
you know, you worried about people at home, you worry

735
00:42:43.559 --> 00:42:45.639
about your parents, but you still, you know, you got

736
00:42:45.719 --> 00:42:46.880
work to work to do.

737
00:42:47.760 --> 00:42:51.440
Oh my gosh ya and you know, Uh, I've been

738
00:42:51.480 --> 00:42:56.320
through Atlanta several times myself, and I've seen these uh situations.

739
00:42:56.360 --> 00:42:59.519
And so you could just rent a room for thirty minutes.

740
00:43:00.119 --> 00:43:02.440
Yes, thirty minutes. Yeah, you pay by the minute, you

741
00:43:02.480 --> 00:43:03.360
pay by the minute.

742
00:43:03.719 --> 00:43:09.480
Oh okay, they have Do they also have showers? And yeah?

743
00:43:09.800 --> 00:43:10.480
Not at the time.

744
00:43:10.599 --> 00:43:12.760
I was one of the first ones that stayed there too.

745
00:43:13.679 --> 00:43:15.800
At the time, they didn't even have the bathroom there.

746
00:43:15.800 --> 00:43:19.039
You had to like and that was kind of not

747
00:43:19.159 --> 00:43:21.880
so good because you had to go down the hallway

748
00:43:22.039 --> 00:43:24.880
to go to the to the ladies room. But then

749
00:43:24.960 --> 00:43:27.920
now I believe that they do. They have expanded that.

750
00:43:28.400 --> 00:43:31.679
And before you couldn't take food into the room. They

751
00:43:31.679 --> 00:43:34.360
didn't allow things. But now I think that they sell snacks.

752
00:43:34.800 --> 00:43:37.400
I was just in there a couple of months ago

753
00:43:37.519 --> 00:43:39.679
and noticed that they sell snacks, And so it's a

754
00:43:39.719 --> 00:43:42.239
little bit more they've added to that for people that

755
00:43:43.079 --> 00:43:44.719
need snags or need a place to go.

756
00:43:45.079 --> 00:43:47.199
And I'm not sure about showers. I think maybe they

757
00:43:47.199 --> 00:43:48.599
have added showers since then.

758
00:43:48.719 --> 00:43:51.320
It would have been a good idea because that way,

759
00:43:51.360 --> 00:43:53.800
especially if you've got an international flight or your flight

760
00:43:53.880 --> 00:43:55.320
gets delayed or something too.

761
00:43:55.480 --> 00:44:00.480
So oh yeah, yeah, that's incredible, that's wonderful seeing these

762
00:44:00.480 --> 00:44:02.880
things I've never done. This is another thing that you've

763
00:44:02.880 --> 00:44:06.400
done that I've never done. My list is getting longer

764
00:44:06.440 --> 00:44:10.159
and longer. And I know you in your book, you

765
00:44:10.320 --> 00:44:14.920
encourage people to make up their travel bucket lists, don't you.

766
00:44:16.960 --> 00:44:20.519
Yes, because I think that and even if you just

767
00:44:20.679 --> 00:44:23.239
want to some people just enjoy going to the lake,

768
00:44:23.440 --> 00:44:26.320
or some people just enjoy going to their house on

769
00:44:26.360 --> 00:44:30.239
the beach or whatever. I just encourage people just to

770
00:44:30.440 --> 00:44:32.920
live life and put it on your list.

771
00:44:32.960 --> 00:44:34.639
If there is a place that you want to go.

772
00:44:35.199 --> 00:44:39.760
That's my strong suggestion and inspiration is do it now

773
00:44:39.840 --> 00:44:43.559
while you can. As you get older there's a traveling

774
00:44:43.599 --> 00:44:48.719
issue you maybe don't feel as well, and the mobility issues,

775
00:44:48.760 --> 00:44:51.400
and just do it. If so many people like wait

776
00:44:51.519 --> 00:44:55.039
till they retire to travel places, and I did not

777
00:44:55.239 --> 00:44:56.719
do that I've traveled.

778
00:44:56.320 --> 00:44:59.960
My whole life. And because I think if you wait

779
00:45:00.159 --> 00:45:03.320
so you're older and maybe you can't.

780
00:45:04.159 --> 00:45:06.079
You know, there's you know, there's no way Big I

781
00:45:06.119 --> 00:45:07.519
could even go down on that mule.

782
00:45:07.599 --> 00:45:09.760
And you know he didn't want to do it anyway back.

783
00:45:09.639 --> 00:45:13.079
Then, back then, but now there's no way you could

784
00:45:13.079 --> 00:45:13.719
go down there.

785
00:45:14.320 --> 00:45:16.920
Yeah do it while you yeah, do it while you can.

786
00:45:17.800 --> 00:45:20.960
Absolutely, And you know, being from an airline family, we've

787
00:45:20.960 --> 00:45:23.840
been blessed and fortunate to be able to travel.

788
00:45:23.480 --> 00:45:27.679
All over all over. So when you say airline family,

789
00:45:27.800 --> 00:45:30.760
are you were? You were a pot at Candada? What

790
00:45:30.760 --> 00:45:33.119
what was your airline? Because I scot your book?

791
00:45:33.199 --> 00:45:38.119
Thank you? Okay, Oh, yes, yes I was. I flew.

792
00:45:39.000 --> 00:45:41.920
I flew for Eastern Airlines, which probably a lot of

793
00:45:41.960 --> 00:45:47.559
people don't even remember. I flew in the nineteen sixty

794
00:45:47.840 --> 00:45:51.920
three and it was one of the major airlines, and

795
00:45:52.119 --> 00:45:57.360
I was based in Miami and also New York. Credible.

796
00:45:57.480 --> 00:46:00.639
I had a fabulous time. But that was a time

797
00:46:00.719 --> 00:46:10.119
when stewardesses were considered like it was very glamorous. Yes, and.

798
00:46:11.960 --> 00:46:16.039
I'm looking forward because as being I'm a kindred spirit

799
00:46:16.159 --> 00:46:17.559
ar road warrior like you are.

800
00:46:17.639 --> 00:46:19.360
So I know I'm going to enjoy reading this.

801
00:46:19.920 --> 00:46:22.639
Oh, good, good, Yes, and I thank you for giving

802
00:46:22.639 --> 00:46:27.519
me that plug. I did enjoy writing about that. Also.

803
00:46:27.679 --> 00:46:32.920
I wrote about some paranormal psychic experiences that I had

804
00:46:33.000 --> 00:46:36.880
through the years. I wrote about going to Catholic school.

805
00:46:40.599 --> 00:46:44.480
That was wonderful, memories, some good, some bad, some good,

806
00:46:44.679 --> 00:46:49.320
bad and ugly, and I kind of like you, I

807
00:46:49.440 --> 00:46:53.559
kind of tried to write about things that I've done

808
00:46:53.679 --> 00:46:57.639
that most other people probably haven't had a chance to do.

809
00:46:58.599 --> 00:47:01.280
And one of the things as my husband and I

810
00:47:01.400 --> 00:47:05.960
we were invited to go on to an aircraft carrier

811
00:47:06.599 --> 00:47:10.199
and we flew out on an aircraft carry and we

812
00:47:10.320 --> 00:47:13.679
landed on an aircraft carrier and we spent the night

813
00:47:13.800 --> 00:47:18.480
on the USS. Carl Vinson and said, you slept wire

814
00:47:20.880 --> 00:47:22.880
it's going to be a chapter for your book.

815
00:47:25.000 --> 00:47:28.000
And on the aircraft carrier.

816
00:47:28.599 --> 00:47:31.320
Yes, we slept overnight on the aircraft carrier.

817
00:47:31.679 --> 00:47:35.760
And we got to me, I haven't done that. That's wonderful. Yeah.

818
00:47:35.800 --> 00:47:38.119
We got to meet all the crew and the captain

819
00:47:38.199 --> 00:47:42.039
had us for a meal and we got it's like

820
00:47:42.199 --> 00:47:46.400
seventeen stories. So this was when I was younger, and

821
00:47:46.440 --> 00:47:49.880
all we did was climb ladders, ladders, ladders, up and down,

822
00:47:49.960 --> 00:47:54.840
up and down, and then I spotted this fabulous elevator,

823
00:47:55.199 --> 00:47:58.159
very large, and I said, well, you know who gets

824
00:47:58.199 --> 00:48:02.679
to use this elevator because I was thinking I would

825
00:48:02.719 --> 00:48:05.840
like to use it. And the answer was that the

826
00:48:05.880 --> 00:48:11.719
elevator is used only for air to go up and down,

827
00:48:12.000 --> 00:48:15.880
and there's one person who gets to use it when

828
00:48:15.880 --> 00:48:19.440
they visit, and that's the President of the United States.

829
00:48:19.760 --> 00:48:24.000
Oh wow, Yeah.

830
00:48:23.400 --> 00:48:25.639
So that was fun to share. That's kind of one

831
00:48:25.639 --> 00:48:28.440
of your chapters. You know, this would be great, and

832
00:48:28.480 --> 00:48:30.599
we're going to have you back as soon as we

833
00:48:30.679 --> 00:48:33.920
can and talk some more and finish your book up

834
00:48:33.960 --> 00:48:37.519
with our listeners, and thank you so much for visiting

835
00:48:37.559 --> 00:48:43.039
with us today, Brenda, and especially sharing the Tennessee World's

836
00:48:43.079 --> 00:48:47.360

You know. We've tried to be informative inspiring today Next Thursday,

Thursday will be live at three pm right here. So now,

841
00:49:07.119 --> 00:49:10.920
thank you for entering the No Wine Zone and we

842
00:49:11.000 --> 00:49:15.840
look forward to seeing you. We must remember to stop

843
00:49:15.920 --> 00:49:20.840
whining and then start smiling. And if that doesn't work,

844
00:49:20.920 --> 00:49:24.880
then you can just start eating chocolate or if but

845
00:49:25.079 --> 00:49:30.440
you can eat em and ms. Take care everyone, stay

846
00:49:30.480 --> 00:49:34.000
safe and be sure to keep on glittering and glowing

847
00:49:34.559 --> 00:49:36.000
until we meet again.

848
00:49:40.360 --> 00:49:43.480
We want to thank you for listening to January Jones

849
00:49:43.679 --> 00:49:48.400
sharing success stories. Always remember miss Jones' personal mantra, if

850
00:49:48.440 --> 00:49:51.440
you can think it, you can do it. That's what

851
00:49:51.480 --> 00:49:53.400
all of our guests have done with their lives, and

852
00:49:53.639 --> 00:49:56.639
so can you. You are the ultimate success coach in

853
00:49:56.679 --> 00:49:58.960
your own life. All you need to do will be

854
00:49:59.000 --> 00:50:01.679
to start sharing you your own story with your family

855
00:50:01.760 --> 00:50:04.960
and friends. We hope that our guest stories will encourage

856
00:50:05.000 --> 00:50:07.800
you to explore an equation in your future that will

857
00:50:07.840 --> 00:50:11.840
combine your creativity plus connecting with others will enable you

858
00:50:11.880 --> 00:50:16.199

859
00:50:16.280 --> 00:50:21.360
purpose will equal prosperity as you explore the wonderful world
