You may have also caught up with me (it's been a busy couple of weeks) at Wish Night- the annual Make A Wish fundraising event. My special thanks to those of you who came over and said hi (don't be shy- I LOVE hearing from and meeting viewers). Wish Night is an incredible event that I am fortunate to spend with one of my favorite people in DFW- Good Day Anchor Megan Henderson.
Megan co-hosted the evening with Steve Eager (FOX4 news at 5:30, 9)- an event that raises hundreds of thousands of dollars to make wishes come true for children with life threatening illnesses.
We were extremely fortunate this year to have a wish family at our table this year. Their spirit and strength was inspirational- it really puts things in perspective. The bravery each one of them showed (from their adorable 4 and 6 year old sons to mom and dad) was truly heart warming. Just back from their trip to Disney World (their son's wish was to ride a REAL roller coaster) - they were filled with love when they reported their son, who'd had a 6 pound tumor on his kidney, is currently cancer free.
Below are some pictures from the event- a special thanks to Make-A-Wish for having us and for the work that they do to bring smiles into the world.

Thank you to Miss Grapevine, Julia Anderson and Miss Colleyville, Paige Jones for being such good sports as we pretend to "steal" their crowns!

It may seem like a heavily pre-produced comment, but I really DO love hearing from our viewers. The segments I do on FOX4 (On Your Side, Save Me Steve, and Deal or Dud) are all about helping you live better day to day. Many of my story ideas come from folks like you- my work is really YOUR work. I’m here to save you time, save you money and save you from getting ripped off. OK, now that all of that formal stuff is out of the way- here’s a little about me. Yes, I’m a Yankee- born and raised in New York, I love living in North Texas, it is so refreshing to be in a place where people are proud of the heritage years of rich history have created. Back at home in NY the tie that binds very often is the lack thereof – really, nobody is REALLY from NY anymore it seems. What’s that you say? There’s nothing to do in North Texas except shop and eat? PERFECT! Those are my two favorite things! When I’m not at work and not eating or shopping (bargain hunting is more like it) you’ll find me walking my dog Parker (that’s his picture - we got him at the Weim Rescue of North Texas), inappropriately using the punctuation “…”, or driving with the top down and pretending I know the lyrics to whatever song I’m listening to. If you drive by and catch me… no laughing!
