The Golden Globes

I turned on the TV this morning to see that the "Golden Globe Awards" are in the news. Everytime I hear of that particular award show, it brings back a fond memory...thought I'd share.

Several years ago, we (WTHI) brought in Jeanne Cooper, the lady who plays Katherine Chancellor on the Young and the Restless, to do a "meet and greet" at the grand opening of a local furniture store. My friend/client, Kim, actually had the idea.

The grand opening was in May, and Jeannie packed the place. People were lined up for hours to meet this actress. Kim's idea proved successful!

I had the honor of hosting Jeannie for the weekend. That was fun! Probably the coolest part of that for me was having the opportunity to speak with her about faith, about Jesus. It was neat to hear where she was at, spiritually speaking. Though we didn't spend alot of time on that subject, that's still one of my favorite parts of that particular weekend.

Anyway, for whatever reason, Jeannie took a liking to us, and invited us to come out to LA, and visit the set of Y&R with her. So we did that. It was Kim, Laura and David (Kim's sister and nephew), and myself. We had a blast! It was so much fun hanging out together, and seeing LA, and meeting the stars of Y&R as Jeannie took us around and introduced us to everyone. It was also really cool to see the filming of it. To see the actors doing their part, and the camera men capturing it from various angles. The whole trip was really neat.

We were out there, either the week prior to or the week after the Golden Globes took place...I don't remember for sure which it was. We stayed in Beverly Hills at the same hotel where the Golden Globes take place. All the "talk about town" while we were there was the "Golden Globe Awards". Which is cool, because now I have the yearly "marker" to remind me of that fun trip!
