Small But Mighty

I am one lucky girl.

First off, years and years ago when I was still in college,

I happened to meet a man who would have a huge impact on my life--

a man who would serve as my mentor and become a dear, dear friend.

Meet David Glodt.

When I met him, he was the Los Angeles Bureau Chief for ABC News,

then he went on to oversee Europe (based in London) and then the weekend

news- including the David Brinkley Show.

I spent several Sundays in the Green Room and the studio

with David- and David Brinkley, Sam Donaldson, George Will

and Cokie Roberts.  

I never made a career move in my television career without

first consulting David.
As I said I was lucky and spoiled to have him in my corner.

And who'd ever think he would make a yearly trek to Boise on business

and I'd get to see him here.

We celebrated Reese's first double digit birthday Monday night-

with a night out for dinner and then lots of presents.

 A few highlights:  this sweet hand knitted mermaid blanket

from Greer and Holland....

 this vintage Nancy Drew collector's book (Reese

adores Nancy Drew books)...

 and of course, what is fast becoming a tradition by our Greer girl--

a "candy cake".

I still can't believe my little Reese is the big ten.

She's about the size of a 6 year old-- but sure packs

a punch when it comes to personality and spunk.

We have probably told her too many times "small but mighty".

She sure is....
