You might be a redneck...


...if Jeff Foxworthy is at your house! :) Yes, that is Mr. Foxworthy with our family on our front steps! In a rather interesting turn of events, we got a phone call from our small group leader who works at North Point. Jeff is helping to sponsor/host a big fundraiser in October called "Backyard Bash" and needed a big back yard to film the promo...Evan suggested our yard, and the rest is history! Actually, they filmed first in the kitchen and then moved outside. I, fearing what three curious boys might do to (with) the equipment, hightailed it when they started setting up lights, cameras and sound booms. After a leisurely breakfast at IHOP and a nice walk, we returned just as they were finishing and got to meet the man himself. Super nice and really fun with the boys...when he met them he shook all their hands and asked "Do you like Mater? Well, he's my friend!" They loved him!! Chalk this one up as random...and sooo fun! Be on the lookout for the "Backyard Bash", coming in October, but the piece will run at NP and on NP online sometime in September. Hope you are enjoying your last days of summer!!
