What can I say…but Dot! When I tried to title this article…all that came to my mind was “Dot.” Dot and I have been friends since we were six years old. We went all the way through high school and college together and have remained friends all these years.
I always accuse Dot of having some obsession…it may be tanning, it may be traveling, it may be the Rebels…it is always her grandson, Connor. Dot’s latest passion is working out. Since November 11, 2016 following a trip to New York, Dot realized she had to make some changes cause she “couldn’t keep up in the Big Apple!” …and when Dot makes a change…be ready!
I am so proud of her! She has lost weight and is super toned and physically fit. Of course, she thinks I should do the same but whose got 2 hours a day to spend at the gym?
On one of her gym trips, she met a group of guys training for the NFL try-outs. Dot was on the treadmill and one of the guys told her he thought he knew her…well, yes! Kalen Jackson re-introduced himself…and from there she came back to me with the story of these guys and what they were doing.
So, of course, Dot and I decide we need to do a story…make videos…tell about what others are doing.
We met the team at Pearl High School football field. We talked…we filmed…and of course we laughed.
Dot works out at Focus Fitness in Brandon.
When we made the “main” picture…she told me she was “the lightest thing those guys had picked up all day!”
Here’s to Dot…my friend who will never grow up or grown old…and I sure am glad!
(I am working on getting the guy’s names!!!)
