I haven't been out to eat in 16 months without someone coming up to her, or my mom assuming someone is going to. She is humbled and appreciative of all the words of encouragement. But, I just feel awkward about the whole thing. The other day it got to the point where we had to run interference on a guy who was seemingly following her around the restaurant. I'm sure he meant no harm, but still made her feel uncomfortable which she never does. Bottom line: Just because you are on TV, doesn't make you a celebrity. And I think the problem might be worse than even the Surely Birds think. My sister is a local Meteorologist on Fox 2 here in St Louis.
