Several years ago, I was doing a LIVE broadcast at
The Dariette, in Henderson, KY. I was promoting all of the deliciousness that they serve up every day. Including their Juicy Lucy burgers, cheese bites, Do-Wa-Dittie Basket, and their incredible Extreme Milkshakes. And yes, I got to sample all of these treats.
While we were talking about the name of their designer milkshakes, Alyssa, the owner said she wanted to make a milkshake inspired by me. Here is the video of the making of the very first
Lesliewood Extreme Milkshake.
It was so cool to watch her make the milkshake with all of the flavors I like the most. I had o idea she was going to keep it around, as a thing, after that day. To tell the truth, it is an amazing honor to have something this amazing named after me. Every time I see it posted on social media, it makes me so happy.
Fully Vaccinated Hug Parties Are Trending And I Want Invited
One of the things I missed the most, during the pandemic, was hugging. Everybody knows that I m a hugger. If you are my good friend, someone I ve known forever, or even someone I have just met for the first time, I WILL hug you.

When social distancing became a new norm, it hurt my heart. Since I use hugging as a greeting, I felt awkward and weird just standing there not knowing what to do. What was really hard was not hugging my dad, my two older kids, my granddaughter to close family and friends. It was so hard.
