“Dishing with Mark & Carrie” is read weekly by 10’s of 1,000’s of people locally, across the nation and around the world. We love it when friends tell us stories about people who read our blog.
This week a young friend came in and started with saying, “Your not going to believe this.” His Grandmother in cold weathered Chicago called him and said how good he looked in his pirate costume.
Surprised he asked where she saw this photo. Grandmother laughed and said in “Dishing with Mark & Carrie” of course!
Later he found out that he had forwarded a photo of himself in Dishing to his brother. The brother forwarded it to their Grandmother. She then signed up for the weekly newsletter on the web site. The Grandmother went on to say that his Mom reads Dishing too.
When they come to visit this spring both Grandmother & Mom want to see a drag show in GaYBOR!!!
Our friend was laughing. OMG what did we start! LOL
