GUEST SPEAKER Today!

Hi! My name is Jacque. I am Julie's older sister...older by 22 months. You may read my blog HERE. Julie is home sick today, so has no computer access. She phoned me from her sickbed this a.m. and asked me to be a Guest Speaker on her blog! I am honored to do so.

I spent most of the day wondering what to write about. Then, decided I would share some photos with you...and a few fun facts that you, perhaps, did not know about my younger sister.

So. Here are some interesting tidbits:


*At some point in her teenage years, she decided that she wanted to be called Julia. Not sure how long that lasted, but it was a pain in the butt, as she wouldn't answer you unless you called her Julia.

*Her Confirmation name is Bernadette (it's a Catholic thing).

*Julie used to work as a cow milker. Yup, that means she actually milked cows for money! She also once worked as a gas station attendant...pumping gas for people (remember those days?).

*On her 18th birthday, she became very sick from the alcohol she consumed...shots, weren't they?

*When I was 18 years old, Julie told me that I am an angel. (I believe she's right about that!)

*Julie once owned a German Shepherd Dog named Rebel.

*She went to see Billy Ray Cyrus perform when he was popular with "Achy Breaky Heart" (I think she did, anyway. At the very least, she was hot for him!)

*She once had a fling with a guy named 'Banana'.

Though there are many more interesting tidbits I could share with you, I am out of time. Perhaps Julie will ask me to be a Guest Speaker again!

Thank you for reading!
