Celebrity Sighting In Aisle 3

        When I lived in the city it was not unusual for me to see the occasional celebrity.


Right off the top of my head I remember seeing Henry Winkler, Cher, Diana Ross, Swoosie Kurtz, Molly Shannon( from Saturday Night Live and the Movie Super Star) Rickie Lake and when I worked in a bakery... Billy Dee Williams

                                                  He came in and told me I was pretty. Obviously that was when I was quite younger and thinner. I responded to his sweet remark by saying...

 " Um Err Thank You Errrr Ummmm HUUM MAN NA, HUUM MAN NA  hee hee hee hee hee hee hee."

                                 Yep, I was Smooth and cool.

                                                                         
I was used to seeing the occasional famous person in the city, but living here in Burb~land It doesn't happen at all. So Imagine my surprise when today as I shopped at my local Stop and Shop right there in the Nature's Promise meat section stood Cindy Williams...you remember her right?

                she played Shirley Feeney of Laverne and Shirley fame. I loved that show!

Well, there she was looking as cute as ever in her little pixie cut.


"Wow, she hasn't aged one bit!" I thought. I wonder what face cream she uses. Maybe she's had some work done."


 I pushed my cart a bit closer down the aisle to get a better glimpse. I wondered what should I say if anything. Should I mention that I never missed an episode? Should I tell her that the bloopers from the show made me laugh till I cried? hmmmm


I moved a bit closer.

                    I was now only half an aisle away.

                                She came into focus.


Cindy Williams AKA Shirley Feeney was in fact a middle school boy with jet black hair.

              This is not the first time I have made a mistake like this. Last summer I waved at a Betty Boop cut-out thinking it was my neighbor working in her yard.


I think I need a stronger eye glass prescription.


But then again....who knows if I don't wear my glasses I may very well run into Laverne. I would be thrilled...
