BROOKE WHITE SIGHTING
I got a call from Darrel on Saturday in which he said: "Guess who's in front of Trina in the Paradise Bakery line?" "Who? " "Brooke White." "I'm there, don't lose her." Dallin and I jumped in my car and I grabbed Brooke's CD "Songs From the Attic" as I rushed out the door.
On the way to the Chandler mall I called Darrel and asked if she, Brooke, was still within sight.
"Oh, no, she left the food court awhile ago, but Trina knows where she is going. She's going to the Quicksilver store and then on to Nordstroms. I drove to the parking lot closest to Nordstrom's and quickly found a spot, not easy to do on a Saturday afternoon. As Dallin and I entered the store I was wishing I had remembered to bring my camera. I told Dallin we needed to go to the shoe department because I know Brooke really likes shoes. Trina had told me she was with her Mom and sister and she was wearing a green top and a white skirt. She was easy to spot right in front of the shoes and next to the makeup department. She was speaking to a woman who worked there and we just casually waited, pretending we were looking at the women's shoes. As she started to leave I sent Dallin after her with the CD cover and told him exactly where I wanted her to sign it. Bless his heart, he stopped her and that gave me time to casually saunter over. When she saw me she asked me where I got the CD but all I could say was "Thank you!" Now I realize that the CD was re-released without her permission. After we left I was wishing I would have said: "I loved you on American Idol." But I always think what to do and say after the fact. Thanks Darrel, Trina and Dallin for making my day before Mother's Day so great!!
