I thought they found Carrie washed up on a beach some where with an empty bottle of JACK Daniels saying how she use to be a big star?
Wonderful blog you have here but I was curious about if you knew of any forums that cover the same topics talked about here? I’d really like to be a part of online community where I can get advice from other knowledgeable individuals that share the same interest. If you have any recommendations, please let me know. Many thanks!
I try and zip around the country to see Carrie’s appearances. I can’t keep up! 2010 run me in the ground. Now 2011 movie premiere this , Grand Ole’ Opry that. Lot of fun though and trying to pack it all in before that motherly instinct hits her. (lol)
