Dolly Parton Tribute Part 2
I had a neighbor across the street who did not like the fact that I had large numbers of people coming to my yoga class and always parking in front of his house. He would never say hi to me, he would just look down when he was watering the lawn.
One day, Dolly pulled up in her station wagon with a Nashville license plate while he was watering the lawn. I saw him do a double take when she got out of the car.
That afternoon, he came over, knocked on my door, and said, “Was that Dolly Parton?”
I said, “Yes.”
He said, “Is there any way I can meet her?”
I told him I would ask her, so I shared the whole story with Dolly. She said, “No problem, darling.” She walked right over, knocked on his door, and shook his hand.
From that day on, I could park in his driveway, and he welcomed every single one of my students who parked in front of his house.
Great story!
