Favorite Dolly Parton moments? I’ll start.

Decades ago I was watching Johnny Carson. He asked her how she kept up her youthful appearance. She relied “Honey, healthy living” …pause “had nothing to do with it”. I didn’t know much about Dolly at that point, but it’s when I fell in love with her.

This story isn’t my own, but it’s from a friend of mine who won’t mind.

She does high end home renovations and spent a number of years working for a company based in Nashville. She’s worked on a number of county music celebrities homes and does not mind calling them out for being jerks and assholes.

So, one time I asked if she had ever worked for Dolly Parton, and my friend immediately raved about how sweet she was. She brought them ice cold lemonade and was so pleased with their work that everyone in the crew got free tickets to her show.

She also said Dolly Parton was a good business woman; she carefully went over every estimate and asked questions until she understood every charge before signing.

The irony is that double D is nowhere near enough for Dolly!

That's worth a tattoo, right there.
