So Rupert from Survivor is from Indy and has done tons of public appearances but we have never wanted to stand in line. Today we went to the Flower and Patio show and there he was with only one person that he was talking too. So, TK was terrified of him and neither Calvin nor TK knew who he was and the girls don't know who he is either but they had stayed at the neighbors while we went.
This rude lady went in front of us and actually cut in line-she was like 50-60 age range. She started a conversation with him and he said with a big smile, hold on. Stuck his hand out ask my name and ignored her and talked to us. Then she started asking me questions about whether we were foster parents and where we got our training and I tried to explain everything and finally said why don't you go to their website I have explained it to the best of my ability. Crazy people everywhere!!!
So here is a pic and signed pics for us and he also gave me an autographed book "Rupert Just Being Me"
This guy is amazing and he is taking teen kids that rotate out of foster care at 18 and giving them a place to stay and a job. Rupert also helps them enroll in college. He is a big man with an even bigger heart, him and his wife are a blessing to many. My mom and my kids also got to meet him. My mom was buying a new car and just gave her nice full sized van in great working order to him for his organization.
