Update (8/22/2013): Here is a post I did on Rhoda and Joe for the Me-TV Blogathon called (Re)Construction Worker Wanted: Reconsidering Joe Gerard!


A big Thank You everyone who submitted a post. These are wonderful love letters to one of our favorite small screen ladies.When I sent out links to these posts via Twitter, I added the hashtag #WeLoveValerie. First of all, it's kind of amazing that I am figuring out how to use Twitter, but aside from that, I can not think of three other words that mean more to me right now. It's true, we love you sooooo much Valerie! Thank you for everything!

Amanda - I haven't had much time yet to visit the entries but plan to this weekend. In the meantime, a huge THANK YOU for hosting this and putting it together so quickly! It's a wonderful idea and the entries reflect your enthusiasm. And of course, a love for Valerie!

Hello - I just added a Rhoda-in-her-wedding-dress photo to my change.org petition. Check it out and while you're there, please sign my Rhoda NYC Statue petition. This is to get TV Land to do a Rhoda/Valerie Harper statue, maybe near a subway station entrance. Check it out at: http://www.change.org/petitions/tvland-com-viacom-corp-create-valerie-harper-statue-near-nyc-subway-anywhere-in-nyc?utm_source=guides&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=petition_created
