My achy breaky heart!!!

Cassi and her friend in front of the Billy Ray Cyrus display at WalMart.

Fan who waited all Night shared this signed glossy of Billy Ray looking prettier than his daughter Miley.

That's as close as we got to Billy Ray because of the big balding guy in the white shirt...Walmart body guards if you will!!!

So...today...I think I jumped head first into the preteen years with my 8 year old. My phone rang this morning and it was my sister calling to inform me that Billy Ray Cyrus was signing autographs at the local Santee Walmart (yes...gotta love the venue!!!). My daughter told her I was still asleep so she asked her to pass on this delicious piece on information to me...unbeknownst to my sister that he is the father of Disney's teen sensation Hannah Montana. I think my sister thought I would get a kick out of the fact he had fans.

Well...my daughter and her friend were ecstatic. There was no doubt in their minds that we were going to brave the crowds and the heat to meet Miley Cyrus's hunk of a father. Me...I'd already seen him sing in the pouring rain after a Padres game years ago when Achy Breaky Heart was huge. Even then we had absolute front row seats to see this mullett wearing country singer.

Off we went to the local WalMart because I was sure no one would be standing in line waiting to see this "Dancing with the Stars" loser. Boy was I wrong! In the 90+ degree heat the line was all the way around the WalMart and getting longer by the second. There were fans of all ages everywhere! I was told that from the spot we had in line it would be at least a four hour wait. Guess we should have got there at midnight like the rest of them!

I talked the two girls into seeing if we could catch a glimpse of him in the store and then buying the new Hannah Montana CD...

So that's the pics you have up top. Our glimpse of Billy Ray Cyrus signing autographs for all of those adoring fans who braved the WalMart parking lot in the super hot heat...TRUE fans if you ask me! We asked one of those fans if we could take a picture of their signed photos...after all Billy Ray had touched it!!! Sooo...here goes the next few years of my life chasing down the stars for Cassi...wonder who'll be next???

Oh...yes..I did buy his newest cd...there's always a chance it's good right?????

Enjoy!!!
