The Drawing

Well, it's Saturday night and it's now 7:45 pm. I've been on pins and needles for the past two weeks and excited about my giveaway. Tonight, the Mary's were lucky...Mary Isabella in the good old US of A and Mary (Mary Quite Contrary) from across the pond. I'm sorry everyone couldn't be a winner but I'm looking forward to the 500 post giveaway and it'll have to be even more special than this one is. I happen to think this one was very special! Congratulations to the winners. Oh, and by the way, this is my 268th post...500 can't be to far away!

I just did my 251st post. Didn't even realize I had approached the "250" mark, much less surpassed it. I'm such a blabber-mouth, huh? lol; January 27, 2008 at 4:53 PM

Life Lessons and Mottos to live by

A Veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life". That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it. Anonymous....
I include this for my husband Mac, a Navy Veteran of 30 years who never did less than his duty or more for his Country

Always smile broadly at your enemies.
It will make them nervous wondering
what you're up to!

If it's free, it's for ME! Words to live by

Is it just me, or are clowns kind of scary?

As you travel life's highway always remember that DOG is GOD spelled backward and act accordingly

Well intentioned advice falls on deaf ears

An enemy takes up more space in our head than a friend does in our heart...

"Lord help me be the person my dog thinks I am."
