My 250th Post!

This is my 250th post! Whew! Where has the time gone? When I started this a year or so ago I didn't think I would make it past 10 posts let alone this many! It has been fun meeting so many wonderful people from all over the US, Canada and beyond.

To celebrate as you can see I have had a new blog design made by NW Designs. I was itching for a different look as I like changes and Nap Warden did a great job for me! Take a look at her site and see what she does!

I also am going to have a 250th Post Give Away. Actually I am going to have two, one for horsey type people and one for you more sane people that aren't obsessed with the big 4 legged creatures! The first is a book, The Riders Handbook by Sally Gordon is just jammed full of information on all types of riding and horse care. It's an amazing book. I have to limit this to US and Canada but you don't have to have a blog to enter. Good luck!

The other is the Better Homes and Gardens Christmas Cooking From the Heart cookbook. Again this is an amazing cookbook with things that you don't have to cook just at Christmas time. I guarantee that you will find some new recipes that will become some of your families favorites! I am drooling on my keyboard as I type.....





To enter just leave a comment on this post and mention it in one of your posts with a link back to me so that your friends have a chance to enter. People don't blog as much on the weekends so I will leave it open until Wednesday of next week. Put on your comment whether you are a horsey person or a normal person and tell me one fun thing about yourself that I don't already know! :o) I will draw the names out of a hat on Wednesday noon EST.

We had the lunar eclipse a couple nights ago and I got a few pictures. It was very cold out so I didn't stand on the porch long. Wish I had gone out a few more times and taken more of the progression but Noodles was trying to get out the door every time I went out and we don't allow them out at night as it's so cold.

My sons cat, my grand cat, was missing for a day and a half so my son called to see if I had seen her. She comes over quite frequently, coming in via the kitty door but I had hadn't seen her for a day or two. I decided to take a look around just in case she had gotten in the barn but the door is open enough so that she can go in and out so I knew she wasn't there. I came back into the garage and could hear a faint meowing and sure enough she was locked in the third garage where we keep the pickup! We don't use that unless it's really storming out so she must have gotten in there when Hubby took the truck and hid in the attic! There are plenty of things up there for her to sleep on but no food or water so I'm glad we found her when we did!!! She ran for home, went in and got something to eat and then went back out again!

Here's another shot of my hungry deer. They love their grain and usually fight over it but were actually sharing last night!

Spellcheck is back! Woohoo!!!!!!!!! Do I hear a collective sigh of relief? I was ready to give my first born child to blogger to get my spell check back!!! Thankfully I didn't have to, he might not have appreciated it.....
