This And That

It is Thursday already, it seems like I should still be in the sunny south soaking up some rays and eating all the yummy things at The Golden Corral buffet. My waistline tells me I indulged too much but oh was it worth it!

I have lots of odds and ends to attend to today so here goes.

BJ over at Sweet Nothings is having a give away that only has a few days left to enter so run over and take a look at the adorable rooster plate that she is giving away on Saturday! Actually let me see if I can paste and copy the picture........isn't that pretty!!! Of course I am going to win it so I don't want the rest of you to be too disappointed!

Stephanie over at Mississippi Songbird gave her regular readers two nice awards this week. Thank you Stephanie, I love them and will proudly put them on my sidebar! I also would like to pass them along to my regular readers to enjoy. Admit it, awards are so much fun to get, I think it makes us all feel special.

I had a nice surprise when I got home from Florida waiting for me. Myrna over at Cherish the Word had a give away that I won (see me smiling!)! It was Jan Karon's latest book in the Mitford series called Home To Holly Springs. If you haven't read the Mitford series you are really missing out. I have read all of them so far and they are a delight! I will read this one and then pass it along for some one else to enjoy. Thanks Myrna!!!!! xoxox

I want to announce that my dear niece Jo-Lynne better known as dcrmom is now designing blogs! She has a real fresh approach to her designs that are fun and eye catching. If you are in the market for a new design check her out at dcrdesigns! She also has been selected to go to Disney World in April for a Mom's Blog Seminar, all expenses paid!! Congratulations Jo-Lynne, I know you will have lots to contribute to the seminar!

Now I am going to do something that grandmother's do occasionally....... ahem.....I am going to brag about my granddaughter T! She is in kindergarten in a school with about 110 other youngsters. They have an art program and every year pictures are chosen to be displayed at our local Mall. The pictures are by students from K through high school and T's picture was chosen to represent her school. (grandmother with another big smile) Of course we had to go out and see it on the wall and take a picture 'cause that's what grandmothers do! They were supposed to draw something with shapes, designs, along with the subject which is a cat. She said it is Noodles. Good job T!
Have to put in just a couple more Florida pictures from our mini adventure.
