The Winner IS...ta ta da!

This is how we roll around here. 11 entries for the dark and dreary tale of airy fairy land, land of 1000's of words.....


Picked by the man with the random hands, no random integer required. All very up and up recorded on film with my new camera.


This camera is so cool you can read the winner for yourself. And Lynne I would rather read your stories but you email me your address and your new book is on the way.

It should never be a second thought. It really is the first thing always. Happy Independence Day while we still have freedom let us remember all those who have given their life's blood that we can have this day. And pray for all those who fight and defend now. Don't forget Jeri's husband over at "In the Gutter," he is in Iraq now and just re enlisted for 6 more years. Grandma J's son in law and many many others, including my grandson in the marines.

Freedom is not free. It's not just a slogan.

That video almost made me cry. I'm so glad there was a "coming home" photo at the end.

Can't wait to get my book! Thanks.

awww, bless you, I LOVE your closing line. Thank you for praying for my husband, as his time gets nearer to coming home I get more worried-- it's how I roll-- so thank you.
And CONGRATS to Lynne! Your random integer is much more fun and interesting to watch :-)

Sheesh I missed a few posts while I was busy filling a BIG order! I love homemade pickles. I embarrassed myself when I went over to a friends house and ate ALL her canned pickles. Bread and butter are my favorites!

HOT here today--75 :-)

I am in love with your new camera : ) And I think your husband has very nice hands. They tell a story!

I keep forgetting to thank you for the book. I haven't read it yet, life is busy here for a bit. In fact I think time has speeded up and the scientists are afraid to tell us because we will freak out. Anyway, thank you for the book and for your blog too and I'm thinking about you and your health and hoping for the best.
