An Anniversary

Can it really be true that I've been blogging for three years today?

A BIG THANK YOU to my faithful Random Readers for helping to make my journey a most enjoyable one.

To celebrate I thought I'd steal an idea from Jen over at unedited. Which is...what would you like to know about me that you don't already think you know? Go ahead, ask me questions. Just please let's keep it PG. You're questions can be about anything. But of course the flakier the questions the better chance you have of winning....

Oh didn't I say there was going to be a contest?

All you have to do is post your questions by November 3rd. Three winners will be announced November 5th. I will answer all questions in due course, but the questions that tickle my fancy best (a purely subjective contest for sure) will recieve these!

First Place: Three TATTED SNOWFLAKES (get it, flakes, flakier?) which have any number of uses. The snowflakes range in size from 3 inches to about 2 1/4 inches across.

Second Place: This 3 inch tatted tassel angel.

Third Place: This little wreathe just an inch in diameter.

So help me celebrate! Jump in with both feet, or head first, make snow angles, or snow balls, what ever suits ya and let's party!

A Random Thought - An Odd Anniversary

Yesterday was a kind of odd day and I really didn't know if I wanted to share it. But today I feel a bit differently and so it goes under the Random Thought heading.

Yesterday was the 20th anniversary of my father's death. It was also the 19th anniversary of my uncle's death.

My father and my mother's brother, were like oil and water. That in itself isn't so odd. In-laws are notorious for not getting along very well. So I guess we were all lucky that these two rather opposite men somehow managed to tolerate being in each other presences.

What is odd is that they died on the same day, exactly a year apart and that they died of the same thing, liver cancer.

There really isn't anything more to say except...your families still miss you both.
