Happy Groundhog Day to You!

A sweet little package arrived yesterday at our house. I won a blog give-away last week and the Lemon Fudge arrived in very tasty condition! A very big thank you to Tuffet for the sweet gift. You can check out her blog here and get the delicious recipe. (Just scroll down below the muffins) The blueberry muffins look wonderful, too! She has a terrific blog.

So it's ground hog day and apparently he saw his shadow. We hear he has only been right 39% of the time over the past 100 + years. We'll have to see what happens. I thought I would mention a new little goal I set for myself ~ I posted it here at my "sister" blog. It really isn't all that little, but it is certainly inspiring me to be much better at how I organize and look at my day. I think I will be following up with weekly updates at the other blog. Hopefully that will keep me on track. Hope you all have a good, productive day with lots of sunshine and smiles!

And The Winner Is . . .

S P R I N G !

Congratulations!!

Her comment was:

Happy 100th Blog! You guys are so cool! Much love to your family! I will blog if it involves winning something, it's the Vegas in me baby!

She won the fashionable Santa Hat, $20 Movie Theater Gift Certificate,

Candy Canes, Lindor Truffles & Hot Chocolate! Enjoy!

A little bit about her reaction ... she was so thrilled and said it was perfect timing as she is right in the middle of preparing for finals. She was also anxious to know how many had entered - you see, she is taking a statistic class and found her win intriguing! :) When I delivered the gift basket to her I saw their beautiful nativity set on the table in her entry way. As I told her how much I loved it, she pointed out a special piece that I might not have noticed. When her 18 year old son was a little boy, he would place one of his little army men in a strategic place to guard baby Jesus. So now, each year the little fellow is packed away with the nativity and is there to keep the babe safe and sound.

Lindsey & Jake helped me and Lindsey was having so much fun watching Jake pull out the winner that she decided we should draw to see what order everyone came in. We have been informed by a farmers-almanac-junkie-friend that this year we are in for a real treat! On new years eve, the beginning of a new decade, it will truly be a 'once in a blue moon' moment! We can wish you all better luck then. For now, you can look below to see how it all shook out. Thanks again for your faithful following (hee hee) and for having some fun with us! Enjoy your weekend. Looks like we will be having a beautiful blanket of snow while we finish decking the hall!
