Well, it has been quite a week for news hasn't it??? The Jodi Arias verdict, the new Benghazi hearings, and the 3 found missing women. What an interesting week of developments. What a fascinating world we live in.
And speaking of news. . . how about the winner of my 5 Year Blogaversary Blog Candy!?!?!
Here is the prize package to refresh your memory:
There was actually a total of 56 comments, however one person asked not to be in the drawing, one person entered twice, one was my best friend and not eligible, and one was an anonymous comment who did not leave a name in the comment. So, there was a total of 52 valid entries into the drawing. I was going to use Random.Org to come up with a number, but that is too boring. So I wrote all of the valid entry names on strips of paper, wadded each up and threw them on the floor. I then gave Shotsy the command "Bring!" I use this command if I have dropped something on the floor for him to pick it up and give it to me (he would have made a great service dog!). Shotsy looked at all the paper balls and looked back at me like "Daddy! How am I going to bring all of those to you???" LOL Bless his sweet heart. So I told him "Bring!" again, and he walked over to the pieces and picked one up and handed it to me. How random was that, huh??? I wish I had thought to video it, that would have been a great video!
I'm sorry you all couldn't have won a prize. . .I just wish I was really rich so I could shower you all with grand prizes. . .
Thanks for all of your congrats, well wishes, and sweet comments. They mean so much to me!
'Til next week!
Hugs,
Curt
