ONE-YEAR BLOGIVERSARY


"LADY BY A WINDOW WRITING"
Georg Friedrich Kersting
Today, on my one-year blogiversary, I had planned to write a post mulling over the previous year's events. But instead, I found myself taking not one, but two naps. One must honor one's body's needs, and today, my body needed rest.
But I did want to come by here at least for a moment today, to announce the winner of my drawing in celebration of one year of blogging. The winner, drawn from the names of people who commented on my Book Club post, is Diana! Diana, you may choose a book from among the books - or the authors - listed in the post. Congratulations!

  19. Happy one year anniversary blogging ~ and congratulations to your winner!!
    I love to take naps, especially in the winter, maybe its a hibernation thing. How are you feeling, is your arm any better?

    Oh, by the way, you asked ages ago if I was from Louisiana or Mississippi ~ Mississippi it is!

  25. Happy Blogiversary Julie - glad you're celebrating the way YOU want - after all cake with candles, champagne and chocolates, a bunch of helium filled balloons on the mailbox wouldn't be anywhere near as healthy!

    We're so glad we have you out there doing what you do. Just make sure you get those hands well so you can keep writing your fabulous posts.

    Lovely painting too.
    Hugs - Mary.

  27. H*A*P*P*Y
    B*L*O*G*I*V*E*R*S*A*R*Y !

    WOO-WOOING AND DANCING AN IRISH JIG! And coming from MATHENY and DRUMMY, my feet instinctively know how!

    FROM "FINIAN'S RAINBOW":

    Sharon McLonergan: Do you feel a warmish, kind of glowish, peculiarish sensation?

    Og: No... it's a sort of quiverish, shiverish, flibberty-gibberish sensation!

    Sharon McLonergan: Does it make you feel hummingbirds in your heart?

    Og: Butterflies in my feet!

    Sharon McLonergan: Bees in your bonnet!

    Og: [dancing] Stars in my britches!

    Sharon McLonergan: It makes you want to dance!

    Og: [falls over] I hadn't noticed.

    CHEERS TO ANOTHER YEAR!
