ReplyDeleteHi Claudia,
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your tea!
It's freezing and snowing here, too. Brrr. I just baked some chocolate chip cookies for the grandkids and Walt has a pot of ham and beans in the crockpot. We'll be staying inside all day.
Thanks Donna! Stay warm and safe!
ReplyDeleteDonna--Thanks for the link. I don't have a brr--brr--brr brilliant idea, but I will think about it. (It's freezing out there.)
ReplyDeleteThank you for your generosity. I've eaten ten pounds of junk today.
ReplyDeleteHey Donna, thanks for passing this along. Hope your new year is starting out fabulous and you are staying warm!
ReplyDelete100 words! That's next to impossible! Thanks for the link. I might give it a whirl.
ReplyDeleteSee that message I just wrote? That's 16% of the words we're allowed!
Thanks for passing this along! Hope you enjoy your cookies and your time with the grandkids!
ReplyDeleteIt keeps telling me the page is not available! Wonder if I'm doing something wrong?
ReplyDeleteStay warm, Donna!

Hi All,
ReplyDeleteWhen I first posted this the link t the contest information was live, but now it is not. I'm hoping it's just because the contest hasn't opened yet and the RD folks shut it down until it officially opens.
All I can say is keep trying.
Thanks so much for the info, Donna! Hope you and your gang are staying warm! Wishing you a belated Happy New Year! :)
ReplyDeleteI hope it shows up, but then again, Donna, if I can't write anything lewd or libelous or otherwise inappropriate--well, that leaves out most of my life stories. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Donna. I will definitely check this out.
ReplyDeleteHi Karen,
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome. Happy New Year to you and yours!
Hi Cathy,
Aww. I bet you have a story or two that's not lewd or libelous or otherwise inappropriate.
Hi Janet,
You're welcome. Hope the site is back up soon, and good luck if you enter.
Thanks, Donna. I may have something! Oh wait, it said it couldn't be lewd. I'll have to think of something else! (kidding).
ReplyDeleteThanks Donna, for the links and the info. This is definitely going on my to-do list!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Donna for this information! I will look at it when the contest opens.
