FRIDAY VIEWS AND A GIVEAWAY

 

Hello friends,

Can you believe that one year ago today  I began this blog?  I can't.  What a difference a year makes.  You can read my very first post here.

I began this blog because I was very sick.  Very, very sick.  And I needed major surgery.  Or I would not be sitting here writing this to you now.  I would have been in my grave.  It was a traumatic time in my life.  I was so sick of repeating over and over what was going on and getting more and more upset with each telling.  So I started a blog to tell everyone the same thing at once.  When someone would ask me what was going on I would say "read the blog."  I would cry every day because I was sure I was not going to make it and I was upset about leaving Joe when he was so sick too.

I thank God every day for giving me more time on this earth to serve Him.  Through my illness I became so much closer to Him and trust Him more and more in my life.  I think I really needed that wake-up call.  It is so easy to become complacent with things.

But all of that being said, I thought I would celebrate by giving YOU a gift.  I still have lots of things my mom hand-made for our business.  For those who do not know, we owned a hand-made gift business.  We had a store at one point and later just went to craft shows.  So my give away is two autumn potholders.

They are hand quilted by my mom and just right to decorate your kitchen for the upcoming Thanksgiving season.  Of course they are useful too.

If you are interested in this giveaway, please leave a comment to this post saying you are interested in the potholders any time before Friday, November 4th.  I will choose a winner on Friday morning.  This is my first giveaway and I am really excited about it.  Good luck!

Today I was the only Library Assistant at the Fishtown Branch until the part-timer, Tracey, came in at 2 p.m.  I've done this before, so I knew it wouldn't be too hard.  Fishtown is NOT a busy branch.  I could have taken a nap and still not missed anything.  In fact, I finally finished the book I've been reading for two weeks because it was so slow and I had the time to do it.  I finally found out who did it!

When I got home I was so tired, I laid down for a half-hour and woke up 3 hours later when my girlfriend called me.  So we called out for dinner.  I hate to do that because it is so expensive, but sometimes you just have to.

Now it's really late so I am going to bed.  Lots to do tomorrow.
