I Did It!!

I posted thirty straight days (well, except for that one little snafu, which we will not talk about!) I am not sure I will do this again next year. If I do, I think what I might do is find quotes or photos to use as writing prompts so I will not have to resort to silly posts about sock monkeys being the star of the show. Okay, I am out of here, off to catch up on my blog reading and then, no telling what.

THE END

Twenty-Nine Days

I've got a couple of posts going in my head and Cathy, I will get to the meme in the next day or so, but right now it is the end of a very long day and I am ready to crash. Or maybe I am just lazy!

Yesterday's Post? Blogger Ate It

Yeah, that's what happened.

It isn't that I got mixed and thought I had already posted for yesterday. No, it wasn't that at all. I'm telling you, it's all Blogger's fault. That's my story and I am sticking with it.

Or it might be that David jinxed me when he said "Annie, I think that you are going to make it through the thirty days of blogging! Yes, yes, I am sure of it!"

One thing is for certain, it is not my fault!

I'll be back later with today's post.

Three Years Ago Today

I walked through the door to Blogland and found all sorts of interesting characters. It's been fun.

Day 27:
Thankful for the creative outlet of blogging.

The Star of the Show

For a limited time at Cracker Barrel restaurants, for only $4.99, you too can have a brilliant partner to help you write stupendous posts as we enter the last few days of National Blog Posting Month.

Any of you remember having one of these sock monkeys as a child? This one is only about four inches tall, meant to be a Christmas ornament. I am a sucker for miniature things. I had to have him, for no good reason!

Yes, I know, I am seriously scraping the bottom of the barrel--only four more days to go!

Day 25

Before

After

This is a photo I fixed for the woman I work with. It is of her mother and was taken in the forties. Her mother died a few months ago. When I brought the fixed copy in for her to see, she was so surprised and pleased, I thought she was going to cry. It was a 5X7 photo so it was a nice size to work with, much better than working on a snapshot.

So I did do something constructive in my long weekend off from work.

In other news, my graphic for the 30 Days of Thanks seems to have disappeared into thin air. I had the HTML code on Blogger but even that is not working so the link must be broken on the original site. I am not going to worry about trying to fix it now since there are only 5 days left of this whole NaBloPoMo business (which does not mean I will cease being grateful, only that I will probably not post it here!)

Day 25: Thankful to do something to make someone else happy.

(Darn! Now I see my bowling shoe and R. T. Harris quote pics are missing too! What is going on?)

Sadness

Yesterday was full of sunshine and shadow. Today it is raining and cold, making it hard to see anything other than the shadows.

Day 24: Thankful for my home in this time of darkness, for lights that shine within my windows.
