I just started thinking last week, I wonder when my first post was? Well, it was April 22, 2008! And a big thank you to my son Dave who set this site up for me, and has tolerated all my calls and e-mails begging asking for help and demanding requesting tweaking. What a great guy! (And he’s single, handsome, funny, employed, treats his mother with respect most of the time . . .). And he’s going to hate this, but:
here is a picture I “borrowed” from his web site. Here he’s camping with some buddies; his beagle’s name is Tucson. (And yes, I know you’re not supposed to “borrow” other people’s pictures, but please consider the fact that I gave birth to this boy and he weighed well over nine pounds. No all-woman jury in the world would convict me!)
Anyway, I have been thinking about having a give-away to commemorate my blogiversary (no, I’m not giving Dave away!). I was thinking along the lines of a stack of fat quarters. Or maybe a nice pair of Ginghers. Or — you fill in the blank? Is there a book you can’t quite splurge on? Or should I put together a basket of surprises? You tell me, what should I give away?
This is going to be a quieter week with a lot of quilters at Paducah (boo-hoo, some year I’m going to go too), so those of you who are still out there — make your voices heard!
I will probably start the give-away in a week or so, the good Lord willing and the creek don’t rise (where did THAT come from???). I remember — it’s my dad. He’s been gone for almost ten years, and sometimes his little phrases and sayings pop into my head. I guess it’s another way of keeping him close to my heart. My dad was a maintenance guy who could fix anything on earth, and I think that’s his way of telling me I should include some sort of tool. Thanks, Dad.
