9 Days in NC

Sunday luncheons, family reunions, days at the beach, shopping with sisters-in-law, and lots of fun with family. We had a great trip.

Rainstorm

Yesterday, while John was mowing the lawn, a sudden hard rain started. Rob was inside working, and raced outside to help his dad finish up. They were both running around the yard with the mowers while the rain was streaming off of them. Melo and I had a great time watching them, and taking pictures. Be sure to click on the pics to see the rain streaming down.

Free Offer

A couple of months ago I found this hard-to-pass-up offer on my niece's blog:

The first 5 people to respond to this post will get something made by me--my choice! This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:

1. I make no guarantees you will like what I make! (I can only hope!)
2. What I create will be just for you.
3. It will be done some time this year.
4. You have no clue what it's going to be--it may be cards, something delicious, a paper weight, or a complete surprise to you (and me)! Who knows?
5. Most importantly, you must offer the same deal on your blog. The first 5 people to comment on your blog post get something made by YOU!

I think people must have been scared off by it, because only 4 people commented on her offer. I took her up on it, so here is my official "I'm in the game" post.

It's the ultimate give and take!
