Thank Goodness, Its Monday!

     Whew!  The weekend is, more or less, over.  Sunday is my absolute busiest day of the week.  Well, that is, unless you count Monday through Saturday... then, its just a contest as to which day is the busiest.  I don't know if you manage to stay that busy.  I often wonder if the reason I'm so busy is because I don't think like other people; you know, organized.  Actually, I don't really think that's the reason, though, because I know so many people who are just up to their earlobes in busy.

     How d'ya' s'pose we got this way?  So busy, I mean?  As I understand it, our ancestors did all their own baking and cooking, cleaning, making their own clothes... by hand, hunting, fishing and who knows WHAT ALL.  Still, they had time to sit down in the evening and enjoy a sunset, once in awhile.  Don't believe me?  Just ask Laura Ingalls Wilder.  Or, Anne of Greene Gables.  They knew how to find time for relaxing.

     So, what am I doing wrong?  I mean, my good hubby-buddy does everything in the house, just so I will have time to sit and write.  And that's pretty-much all I do, too.  Yet, here I am, scrambling to keep up with... MYSELF.  There's gotta' be something wrong with that.

     If you happen to walk by and see me doing something that is counter-productive, won't you please just step in and get me pointed in the right direction?  Surely, you could help a fellow-blogger get back on track, couldn't you?  Thanks.

     Until the next time, keep a hug on.

Winner Revealed!

     Boy, is my face red!  PJ, from PJ's Prayerline helped me to realize that I didn't do my word search puzzle correctly.  You know, I was all done with it and I made O-o-o-o-o-o-o-n-e  L-i-t-t-t-t-t-t-l-e  adjustment and POOF!  Two words disappeared and the whole hidden message was changed.  Hmmmmmm.  I'm sorry.  I shall do better, next time.  Maybe.

     On the other hand, I'll bet this is one puzzle no one was able to solve.  So that makes me the winner, right?  haha.  You see?  You didn't think there was a positive side to this, did you?  Anytime I win, that's a positive side.

     The two words, Microscope and CSN were mispelled because of my last-minute adjustment, so I must apologize for my accidental winning streak.  Even if it is only one win.  However, that doesn't make me sorry that I won.  Mwahahahahahaha!

     I'd like to congratulate http://fictiongroupie.blogspot.com/ for winning My First Drawing and choosing the Hoberman Sphere as her prize.  I have sent her address to CSN Stores Online and she will soon receive this wonderful treasure.  I think I am just the littlest bit jealous am so thrilled for Roni.  Thank you, Roni, and everyone for playing along.  I don't know about you, but I have had the most fun.  Thank you all soooooo much.

******************************

     I do hope you will all be here on Monday.  I have the most marvelous surprise for you.  Do you remember when I told you a little bit about the Orphan Trains?  There is so much mystery surrounding this era in American history.  I was only able to tell you a little bit, but Donna N. Aviles will be here on Monday to share so much more. 

     Donna's grandfather was a Rider on one of the Orphan Trains!  She has so much to tell us!  So don't be late.  I'll be back tomorrow and I look forward to seeing you, then.  But you'll absolutely want to be here on Monday!  Eeeeee!  I'm so excited.

     Until the next time, keep a hug on.

Winner To Be Announced Soon

     I've been gone for awhile, due to illness and other things.  I do hope you don't mind, but it will be a few days before I can announce the winner of the drawing.  In the meantime, please help me spread the word that I will be consolidating all of my blogs into this one.

     Thank you all for following and commenting and for all the support you have given me.  As it turns out, three blogs are just a bit much for this person to try and keep up with, so over a period of time, I will be moving all of my posts into Yaya's Changing World, where you can read them all in one place.

     I won't be around much, this week.  I hope to post a couple of times, but it won't be every night, as I had been doing.  On Friday, or sooner, I will post the winner of the drawing.  I do hope you will understand, as I didn't really imagine I would be as sick as I have been.

     Now, I'd like to ask a favor of each of you.  Would you please choose five of my followers from Red Wagon Flights or five of my followers from Word Designer and help me spread the word that all of my activity will be moved to Yaya's Changing World?

     I will be posting as much as I can, between now and Saturday and hopefully, by then, I'll be able to get back on track and visit with you every day.  I do enjoy our visits together and always like to think that you do, too, so if you could please help me spread the word, I would so much appreciate it.  Thank you, in advance, for anything you can do that will help me get the word out.  Oh, yeah!  And you will want to be here on Monday because we have a very special event for Monday that I think you will all enjoy very much.

     Keep watching 'cause I'll be back whenever I can.  I'm posting this same message on both my other blogs, in hopes that many of you will help out.  Thank you so much for all you do.  Until the next time, keep a hug on.

Saturday Should NOT Fall On Monday!

     Yee-Haw!  I have finally figured out that Friday through Monday are VERY  busy days.  In fact, Tuesday through Thursday aren't terribly slack, if you ask me.  How do so many of you do it?  How do you have specific days for what you write?  I've tried.  I've really, really tried to break it down so I could have Saturdays for games.  Evidently, though, its not gonna' work out, that way.

     I still wanna' post word games for you, though.  In the first place, you seem to enjoy them.  In the second place, I love making them.  And in the third place, well.  hmmmm.  Well, I just don't know what the third place is.  A little help?

     So, here's what I was thinking:  Instead of posting a game on the same day each week, I will post a game as often as seems reasonable (hopefully, at least once a week) and you can come here and play.  Also, instead of waiting to post the answers on another day, how's about I have a place where the answers Live?  That way, when you feel you have your puzzle solved, you can check and make sure.  Sound like a plan?

     Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.  I'll let you in on a little secret, too.  I Loooooove blogging.  In fact, I think my mama was right.  She said that I loved to talk so much that, one day, if I wasn't careful, I would run out of words.  Hah!  I think I may have found a way around that little problem.  As long as I can write and share on my blogs, I can talk and talk and talk and NEVER run out of words on accounta' I'm not really speaking!  Am I clever, or what?
     I'll put a link on each of my other blogs so everyone will know what's happening.  In this way, when I am in a Game-Making mood, I can Have a Ball.  And when I feel like sharing stories, well, I can do that, too.  Whaddya' think?  Is this something that you might enjoy?  Lemme' know your thoughts and we'll work from there, k?  Thank you all for your support and kind words.  So many of you have given me great advice and continue to help me out in so many ways.  I truly appreciate it, more than I can say.  So, don't be shy.  Keep sharing your views with me.  And 'til the next time, keep a hug on.
