Happy Birthday to ME!!!! Today is the BIG day(actually Friday; I’m late). It’s been good. Lots of happy wishes for good things, presents, and a give-away.
The give-away is a summer fun package with lots of summer “stuff” in it. Here are some quick pics I hurriedly took of everything.

As I was leaving Walmart, the major source of the purchased items for the summer fun package, I ran into some friends from Ridgway who gave me a great idea. The awesome little item was already in my cart, and when they saw it, they began telling me about a birthday tradition that went on for several years among their friends in Ridgway. But wait. That’s further down the blog.
these things are sooo much fun! keep it handy for those quick, necessary moments when you really need to let someone have it!
First, I must tell you how very appreciative I am of my faithful blog buddies. I now have 41 subscribers!!!! Yee-haw!! That is great for my little mixed-up blog, my little blog with it’s personality as dorky as me, flitting from one subject to another from day to day.
You have all made me want to continue to keep it going. Thanks so much for your support and feedback.
And the winner is… oh, wait a second. I forgot to tell you how much fun I have shopping for you guys, how I know you would probably never buy some of these things and how I hope you enjoy them as much as you have helped me to enjoy this blog.
you know you're going to need these.
a handy tool, even in winter for those "older" women
This little guy below was the subject of the discussion in Walmart. They would pass him around on somebody’s birthday. If you were having a birthday that day, you knew that somewhere in your yard would be the gnome, the yard gnome. The person receiving the gnome would put their name and birth date on him somewhere, and wait to sneak him into some other anxious birthday recipient’s yard. So in starting my new blog tradition, I have put my name and birth date on Mr. Gnome. Every year I will give one away . Please don’t let me forget.
Everyone needs one of these in their yard. Thank me later.
And last but not least, no summer would be complete without this:
now you don't have to worry about missing the local carnival
I give everyone a number in the order they posted and then keep adding numbers for everyone. How many numbers you get depends on the “things to do” that you did. I think everyone did all of the requested “things to do,” so everyone got three numbers assigned. I can’t wait till the next one!!!!
Drum roll, please. The winner is:
Congratulations, Sheryl Woods!!
