My Blogaversary Winner!! October 6, 2010

My Blogaversary Winner!! -  October 6, 2010

I apologize to everyone for not announcing the winner the day following my birthday.

As you know, I had so many good things happening that I got behind on tallying all the

comments and taking care of business.  There were 275 eligible commenters in the

drawing ( you had to be a follower of my blog to be included ). I did not do the random

thing...I am just not that competent.  What I did took a lot longer, I'm afraid.  I printed

each day's commenters on a list, then cut up the entries, then folded them and put them

in a huge sealed plastic container.  When I went out to get gas today, I asked the

attendant to draw one name ( I am sure he questioned my sanity ).  The winner of the

"big three" is Kay L. Davis.  She is a Canadian whose blog you may follow -

"an unfittie's guide to adventurous travel!"  Check it out! I'll be sending Kay the following -

Fifty Dollars

The most recent CD of my favorite jazz singer, Sony Holland

A copy of my poetry book

After I got home today, I had a friend pull two more names for a copy of "Life's Journey,"

my poetry book.  The winners are rainfield61 whose blog, "My Journey" is at http://rainfield61.blogspot.com/ and clean and crazy whose blog, "My Recovery," is at
 http://surrendertowin.blogspot.com/.  Check them both out - they are wonderful.

Thanks to everyone who participated in my blogaversary giveaway and who posted
during this time period,  I appreciate all of you who have become followers in the past
year and who have crossed my path at some time or other.  In the 20 months since my
job ended, you all have been a life line for me and have given so much to me.  I hope
I'll still be here with you next year at this time!!
