~ A BIG THANK YOU ~

Have I got your attention now ?? Guess what time it is here at "Happy To Be"

Why it's a very" Happy To Be "Second year of blogging for me...Who would of thunk when I hit publish 730 days ago I would meet so many caring and wonderful people here in blog land..

Reflections:

Of 2 years in the neighborhood :

I can now understand the computer more ha ha!! But just when I think I have blogger down pat they change it again and I have to relearn it all over...And dang it's hard to teach this old dog a new trick..

Blog land is a big neighborhood and there is something for everyone likes and dislikes...Kinda like having cable if you don't like that channel just go to another ...

Blog land has a calendar like a retail store every season is early here we are putting out fall decorations while it still 104 degree outside ha ha!!

If we do a linky meme party for Monday we better be there on Sunday or will be late to the party...

Also if you join in a linky party brew a pot of coffee , take a No-Doze pill and pencil in that day as gone as you will be in front of your computer for many hours while you visit all the other party goers ha ha!! I have also learned that my butt has spread from sitting way too long ..

I also have learned it's not about the number of quantity followers you have but the quality of the followers you have...You know the ones that will always come by just to say Hi!!

I have learned this is a very caring and sharing neighborhood..You my neighbors have lifted me up when I'm down have prayed with me and for me, have cried with me and even laughed with me...

I have learned NEVER leave home without my camera and when I get my 3 daughters together I can scare them to death just by getting out my camera...as soon as they see it they shape up because "Oh No she'll have us on her blog" ha ha!!

I have learned that you my neighbors don't care that I wear my old red robe and need to comb my hair and that I need to tweak my upper lip hairs ha ha!! You just let me come each day into your home and accept me as I am...

You my neighbors have shared my joy in the births of my Great Grand babies, Have prayed for my Len with his heart problems and have just taken the time out of your busy day to let me know your there and you care...What a GREAT Neighborhood I have lived in now for 2 years...

I have learned that women all over the world still have the basic need to make a warm and loving home for their family...

I have learned I hate word verification as I think sometimes I have left a comment and moved on and Poof I didn't do the word thingy...And with comment moderations you don't need the word thingy...

I have learned that this neighborhood knows NO age barrier...Your invited winkles and all ha ha!!

I have learned how easy it is to say a kind word to someone you never met or will never meet...Because sometimes maybe a kind word is just the life line that person may need for the day...I know many times your kindness has reached through my monitor and just touched my old heart...

I have learned I LOVE this neighborhood...And I would like to say THANK YOU for letting me be your neighbor...

Now being this is my second year here I would like to give away 2 prizes to my loyal followers..

I have a $50.00 gift card from Amazon.com that will be send to you...
