09-09-09

What were you doing at 9:09 pm on 09-09-09? I was enjoying some quiet time out in my gazebo and searching the web. The weather was breezy and cool - hinting at the coming of fall. I came across a great idea called "Chasing 99." It's a website and blog that challenges us to read the whole bible, just the New Testament, or just the gospels and Acts in 99 days. Day 1 is on 9-9. I am challenging myself to read the NT. It will take about 15 minutes a day. Certainly I can watch 15 minutes less of television, or 15 minutes less of Facebook or computer time. Maybe even 15 minutes of time with Mr. Cricut (gasp!). If you'd like to join me, go to www.chasing99.org to get the overview and schedule and then check out the daily blog at chasing99nt.blogspot.com. Be blessed!

Free Hotdogs, Anyone?

I've been signing up for a lot of free things lately. I got 2 day's worth of Parent's Choice Formula, a sample of the new True Delights Strawberry Chocolate granola bar (yum) and some Dunkin Donuts coffee in the mail last week- all for Free. Here's another good one I just signed up for: For a Free pack of Oscar Meyer hotdogs, go HERE

Like Mother, Like Daughter

Hannah loves to stick her tongue out and watch when others do, too. It reminds me of my mom - she was always sticking her tongue out and trying to teach her grandkids to do it. Maybe she's been visiting Hannah!
