Here I am, tucked in the lobby of the hotel and jotting things online with the words "not secure" in the url bar... but I'm risking it all to say to all of youse! Good morning! Congrats to all winners and I'm looking forward to another fun week! It's in the forties and windy in NYC, so not too much fun outside stuff to do, but right now I'm doing revisions and drinking great coffee, so all is well here! Waving from the lobby!
ReplyDeleteRuthy, you are such a good role model, working even while on a trip!
DeleteI'm always nervous about those not secure warnings. Thanks for taking a chance to chat with us! :)
DeleteCongratulations to all of the winners!
ReplyDeleteJan, a big congrats on your eighth book...that's awesome!
Happy weekend everyone.
Way to go, Jan! Eight books and counting! :)
DeleteWell this has been a week. More car trouble, now BOTH cars in the shop (different shops) and we are making do with one rental. Also swamped in Tuesday/Wednesday's Nor'easter. But we didn't lose the power.
ReplyDeleteJust put my second entry into this year's Genesis. Now off to do all the things we couldn't do when snowed in.
See you Monday,
Sorry about the cars, KB! Congrats on entering the Genesis! Keep us posted!
DeleteKB, when it rains it pours (no Nor'easter pun intended!), especially with car woes. Whoot on entering the Genesis. Yay!! :)
DeleteThanks for a great week at Seekerville and congratulations to the winners. Thank also for sharing the link to the Christian Scavenger Hunt winners list.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
The Scavenger Hunt was a blast. I've got to mail out my winners as soon as I meet my deadline. LOTS of stuff to do when I meet the deadline. Thursday's the magic day. :)
DeleteOh wow -- thank you so much, Seekerville!!! This is awesomesauce!!!! And congrats to the Great Expectation finalists -- recognize some names in those lists. I just got news that a bookstore has copies of If I Live by Terri Blackstock on the shelves....I predict a crazy, meandering two bus journey in my very near future.
ReplyDeleteTerri Blackstock is so good, isn't she, Kav! Sorry about the extended bus trip to find her latest release. You do so much for writers!!!! Hugs!
DeleteLike you, I loved seeing Villagers listed as finalists for the Great Expectation contest!!! Yay to all!
Congrats on winning the Amazon gift card, Kav. I also predict a fun online shopping trip in your near future as well! ;)
DeleteCongratulations to the winners!
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend!
Happy weekend to you, too, Caryl. We lose an hour tonight. Not conducive to my busy weekend. Sigh. But I do like the extra hour we get in the fall, so I shouldn't complain. lol
DeleteThis year is passing much too quickly! Easter will be here in the blink of an eye. And tonight we Spring Ahead!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winners and GE finalists! Woot!
Waving to Ruthy in NYC! Glad you're not snowed in!
Debby, the older I get, the more I realized how short life really is. An hour, a day, a year is simply no time at all any more.
DeleteSo true, Pam!
DeleteHappy Weekend everyone. I am enjoying a bit of downtime after the stressful past two weeks with my mom's passing and funeral. The sandhill cranes are back in Nebraska and Daylight Saving Time starts so spring is surely here soon.
ReplyDeleteSandy, so sorry about your mom, but I'm glad that you're finding the time to relax and enjoy God's creation. Nature is one of the best healers I know. Blessings, friend.
DeleteSandy, I'm praying comfort for you and your family during this difficult time as only our ultimate comforter can give. I pray you get some much needed relaxation and peace in the coming weeks:))
DeleteThank you, Pam and Pat, for your good thoughts and prayers.
DeleteCongrats to the winners and thanks for the WE today!
ReplyDeleteHello, Valri! Hope your weekend is fantastic. I actually peeked outside today and it was so beautiful. Temps were nice, but alas, I couldn't take the time to enjoy it today. But I will soon. Next weekend, for sure!
DeleteCongratulations to all the winners! Looking forward to next week. :)
ReplyDeleteMe, too, Kelly. It's going to be a fun week.
ReplyDeleteScavenger Hunt was fun! Thanks to all the authors that participated!
ReplyDeleteOkay I'm a bit later than normal....but Happy WE everyone!! Congrats to the winners this week. I'm definitely looking forward to Ruthy's post on Wednesday "What Reader's Want". :-)
ReplyDeleteBlessings!!!
