    Good morning, Seekerville!

    Like many of you, we have an icy, snowy day today. I'll be spending today and tomorrow afternoon at our local Cabela's, playing Santa's Helper. It's so much fun to watch the children's faces. :-)

    Congratulations to the winners!

    And congratulations to the First Impressions finalists!!!

    Have a great weekend, everyone!

    Happy Weekend, everyone. I'm excited I won "A Cowboy Christmas." So no need to put me in the drawing for the weekend prize.

    It is very cold and windy here. I go to work at the book store for a few hours. We are starting to see the Christmas rush beginning so should keep me busy.
