Gentle Readers . . . and Maxwell,
The meaning behind the title of this post is that you'll get today's news tomorrow, which should be Monday because as far as I know, today is Sunday.
After I go to the post office tomorrow, I'll tell you how many cards we have. We won't be up to 80 yet, but no need to fret. More cards are in the mail, and I have lots of extra birthday cards. I can ask my neighbors to sign cards and ask all the servers at the local restaurant that Willy Dunne Wooters and I haunt.
I'm going to mail the cards, along with my Christmas present for Margaret, on the 20th. I'll use priority mail so everything is there before Christmas. If I receive some cards after the 20th, I'll send them along as I get them.
Of course, the giveaway has ended. Tomorrow, when I tell you how many cards we have, I'll also announce the winners.
Hang in there everybody! For those of you who have snow, don't give yourself a heart attack shoveling. It was kind of warm and sticky here. Then it rained yesterday evening and most of the night. It cooled off some.
We had a tiny cold snap recently. Harper started growing a winter coat. Then it warmed up, and he started losing the winter coat. His fur doesn't know what to do.
See ya tomorrow!
Infinities of love,
Janie Junebug

We had a husky like that. She was ALWAYS blowing her coat. Can't wait to see how close you got... such a fun idea!!
ReplyDeleteAnd no Tony's were harmed in shoveling the rainy wintry mix we had, honest. :)
Did you have The Society for The Protection of Tonys on hand to keep him safe?
DeleteI hope lots of people send you cards for Margaret--I think what you're doing is VERY nice!!
ReplyDeleteWe might not have 80 by the 20th, but we'll be very close. I won't have any problem closing the gap.
DeleteYes, it's nice, but doing it is making me just as happy as I hope receiving the cards will make Margaret.
DeleteI'm glad the cards are still rolling in. Hopefully you'll get to 80!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'll get to 80 if I have to sign a few cards with pseudonyms and write with my left hand. Willy Dunne Wooters can sign a card, too, and so can Harper and Franklin.
DeleteHad a "cold snap", did ya? Plunged all the way down to 75, did it?
ReplyDeleteI hope you come real close to your target number of 80 cards. (That really is a sweet thing for you to do.)
Actually, I think we might have gotten down in the fifties, or even a little chillier at night. I can still deal with the cool weather, but Willy Dunne Wooters and Favorite Young Man have gone native and want it to be 80 degrees all the time.
DeleteNo snow here in Portland but so cold we didn't venture out. Take care.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it's nice to stay in the house and have a cozy, relaxing day.
DeleteCrazy Florida weather. I love it.
ReplyDeleteHA! Crazy weather for crazy people.
DeleteSadie is having the same issue with her fur. I hope she loves the cards such a cool idea.
ReplyDeleteI'm positive she'll be delighted about the cards.
DeleteDear Janie, you've certainly done a yeoman's job with regard to birthday cards for your mother-in-law. I hope they raise her spirits and help her appreciate all the good she's done during her life. Peace.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dee. Doing this makes me very happy.
DeleteA cold snap… lol
ReplyDeleteWe had some snow, then it melted, then it rained… and now I'm not sure what's going. Glad the cards are still coming in ;)
I know at least another 6 -10 are in the mail. I can come up with the rest.
DeleteSnow? We definitely got snow. I got a full 8 inches Friday night. Of snow.
ReplyDelete-andi
I got more than 8 and it doesn't even snow where I live. HA! Take that!
DeleteI got the third card in the mail today. Don't ask me what I did with #4! But, it will be along to PO tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI am excited to know how many card you managed to get I hope you make the 80 mark. The snow you can have all to yourself although right now my legs are cool maybe I should turn the a/c off.
ReplyDeleteWe won't have any snow where I live, Jo-Anne. We had some rain over the weekend, though.
DeleteI'm glad you will manage to get enough cards by hook or crook. I sent the one and completely forgot to send another one. I would have had to make one and I've been busy getting out my Christmas cards. So sorry! I'm sure she will appreciate all the effort! :)
ReplyDeleteNot a problem, Lovely Rita. The card situation is under control.
