Someone gave me pink tulips for my birthday on February 23rd. I adore them. Here they are in the kitchen:
I'll post a photo of the tulips in a different spot in my house every day this week because they don't like to stay put. They want to see my world.
The tulips are such a beautiful present, and now I want to offer you the opportunity to win a present.
Can you guess who gave me the tulips?
- For every guess you make in the comments section of my blog, you get one entry. If you get the right answer, then you get ten entries. I will appreciate it ever so much if you will restrict yourself to one guess per day. You can guess every day this week. Guessing ends at midnight on Saturday, March 7th, EDT. If no one figures out who gave me the tulips, then I'll give you a clue each day, starting tomorrow.
- If you don't want to guess, but you want to make a comment, please go right ahead.
- If someone guesses who the giver is, I won't reveal that the answer is correct so that everyone can continue to guess.On Sunday, I'll put the names from the comments in a hat or a jar or something, and I'll pick a name, or maybe Franklin will draw the name. The person whose name is drawn will receive a gift from me and the person who gave me the tulips.
- This contest is limited to the U.S. and Canada because I simply cannot afford to ship the present half-way around the world.
- The present will be a surprise. I won't reveal what it is until I'm ready to send it. If you are the winner and you don't want the prize, I'll draw another name.
- I'll announce the winner on Monday, March 9th. If you are the winner and you want the gift, you have forty-eight hours to let me know your name and address. I will not reveal your personal information other than your blogging name. For example, if I won, then I would say that Janie Junebug won the gift.
Do you have any questions? I might have left out some vital information, such as WHO GAVE ME THE PINK TULIPS?
Let the guessing begin.

Infinities of love,
Janie Junebug
Was it Shady?
ReplyDeleteNo, but we should consider Mrs. Shady, who is pleased I keep Shady so busy online.
DeleteThey are beautiful. Linda Kay sent them.
ReplyDeleteNo, but that's a nice guess.
DeleteLeaping lizards, Janie Junebug, those tulips are beautiful! Somebody loves you big time. I think I remember you saying that WDW isn't the gifting type, so I'm gonna rule him out along with Brian Griffin, Archduke Ferdinand of Austria and Marvin the Tap-Dancing Horse.
ReplyDeleteMy official guess is that FYM (Favorite Young Man) gave you those flowers!
Happy Monday, dear friend Janie!
Nice guess. Thanks for trying.
DeleteIsn't there a fine young man who might have given you flowers...? I seem to recall you mentioning him but not the name. That would be my first guess. Lovely flowers.
ReplyDeletePerhaps you are thinking of my son, Favorite Young Man. No.
DeleteIt was WDW, right? Wait a second, that would be too easy. It was Special Young Man? I might be crossing my blogs here, everyone has these different pet names for the anonymous people in their life so I get confused. Fun contest. I love when fellow bloggers get all generous.
ReplyDelete"Special" Young Man amuses me because it suggests he took the short bus to school.
DeleteI think of all the people in your life we know of and cannot decide who to pick. So, another happy birthday, and we'll all enjoy the tulips.
ReplyDeleteAgreed.
DeleteOkay, my first guess is WDW.
ReplyDeleteThe Wooters man does not do the gift thing.
DeleteLovely pink tulips, Janie! I'd have several guesses, but first one would be WDW! Next would be that son, then maybe the Hurricane!
ReplyDeletexo Nellie
No, no, and no.
DeleteHappy belated birthday, my sweet friend! I hope it was as wonderful as you. And my guess? Hmmm. The Dowager Countess?
ReplyDeleteWouldn't she send violets?
DeleteHmm, I'll save my obvious guess for later in the week. For this guess I say Middle Child.
ReplyDeleteThey're lovely.
I have no idea who gave them to you, but I know it's not me. So my guess is "not me." Feel free to give me zero entries for that brilliant deduction. They are beautiful, though. :)
ReplyDeleteCorrect: not you.
DeleteThey were given to you by someone who holds you in very high regard. Did I guess right?
ReplyDeletePerhaps.
DeleteDear Janie, many people might give you pink tulips to say thank you for being a woman who grows and changes and embraces life. I'm thinking that your daughter gave you these. Peace.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good guess, but no. However, she called on my birthday and we had a nice chat.
Delete1. Willy Dunne Wooters.
ReplyDelete2. The Hurricane
3. Fine Young Man
4. Shady Del Knight
That's all I got...
no no no no
DeleteI'm a rebel...a loner...a rule breaker...a phone typer....
DeleteA correction: My son is Favorite Young Man. I'm not sure how fine he is.
DeleteThey almost match your dish soap.
ReplyDeleteI noticed that, too. I love coordinating colors.
DeleteThey're so pretty :D
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Birthday, Janie!!!
Oh, and I'm going with favorite young man as the giver.
Thank you, but no.
DeleteThose tulips are gorgeous. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteI say again, Linda Kay sent the tulips, (smile).
ReplyDeleteNo, but she's a pink tulip sort of person, isn't she?
DeleteYeah, Shady Del Knight. That's the ticket!
ReplyDeleteMrs. Shady wouldn't let you, and you know it, P.W.
DeleteNo guesses from me, but they sure are purty...
ReplyDeleteBe sure to thank your florist.
DeleteNice tulips. They are so pretty. Makes me miss the warmer months.
ReplyDeleteIt will be warm again soon.
DeleteWell I arrived late to the tulip party and see all of my guesses were "no" already...I would've guessed WDW
ReplyDeleteDefinitely not WDW.
DeleteWAIT!!!!! The last time I had tulips on my kitchen counter, I had bought them for myself, sooooooo...are them from you to you?!
ReplyDeleteNo. I don't like myself that much.
DeleteThese tulips are so pretty and I shall guess...George Clooney:)
ReplyDeleteHe wanted to send them, but his bride wouldn't allow it.
DeleteOh God, not the ex?!
ReplyDeleteHeavens no!
DeleteI'm trying to think of someone surprising. How about your ex-mother-in-law? Or your Ex?
ReplyDeleteEx-MIL is a good guess, but no. Ex? Have you lost your mind?
DeleteA fish.....no, no, that's not it. Let me think.
ReplyDeleteA FISH?
DeleteJilda, It's time to put Rick in the dementia unit.
DeleteHi Janie .. if it was the Hurricane - there'd be no tulips left .. hurricaned away ... who did we send cards to for her special birthday .. oh no can't be her - because it looks like they were hand delivered ... Franklyn perhaps?? They are a wonderful colour though .. and lovely birthday thought - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteFranklin would give me tulips if he could go shopping or use the telephone.
DeleteWas it me...............no it wasn't
ReplyDeleteWas it the crazy person who lives across the road.................no
Maybe it was............yourself...............did you give yourself tulips..............
If it were you, I hope you'd remember. I don't have a crazy person across the road, as far as I know. Just the people who have a pig. I haven't purchased flowers in many years.
DeleteI didn't read all the comments, so I don't know who guessed what. I'm going with the hot young guy who lives next door.
ReplyDelete-andi
Wouldn't it be nice?
