Gentle Readers . . . and Maxwell,
I hope you'll visit the ab fab author Nicki Elson at Nicki Elson's Not So Deep Thoughts. She's added my rafflecopter to her blog and if you send a birthday card to me for my mother-in-law, Nicki will give you a free digital copy of her short story that involves three octogenarians.
As you may recall, my goal is to send 80 cards to my mother-in-law, Margaret, for her 80th birthday. You can get 10 entries in my giveaway for sending a card for Margaret to

You have six more days to enter the giveaway, and a variety of ways to enter. Become a new follower of my blog, earn five entries. Follow me on Twitter, get an entry. These are merely a couple of examples.
Prizes are three books, two Amazon gift cards, one t-shirt, and $150 worth of editing by moi.
I know you want to know if I've received your card. During the past few days, cards have arrived from the following people: Andi, Jordan, Kianwi, Juli, Sandy in Michigan, Ron, Sophie Doodle (yes, dogs can send cards), Jim, Jo-Anne, Carol, Linda, Linda's exbf, Jay, and Kellie.
That's 14 more cards. Now let's add 14 to the 20 cards we already have, divide by the square root of 7, and add a little pi (apple, please).
We have 34 cards! We're almost halfway there!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Keep those cards coming. If you've already sent one, maybe your significant other or your dog could send one.
Infinities of love,
Janie Junebug

ReplyDeleteThank you, John. I bet it will get here this week.
DeleteI suppose Patsy Cline would like to send a card. Maybe Thelma, too. I will go ask.
ReplyDeleteI bet Patsy will say, Crazy. I'm crazy for sending a card.
DeleteHow many points do your current, but steady, long-time followers get in points? lol
ReplyDeleteYou've been logging in to Rafflecopter, haven't you? Make sure you do.
DeleteMy math may not be as solid as my ability to describe a heinous smell, but 34 is "more than halfway" to 80? But I'm also on 15 types of cold medicine right now. Hopefully you get there, but even the attempt is super sweet of you.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I had already noticed my confusion. Too much champagne. It's corrected. And I will get there, no matter what. Watch out, World.
DeleteI'm keeping my fingers crossed that you reach you goal for Margaret.
ReplyDeleteI'll reach it, God willin' and the crick don't rise.
DeleteGood news about the cards! Hope you make 80 :)
ReplyDeleteI will make it even if I have to accost strangers on the street and force them to sign cards.
DeleteWill get mine soon, Janie.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Peaches!
DeleteI'm glad mine's arrived, that was quick!
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed at how quickly cards have gotten here from England and Australia.
DeleteI sent a card on Friday, just so you know. What else? I guess I should enter again in the card column. Have a nice rest of Sunday, dear Janie.
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear Inger.
DeleteYay!! Mine got there. I was getting worried. And Jordan and Sandy are my people (well, if Jordan is from Michigan :) It makes me so happy to know they sent them!!
ReplyDeleteYou have true friends, and I know why. It's because you are so sweet.
