After a year of blogging, this Thanksgiving I have something else to be thankful for.  That is you, my dear friend.  Thanks for giving me more reasons to blog.

Hi Tammy,

Thank you for visiting my blog and following along. I appreciate it very much and I'm having a fabulous time looking around your lovely blog. I'm off now to check out your previous blog so I can get to know you better.

What a great giveaway. Good luck to all. Is that your front porch? I adore a front porch and use ours all of the time.
Have a great weekend.

Donnie said...

Now I understand. I really thought I was following you before by your style and all but now I get it. I'm glad you're branching out and I love how you have started anew. My son is 38 and has 16 more months of RN school so I know you're proud of your husband.

Your giveaway is lovely. I'm a follower and I put a button/link up to you is that good? Have a great day.

Sandra said...

Hi! Thanks for leaving such a sweet comment. Kudos to your hubby for being in med school! Third year? That is great! Like I posted about my son...he is in his 2nd year, is attending UT Med. School in Houston and loves it. The learning experience he is getting is truly one of the best. The hospitals are considered some of the best, if not the best, in the country. He is really enjoying it. We went all over Texas when he was going for his interviews for med school. When he interviewed in Houston, he knew right away that he wanted to go there. Gosh, I just about wrote a book here! lol I'm so glad to have found your blog.
Kudos to your husband and you! :)
Sandra
