...since November 2006 when I started Blackberry Creek. It has been a very fun 700. I've met so many sweet people and made oodles of great friends. Thanks to all of you for reading my blog and for laughing, crying, and praying with me.
Seven hundred isn't really a milestone number like 100 or 1,000 or 500 or a million. But because of all the support Vann and I have received during the last couple of months, I wanted to do something special. So here's what I'm doing:
A BLOGGY GIVEAWAY!!!!
Leave a comment here by Sunday midnight or so (or whenever I close the comments), and Sophie and I will draw for the winner of a great surprise package. I can't tell you what the prize is because I don't even know. But it'll be good.
Hope everyone has a great weekend. I'm finally going for a much needed haircut this afternoon.

Congrats on your 700th and on Vann's recent good report. Thanks for the story about Ozzie. I will definitely be more careful where I leave spools of thread. This spool was on a table. Apparently, he jumped in the chair beside it and helped himself. The little stinker!
