Wordless Wednesday.

Great weekend.

It was another very busy weekend, but for better than usual reasons.
I had three days off and we went to Charleston SC.
As usual, I took lots of pictures. I will post them soon.
Right now I have a paper to finish.
Cheers,
Kat and Spontaneous,

Glad Tidings! Mother's day, flowers, and a contest.

I know, it is just a little corney, but this Gladiola bloomed for me and my Sweet Husband brought it in for Mother's Day. The flowers seem bigger this year and I love the colors.

Tomorow is Mother's Day.

My Mom has been gone for just over a decade but she lives on in my siblings, my children, and me.

She was an amazing woman and she was ahead of her time.

This is an old post I wrote in her honor, read it and see if you don't agree.

And now,,,

for the contest.

I was looking at my stats on this new blogger interface and I noticed that it shows the total number of comments I have received so far.

I was astounded to discover that I am less than 100 comments away from 2000!

So, here are the rules.

1. You can comment as many times as you like, but only once per post.

2. You can comment on any of the last 333 posts (that is all of them),

as long as you have not already commented on that post.

3. As a hint for my long time followers, the earlier posts have fewer comments.

4. I will not tell you how many comments we are from the goal.

5. The winner will be whoever posts the 2000th comment.

6. Anyone can enter, even if you have won a previous contest.

Cheers, and good luck,

Kat

Time Travel. What happened to March and April?

Is it really May already?

I am spoiled!

My old job had me working three 12 hour shifts per week.

The 12 hour shifts frequently turned in to longer ones, but I still only worked three days a week.

My new job (since last November) is five days a week and it requires a serious commute.

So, I have sadly neglected the blog a bit.

One reason that I started this blog, was to encourage myself to find positive things to share on a regular basis. In the process, I have made many wonderful blog friends.

I do not want to give either of those up.

I am going to try to post more often,

my posts might be a little shorter and simpler from time to time.

When I visit your blogs, I will leave more comments.

If I do get a little behind again,

do not worry.

Life is good here at Kat's Corner.

Cheers,

Kat
