The Monday Thing Again

Saying for the day: Beating the odds is like running uphill with a hundred pound sack and reaching the top.
It is time to draw for the Monday prize and we have two cute little statues, one for each winner unless, like last week, somebody wins them both.
These look like just what every blogger ought to have next to the computer to keep them honest.

Also we will be adding to the JCPOINTS Prize Box .
We will add a Christmas house and a tree.
I hope that Gungirl wins the prize box today so Bree will be happy. If not it grows heavier.
All the items in the box can be seen by clicking HERE.
If nobody wins by Wednesday we will do a three for on Thursday. We will draw three names and if any one of them match Wednesday’s name she or he gets the Prize Box.
If nobody matches, then if the name drawn on Friday matches any of the three that person wins.
Somebody is going to win before I move.
Good luck everybody.

News from Pigeon Falls-the little house in my back yard where dragons still fly.– I forgot to tell you yesterday that Pastor Marvel was in the parade twice. First , in person, as Captain Marvel, and then on the church float where they had a paper mache duplicate painted to look like a stone man. The message was “ God can bring your heart of stone to life“. I guess they tried to get Eino to loan them the stone man from the basement but he wouldn’t.
There were no dragon or White Rabbit sightings yesterday. But the town is still buzzing about the dragon flying over the town right behind the parade. It seemed to be saying “Hey look at me”. Mrs. Trumble said that the dragon was lucky she left her shotgun home. She has special shells with silver pellets in them. She had the priest bless them ( priest and pastors get asked to do the strangest things). She is sure it’s a demon and she is going to get it. Tommy, the undertaker’s kid, who was in the parade looking like a kid from years ago and pulling his big red wagon said the dragon looked to him like something out of a story book. Looking up at it from the middle of town he thought he saw a red stripe on the side but he could be wrong.
Well tonight Donna trys to defeat her husband and Tomas in the Liars Contest. I am sure she has really polished that story. She says there will be no dragons, White Rabbits, stone men, ghosts, or mystics. This story will be about an ordinary person. I don’t know if she can win with that.
School starts soon and we have a new first and second grade teacher. Her name is Maxine Quilldancer from Texas. She is supposed to be a very good teacher. Well handling two grades at once isn’t easy but then she only has twelve students.
Tommy is sporting a full scale blackeye today that he got this morning. Fred Perkins, the town bully was making fun of his red, covered, wagon. Tommy tried to ignore him but he tried to push the wagon over. Nobody touches Tommy’s wagon. They went at for a couple of minutes until Toivo seperated them. Toivo gave Fred a good talking to and told him if it happens again he would call his father.

B etty has really been working on the kitchen. It almost shines. She so wants to get the house sold. But if nobody looks it makes little difference if the floor shines. I got caught up on mailing things out. I sent the last magnet to Bella, last week's prizes to Jafabrit, and believe it or not today's prizes to today's prize winners. How is that for a first class procrastinator. I added two new blogs to my links . Yep, I am almost caught up.
Betty went to Bible study. I needa b reathing treatment.
