  14. Thanks for yet another way exciting contest, y’all.

    But I’m really commenting on a totally unrelated subject. I just noticed your link to donate to hurricane affected states. It often feels like they’re being forgotten while the clean-up and rebuilding has just barely even begun. Thank you for doing that. And I can get one of those for my sidebar….where?

  18. I’d like to second everything that Brittany just said. I found your website through a friend of a friend… think “6 degrees of Kevin Bacon” style.

  43. Homemade ice cream really hits the spot – I remember eating it so fast when I was a boy that I would get mind splitting headaches. We actually turned the hand crank – none of that newfangled electric stuff. So we really earned it. Good times.

  46. OK Let’s see if I understand this!
    • I have posted and linked back to this post.
    • I have put the button in my sidebar–Which I am very proud of–That was my first time to but a button up since my new design–which requires me to use html. Yay! I got it up on the first try!
    • I’m telling you I am in for everything!
    • I think I’m finished for the duration–No more posting or linking–Am I right?

    Great contests! Thanks for the fun!
