After having been last to so many posts this week, I finally get to one first.
ReplyDeleteStill wish I was at ACFW.
Will put the coffee on.
Happy almost birthday, Seekerville!!! :D
ReplyDeleteAnd hey, if you're home alone, you can be a little bit crazier than normal, right? ;)
Have a wonderful weekend, everyone, and congrats to the winners!

Yeah, I am so excited! Realized I didn't send my email address. Do I send it to Julie?
ReplyDeletePut your feet up and enjoy the weekend!
Thanks, Julie
Mornin' Seekers,
ReplyDeleteLOVE the WE. LOL.
After hearing Cynthia Rutchi prayer last night - I can't WAIT to read her post next week. Wow. It was a beautiful prayer.
I wish you ladies were here. I've LOVED getting to meet the Seekers - as fabulous in person as online.
Thanks for another great week, seekervillites! And for the WE! You always find such interesting things to explore on the internet.
ReplyDeleteHey, winning Janet's book is such a treat! Thank you so much. I can't wait to read it. Love the sassy heroine on the cover.
ReplyDeleteI've decided the down side to a kindle book is you can't loan it to anyone, or at least I don't know how it's done. (I don't have a kindle but I have the app on my ITouch) Am I right or is there a way to share a Kindle download with a friend?
Congrats to all the winners, and thanks for the Starbucks GC! The gift that keeps on giving.
ReplyDeleteGreat weekend edition! Have a super weekend everyone!

Hey Walt, Thanks for the coffee. Did you get to Einsteins for some bagels?
ReplyDeleteI brought some fresh cantelop. Melons are in season out west. So there's other varieties as well.
And I brought some breakfast burros for those who want protein.
For those of us who need comfort food because we are HOME ALONE I brought some cinnabons, Sees chocolates, blueberry crepes, and Dove candies for those who have been hungry for them since Debby mentioned packing them for ACFW
I can't believe its ben three years!!!
How fun is that?
Have a great weekend.
Pepper, I so wanted to meet you. Next year. smile

Thanks, Tina.
ReplyDeleteGlad to have the new web address to contact about "stuff".
I know we were putting our emails on our posts before for contact but I was starting to get a lot of "Dearly Beloved Fellow Christian" emails so hesitated. Hadn't clued into the new info.
Peace and thanks again, Julie

ReplyDeleteI'm home too and hoping to follow the blog this evening. Not sure I will be able to, but here's hoping.
I will say that Pepper has been emailing me and the rest of The Writer's Alley with updates on all she is experiencing. Seriously, the Seekers could hire her as their roving reporter. ;) LOVE YOU PEPPER!!!!!!
@ Ruth, I was planning to come to your signing. Been on jury duty all week and both my kids are sick this weekend :(. Hopefully I'll be able to make one of your other signings in the Rochester area.
ReplyDeleteHappy upcoming birthday to Seekerville! So many of us have been so blessed by this site and its so exciting to see all the publications this year, especially the first time ones!
We should have hired Pepper!! What were we thinking????
ReplyDeleteHope all the kidlets feel better, Julia.
