Holy Smokes-I Won Something!
To disable ads, please log-in.
When we stopped at The Potomac Conservancy River Center (Lock House 8) I signed the guest book. I had no idea I was registering to win a prize.
Well, I got a package about a week ago from Potomac Conservancy. I figured it was literature trying to get me to join so I ignored it for about a week.
Tonight I opened it and I was shocked-SHOCKED, I say!-to find this book inside!

Neat book! I don't win stuff either, it only happens on those rare occasions when hell has frozen over.

Winning stuff is cool.

Wow, what a cool prize. Sometimes it's hard to justify buying books like that for yourself but I love receiving them. Good for daydreams.

I won a sewing machine once. I was thrilled! I made 5 garments before I even took the class to learn how to use it!

I won a table grill from a draw that my DBF's brother entered us.
Suddenly we got notice to pick up a delivery at the post office and it said "congratulations, you won the draw at xy fair" - we never attended that.
I won a set of nice crayons when I was 5, that was good. But Mom helped make the craft we submitted :-)It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.
