And The Winner Is!!!!!!!!!

Hello sweet ladies........

Thank you so much for all the kind words ladies. Your comments were really encouraging! Hope the next party will go a little smoother..........but you know.........like Heather said......"I'm glad you got the wrong day......because it means more party! Now that was a nice way to look at it! You all are truly wonderful ladies!!!!!!!

We did the drawing today and the winner is

Leslie

YOU are the winner of the
Gooseberry Patch
101 Cupcake, Cookie & Brownie Recipe Cookbook

Winter Thyme Notebook Keeper
and Recipe Cards.

Thank you everyone who participated in
the
Prairie Flower Farm/Gooseberry Patch Party!

There will be more in the future! I will be using a new automatic counter! Smile!

I love this cookbook! We are still using it everyday in the college kitchen..........the
kids are enjoying the new recipes!!!!!!!!

Hope your day wasn't as cold as our was.......the high was 17 and the wind chill was
4-5 degrees............very cold........and the neat thing was my chicky girls laid
8 eggs. They are getting their warm water and it is helping!

Our Silly Vitaliy

Our Vitaliy (the little orphan Ukrainian boy who came and stole our hearts) will be leaving this Friday. He will meet all the other children that have been in the states........on Saturday and then fly back to the Ukraine. It will be a sad day for our family and all the grandchildren....... who have come to love him very much. It will be the hardest on our son's family though. We would appreciate it if you would please keep Vitaly and our family in your prayers. It will be a hard weekend for all.

Pray for Vitaliy's salvation. We bought him a Bible......it will go with him. Our son's
family read it every evening with him.....they read the English part and he would read
the Russian. Precious eternal gift! God will use it in his life...........I know.......God is just
like that!

Hugs from our farm.........and may the Lord bless you for all your sweetness to me!

Linda

    It's a comfort to know that our God will accomplish His purposes. Your influence on young Vitaliy was for a reason. Praise God who is not limited by countries or ethnicities.

    Hope you enjoy making those bagels! I am going to do that too, but I have a lot of house to clean first and I better get started!
