A thank-you-give-away

                                                             

 Hi, how's everyone?

Right near the fourth of July, I hurt my back...compressed nerve is what it is.
I could barely walk.
I'd either sit at my desk or lie on the bed,
 &  lying on the bed wasn't very comfy either.
I would cry with frustration
at not being able to reach for a bottle of water
or walk from the bedroom to the living room.
Luckily I had you all to keep me company
and preserve my sanity.
Your comments are awesome!!

I'm not really super outdoorsy
(especially during the summer)
 but I couldn't wait to get out there!!
Since I was feeling a little better....
& after weeks of not leaving my bedroom,
 I ventured outside a couple days ago.
Everything looked so bright!!

 

I was able to save this beautiful butterfly from Magnus' wading pool,

It was very grateful (I'm sure) and flew over to say 'thank you' before flying away.

Oh!I got to watch 'The Conjuring' the next day!
it was awesome.
When we got home the girls made marshmallow treats.

And you know what was neat?
It was raining the whole time!

Not being able to do anything for so long made me especially
grateful for little moments...
it's hard to believe how much we take
for granted sometimes!

I couldn't even pick up my pup and now he's too
heavy for puppy cuddles!
but that's alright cause he's able to jump up
on the sofa for smooches.

 
 OK, so like I said, I'm feeling better
and I promised you a give away!
it's not huge just a little thank you
to you all, for coming to visit
and not forgetting me:)

so just leave me a comment and you will have a chance to
win
a silly little mushroom wand!

 and a couple other surprise treats, I promise:)
I'll choose a winner
on Thursday.

I hope you have a very happy weekend, 
 and you savor the little moments.

take care!
