Kind of you to wish my husband well, Jason.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
I'm very happy it turned out so well for him. Hope he's feeling himself again.
ReplyDeleteI can't tell if you are amazing, brave or insane to do all the work that comes with these contests. Either way I hope you stay that way.
ReplyDeleteLittle quieter contest this time with Anne around to help out, I'm noticing. Either that, or it's the proximity to the holiday season.
ReplyDeleteLOL, Eileen!! I guess I'd have to leave it to the people who know me to give you an answer. ;)
ReplyDeleteJim, yes, I knew Anne's stature would pull more entries last time. I'm liking all the new faces here, though. These contests are a great way for people to connect. That's why it's a privilege for me to host them.
And we love you for it, Jason!
ReplyDeleteI love the contests. Always an excellent challenge. Got my entry in just under the deadline :)
ReplyDeleteThanks again for a great contest!
Jason, how pleased you must be.
ReplyDeleteSuch a high standard to the delightful number of entries received. :-)
Joni, thank you, my friend. :)
ReplyDeleteEmeraldcite, yes, you were the last! That takes some fortitude.
Susan, yes, this has been a very good contest. Thanks! :)
i have to admit i've enjoyed reading this time without feeling the pressure of choosing winners from so many great entries. i think the image was a little tougher, but it also seemed to generate a wider variety of plots.
ReplyDeletethanks jason and everybody who entered. most enjoyable week!!
Anne, I need to give you a title or something. Perhaps Judge Emeritus. The Honorable Anne Frasier? Yeah, I kinda like that. ;)
ReplyDeleteI missed you this time around. Maybe someday we'll do it again.
Thanks for hosting another great contest, Jason!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I missed this one! The picture is so great! I have to go read some stories now. sorry for missing out on this one.
ReplyDelete~LP
Jeff, thanks, my friend.
ReplyDeleteLittlePuddle, great to see you! I missed you. :) I'll be running another one probably in April or so if you are interested.
