second place...not bad!

The winners were posted on line this morning at Utmost Christian Writers, and I opened the page to discover that I'd received second place, and a prize of 300$!

This means that I now have 300$ towards my summer travel fund, so I'm very excited. Also, because I was one of the top 5 winners, my poem and bio is published on their webpage. Go to to read mine as well as the other winners.

It's a neat foundation, because it pays out quite a large number of cash prizes to new poets, which is always nice!

Well, it's a beautiful Saturday here, and I'm waiting for my ipod to charge so that I can go for a run. I wanted to go this morning, but I was lazy and can't stand running anymore without music. Then, it got cloudy, but now it's back to blue sky so I'm glad I waited. It's so nice to have a 3 day weekend with no plans and Mike is asleep as he worked last night. So, I'm just relaxing in my house, which has already been cleaned by Mike yesterday,with plans for reading and maybe thinking about some more writing and/or scrapbooking later on!

Yeah for thanksgiving long weekends...oh yeah, and I get a turkey dinner on Monday at the other new RCMP's house. Happy thanksgiving everyone!

Below are the pictures I tried uploading a few posts ago, of Dawson Creek, and my apartment. Note the bookshelf, which I was so happy to be able to get, and the best room of all, the laundry room...also, the outdoor pics are from summer, when the hills around were nice and green.

Ha! I love your laundry room. It reminds me that you and Mike are still "you and Mike", despite ALSO being the cutest, most wonderful people I know. :)

Congratulations again, my dear, on the poem. I'm so proud!
