True generosity.........

I want to take a moment here and thank Verna/aka The Blog Fairy for the new blogs she has created for me. However, the true matter of these creations is her huge heart for adoption and for helping others. It takes her hours to do these blog make overs and she is doing it out of the goodness of her heart for our travel mate Pam Shockley, who is waiting to bring her son Ethan home from China. All of the funds Verna receives from now until November 1st will go towards the Shockley's to help with travel expenses. Of coarse I wanted to help my travel mate, but all I am doing is sending a check. Verna is doing all the work and spending her time and energy doing this. I find that remarkable and nothing short of a selfless act of kindness. Bravo to you Verna.......your heart is in the right place. You shine with kindness and love.....and I, my dear friend, am so blessed to be able to call you my friend..........a true Red Thread connection.

As I said in my previous post, the hubby and I are going on a 4 day mini vacation with some close friends. We leave near the end of the week and I feel like there is so much to do. I'm looking forward to some down time and time to get caught up on my sleep. However, given the fact where we are going.....I may be up until the wee hours of the night! lol We are staying here. Ching, ching.....I'm heading for those slot machines! ;) I hope everyone has a great week and I look forward to catching up on your blogs when I return!

Verna said...

Well Stef, what can I say? you are far too kind. I just gotta say, about em's message, is this how she contacts you? ;) Hope you have a great time in Vegas!! Yes, get videos!

Steffie - bring more money because the shops at the Wynn are the best. It has all the top end stores so you might not even get to the slot machines.

Have a great time and really enjoy the rest. Check you out when you get back.

Have fun in Vegas! Also that blog is definetly sexist! She is saying

"Hi!
I invite you to participate in the poetry contest...

if you want go to my blog and read on the rules....
you will like them....
the size you want....
without obligations...
make your words
an ocean of inspiration...!
i will be waiting."

keep away fromt that site LOL! Where on heck did she find you! (her display name is feminine)

Feel free to delete this tranlation.
I almost peed my pants when I went to that blog.

On a more serious note I really do think that your blog fairy is truly special with all that she does...

Steffie B. said...

Thanks for the translation girl....I deleted the comment! When I went to the blog I was like "no way baby"!

I am soooo jealous you guys are going to VEGAS!!!! I looove it there -- and the slots are my absolute favorites! Hope you win big.
(but I doubt you'll get any rest!)

Colleen said...

I swear everytime I come here the blog looks different!! (but real good)

Have a BLAST!!! i want to hear all about the trip and that Hotel!!

crazylady said...

My advice? Not that anyone ever asks for it, or takes it,
is:
Stay between the sheets while on vacay. The world can wait.

New format, maybe there is hope to open you up now.

Love the new look. Have fun on your vacation. Check the weather because we are getting a storm from Washington on Thurs or Friday. Suppose to rain and be cold. Not sure if Nevada will catch any of it though.
