Reminder and the Pancake Story

Just a reminder that i will be drawing a winner tomorrow for my 403 post giveaway...you can enter here.

If you have read my blog for awhile you will remember the pancake story.  If you are a newer reader here is the pancake story from my 100th post giveaway. (Sept 16, 2008).

A true life story honoring the number 100!

When I was in kindergarten we lived in a teeny tiny town in Washington called Montesano.  I used to walk a couple of miles to school each day. We were busy learning our numbers and our teacher had assigned us to bring in 100 of something.  I have always liked the quirky and oddball...so I brought in 100 pancakes!

 

My mom and I made them together...they looked so fun all stacked up tidy on a cookie sheet.  I was so proud of my 100 pancakes!  No one else had 100 pancakes, only me!  My classmates were impressed by the teetering stacks!  As I strolled home that afternoon giddy with the success of my day I ate cold pancakes.  One after another, happy as a five year old can be! (I did not eat them all either!)

This was my child hood story that I tied into for the 100th giveaway.  I love this little memory, but did not want to make 400 pancakes for a photo for my 400th post!  Good luck if you entered the giveaway...I'll be posting the winner tomorrow.

I may make pancakes for breakfast....

Now that is a very cute story. No I don't think you want to make 400 pancakes, but you should have some just to celebrate!

How funny, you must have been sending pancake vibes my way because we made them this morning. Not 100 however... :)

I adore the sharing of memories, and this one is great. Imagine walking two miles to school! And with pancakes no less! Congratulations 300 pancakes later! Elizabeth

I have my kindergarten kids bring in 100 of something on our 100th day each year. I must tell you that I have never had 100 pancakes brought in. You always have been one of a kind!
My most interesting 100 collection ever brought in was a bucket containing 100 cicada shells. They were brought in by a little girl that marches to her own drummer to this day!

So, I'm running out of the door this morning. What's that on the front porch? It's a box. I quickly open it up (I know who it's from). First I see a vintage card & a Magpie Ethel card. Then, 3 little trees with vintage tiny ornaments (I collect these trees), then blue tissue, I unwrap it... it's a sassy ornament doll holding a bird!, more tissue... a bird wearing a party hat. Then in a cellophane bag... a decorated egg with a tiny bunny and mushrooms, and then bingo cards, note pad & pencil, paper straws (unopened box) old birthday candles, paper umbrellas and 2 cards of buttons - pink & green. This was better than Christmas or my birthday. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You're the best, Laurie
