I am up and Coffee Cup is steaming beside me. Today is the day that the article about this blog is in the Reading Minnesota website. This site is a literary link on the Mpls. Star Tribune website in the Entertainment/Books section. Squee!!! I am a little excited and hope that if you have time you can pop over and check it out. In honor of this fun moment – I thought it would be good, right, and proper to have a one day giveaway.
All you need to enter is to go and read the article and come back here and share with me one thing you did not know about me. I will choose a winner tomorrow morning during the Morning Meandering and that person will receive a pick out of the prize box.

How exciting. I’m headed to the tub, now, but will be sure to take a look at it today after I finish schooling my kiddos!
What a neat article! New fact for me: For some reason I didn’t know that you only got started with this incarnation of blogging in just Summer 2009. It’s amazing how fast these things grow!
Congrats on the article, and thanks for the giveaway!

GOODMORNING!
I Love that the coffee is always on at your blog, as of right now i am enjoying a wonderful cup of HANI coffee.
I also have a heart for the less fortunate. One thing I did not know was that you worked at WalMart for 14 yrs.
I enjoy your blog and I am wishing you a wonderful Tuesday.
PraiSING Him,
Kim W.
Congrats on the feature! And wow, you’re so new to blogging! I didn’t know (or didn’t remember) you’d been to Honduras 8 times.
Congratulations on being featured! I did not know that you participate in bike tours. I’m impressed! You must be in great shape.
I came by to have morning coffee with you and tell you how much I enjoyed the article! Woo Hoo! You should be very proud of yourself. What a good job you are doing Sheila. I did NOT know that you used to be a manager at Wal-Mart. Discount!
Have a wonderful happy day!
Kudos to you- I did not realize that last year was your first 150 mile bike ride-I just assumed you did them all the time. Maybe I will try the Nora Roberts book you suggested-before that I never thought she was an author for me.
Wonderful article. I was not aware that you had been to Honduras 8 times. You ar an inspiration.
I did not know you and your husband own your own business 🙂 Congratulations on the feature!
I didn’t know that you enjoy riding bike and participate in six bike tours a year. That’s wonderful exercise!

What a nice article that is Sheila! I didn’t realize that you live in Brainerd…that is where my husband went to high school after moving from California…quite an adjustment hey? lol
Jo-Jo… that is so funny that your husband went to high school in Brainerd!
Congratulations! Great feature! I left a comment to thank them for featuring you. 🙂
I never knew that you worked for Wal-Mart. Those stores are huge, so you must have gotten quite a workout running back and forth!
Great article Sheila!! You so deserve to be highlighted!
I didn’t know you had a cabin. My family had a cabin on a lake that we used to go to on weekends when I was little. While I was in my early teens my parents built a home on the site and we moved there permanently. I loved living on a lake. Swimming in the summer and ice skating in the winter!!

I did know that you did paperwork and helped out with the business you and your husband own, but I DIDN’T know that you also work as an office manager for a church!
Love your morning meanderings 🙂

Wow!! There was a lot that I did not know about you! I read Jantsen’s Gift too last year and that image is one that is hard to forget! It’s amazing that you did a 150 mile bike ride. And, you sure stay busy!! Congrats on the feature!

What a great article, Shelia! Congratulations!
I didn’t realize that I found you and your blog in your infancy last summer! To think that you have over 460 visitors a day in just over six months is amazing! Keep up the great posts!
Congrats on a great article Sheila! You definitely deserve it! I didn’t know that have a cabin in Finland!!

Congratulations on the great article. Now your book blog will have even more hits! I did not know where your cabin was.
Wow, Sheila! I knew you got a lot of visitors, and a lot of review requests, but I had no idea of how many! An unknown fact about you!
Congratulations! The article and your blog are wonderful!
Great article Sheila, I’m very proud of you! I do have to say I knew every single thing in that article already (guess I’ve known you too long), but can I still be entered in the giveaway??!! ;o)
LOL Angie – of course! 🙂
Great article. I did not kow that you do six bike tours a year. When do you find the time to train ?
HI Cindy, they are not races…. just tours that you go at your own pace. I just get out when I can of course living in Minnesota doesn’t always work well for that. 🙂 The first ride of the year is always the last weekend of April and it is called the Ironman because you never know what kind of weather you will get. Last year it was 30 degrees and storming. It couldnt possibly be that way two years in a row right? 😉
Very cool! How exciting :0)
One thing I didn’t know… Well, I think there is more than 1 but I didn’t know you have gone to the Honduras 8 times!! Wow , thats really neat! Great job and it was fun reading about you :0)

Wonderful article, so glad to see you getting the recognition you and your blog deserve. I didn’t know the Wal Mart job and the fact you did it for 14 years. More power to you.
Great article! You really do keep busy! Working with you husband on the paper work, Office Manager at the church and volunteering. Wow!
And you get lots of offers for books. That is cool! I have not received any yet, but that is very cool when books you like are offered to you for reviewing.
Amazing person you are!
Just discovered your blog over the holidays. Awesome job!
I think you will be seeing your hits go up now after such a great article.
I didn’t know you do bike tours. How fun!
Am taking today to go back through my old emails and try to catch up. Your interview was most interesting. I did not know you travel to Honduras with friends to work with children. I’d love that.
