"Weekly Sentence" #19 Winner, etc...


Happy Summer, everyone!  The weather has been beautiful in my neck of the woods the past five or six days.  It has stayed in the 60's and 70's and has been sunny.  The one thing I hate, though, is that there are cicadas everywhere.  I don't mind their sound, but I hate how they fly into me when I am outside.  I've had a couple fly into my hair, and that is NO fun!  Yuck!  They are all over on the ground, too.  Ewwww.  Anyone have cicadas in their neighborhood?

It's time to announce the winner of the "Weekly Sentence" #19!  The letters this week are FATHER.  I was disappointed for you guys because I had to disqualify five submissions for different reasons.  Three were not sentences.  One had a wrong letter and one was late.  I am very sorry you guys.  Please make sure that your letters are correct and your submission is a complete sentence.  I still included every submission in the listing, though.  I know you guys work hard, and I am VERY proud of you all!!  Now, the judges and I would like to CONGRATULATE:

                    Nancy from My Life and Loving It:

              Fathers are terrific, handy, earnest rangers.


Congratulations again, Nancy!!  Please visit her journal and congratulate her if you are able.

Your award is below, Nancy!  Right click and save as .gif.  If you have any problems, just pop me an email.

Deadline, for your information...


Hi, my friends!  The deadline for the "Weekly Sentence" is in about 3 1/2 hours (4PM EDT).  The letters this week are FATHER.  I wanted to let you all know that.

Also, I will be doing a project over the next couple/few days.  I have a very full sidebar and I will be taking some things out and linking them up into entries - things like awards, causes that I support, etc.  These won't be entries for you to read, and I am sorry that they will send out alerts.  I will be putting in the subject line, "This is not an entry".  Please just delete these.  I am sorry for the inconvenience, you all.  I know no other way to do this.  Thanks for understanding!

Have a good Thursday afternoon everyone!  Val =) xox

        be made from these letters.  The letters today are:  FATHER.
        An example of a sentence could be - Father always thought
       he enjoyed ruling.  These letters MAY NOT be re-arranged.

  *  There is a three - five persons judge panel (of JLand journalers)
        who will pick the best sentence submitted each week.  How will
        they decide the winning sentence?  The submission that receives
        the strongest reaction -  Did it make them laugh, sad, ponder,etc.?

  *  The winner will receive a logo for his/her blog sidebar with their
        screen name on it.

please consider visiting...


Our JLand friend Merry is from Cedar Rapids where all the flooding is.  She has been giving us updates on the flooding situation there.  I haven't heard from her since yesterday and I am worried.  According to the news, things didn't look too good last night.  Please keep Merry in your prayers.  She had flooding in the basement of her home already.  I am hoping she hasn't lost her home already.  If you can, please visit her and leave her a message, too.  I will let you know when I hear she is safe.  Thanks, guys!
