According to my blog stats, this is my 2500th post.
Wow. Who knew I had so much to say? 
Also, my fifth blogoversary was July 27, and somehow it just blew by me. Usually I anticipate it and often have a giveaway around then. This being a “milestone” year (somehow birthdays and anniversaries ending in 5 and 0 are more milestone-ish than others) it seems especially appropriate.
So, I’ve decided to have a few days of giveaways, as a thank-you to those of you who stop by my humble online abode. I’ll have at least three — maybe more. Some will be open to everyone, some will only be open to US residents due to shipping costs. Though I’ll spread out announcing them over the next few days, all the drawings will be held a week from today, next Tuesday morning, November 15.
The first giveaway will be the two books By Searching: My Journey Through Doubt Into Faith and In the Arena by Isobel Kuhn, reviewed together here (one winner will receive both books). If you’ve read here long, you know these are special to me, and I’d love to share them with someone. This one is open to all. If you’d like to be entered to win these books, just leave a comment below any time between now and next Tuesday morning. You don’t have to have a blog to enter. I’ll use random.org to choose the winners.
If you’d like to be entered for the drawings on the other days, you’ll need to leave a comment those days as well: the comments here will just count for this particular drawing.
I thought about doing some quizzes as part of the drawings, and decided against it. So this doesn’t count for anything but just for fun:
What is my favorite flower and my favorite color of it?
Thanks so much to those who read and those who comment. You are a blessing to me!

Your favorite flower is a rose, and your favorite color of rose is pink. I know I got the pink part right!
I’d love to win those books. I found another book by I. Kuhn at the Salvation Army thrift store the other day and snatched it up, based on your love for her!

I’m not sure…I just remember you saying that Dafodils weren’t your favorite once…I remember because they are my favorite…hahaha! Probably something pink? Thanks for not only having so much to say but for saying it so well!
Barbara you amaze me! 2500 posts? Congratulations!!!
In five years I have about 850, the last time I checked. (That doesn’t include my kitchen blog though. Hmmm. Time to do a little calculating!)
Peonies… pink, variagated.
Blessings!
To my friend who loves pink roses, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! 2500 is an amazing number, and I think I’ve read every one of those posts, too! : ) You have much wise, godly counsel to share, and I’m glad that you are willing to share it! I so wish that I could express my heart that well. Well, I wish you many more happy blogging days!
Pink is your fave colour but not sure about the flower. I’ve enjoyed reading your posts as well.
The book reviews on these two books have intrigued me. I wonder if my library has copies?
Pink roses – congrats on your milestone. Count me in!
