WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER and SOMERSET MAGAZINE!

Thanks to all of you that 
signed up for the giveaway of
SOMERSET MAGAZINE.

My sweet friend, KRIS, @
has a wonderful feature article about her
home, herself and her blog
in this issue.
Lulu wanted to do the drawing
this time.
She arm-wrestled 
SweetCheeks for the honor.

Here you are!
No cheating with this kid!
She can read! 
lol
I tried to get her to put
ORANGE RUBBER BANDS
on her teeth to match the background
but she is stubborn about things like that.
Anyway
If you don't know Mary you are 
missing someone special.
She is just the neatest gal-
I won't tell you how old she is but
she still does everything for herself-
housework, gardening,
and is the most positive, upbeat gal,
despite the heat this summer and some
health issues.
So-if you have a sec wish her
Congratulations on winning.

Mary,
I need your address and-
It will be in the mail shortly-
from Kris-
AND
because I said 
WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER
I am sending a gift certificate
for a family dinner meal
at
YEP!
KFC
Kentucky Fried Chicken.

That is the SweetCheeks 
NEW FAVORITE PLACE 
to eat!
Personally, I think 
The Colonel
needs an iron supplement.
He's looking a little wan to me!
She recommends the
EXTRA-CRISPY CHICKEN,
MASHED POTATOES WITH GRAVY
AND THEIR COOKIES.

lol

She said YOU can eat HER biscuit.
Still can't believe the kid is related to me and
doesn't LIKE biscuits!
There is something seriously wrong 
with that child!

Thanks to everyone that signed up
for the drawing.
I wish I could send each and every one of you
a copy!
I just love ALL of you!!!

Congrats to Mary! I may have to go sit beside the Colonel there...I might look a little more "with it," but never as cute as Sweet Cheeks.

Susie said...

Diana, I am happy for Mary but so sad for me. LOL. Love that picture of SC with the colonel. My granddaughter used to call KFC..Long John Chicken Hut....she couldn't keep her fast food place straight. That was so long ago, Diana, you know how our children grow.Makes me sad some times. Blessings to all of you today, xoxo,Susie

" to Lulu, on winning the arm-wresteling contest with Sweet Cheeks!!!!

Mmmmmmm, hates to tell you Nana, but Sweet Cheeks is looking a bit grown up, these days. We know it has to happen, but it can also be a wee shock, when it becomes noticeable. :-))))

I have a feeling you have just upped KFC's sales for the month.

Shirley said...

Hi Diana, I keep wondering where the time goes. It seems to fly so very fast almost to fast if you ask e. Sweet cheeks looks so grown up in her picture. I just want to keep them little, but we can't. A belated Happy Birthday to MiMi. I had fun catching up with you. We have a beautiful fall day this afternoon. It is cool of a morning and warms up in the afternoon. Take care Hugs and Prayers your Missouri Friend Shirley.

Amy at Ms. Toody Goo Shoes said...

Congrats to Mary!

Gypsy Heart said...

Yay for Mary!! :) Lulu did a great job didn't she? Like many have stated, Sweet Cheeks is looking so grown up! There must be a pill or a cookie that you can give them to STOP! It just goes by too fast. And...I'm not believing that anyone could *not* like biscuits! :) I could eat them daily and be so happy. One of the best memories of my mother is that she got up very early and made biscuits daily. Weekends are about the only time I make them now or I'd look like the Pillsbury Dough Man!

I'm so thrilled for Kris! This is a wonderful form of recognition for her.

Dewena said...

Congratulations to Mary! And she sounds like someone I'd like to meet, well who wouldn't, from the way you write about her, Diana.

It's been hours since supper, and guess what I'm craving now?

Mary@mydogsmygardenandmary said...

I feel so blessed that I won and even a Chicken Dinner, WOW. I promise not to read the magazine while I have KFC on my fingers LOL.
I can't believe how the girls are growing up Diana - it seems like over night.
Again, thank yo so much. Kris is a great lady and I am looking forward to reading the article about her.
Have a wonderful trip to Mimi's house this weekend.

Hugs,
Mary

Gayla said...

What a fun giveaway and post. Yep, the Colonel is looking a little "peaked around the mouth," as my gramma would say. I will check out the blog of Mary's. Love Kris, as well. And that Nana Diana is pretty cool, I hear.

Feral Turtle said...

Congratulations Mary! An exciting win. It looks like the Colonel dressed up like a ghost! I'm with Sweet Cheeks on her choice. Sounds delish.

Marilyn @ MountainTopSpice said...

Congratulations to Mary, and what a fun drawing! I can just imagine the arm wrestle between the two, lol! KFC is my husband's fav place to eat! He sure loves his fried chicken :) Have a wonderful day Diana!

Bethany Carson said...

Indeed the Colonel is looking pale. Sweet Cheeks must be getting all of his good, healthy food...but not liking biscuits? Ohh, well, more for you I guess! Congrats to Mary! And nice to see the photos of Lulu making the drawing!

Red Rose Alley said...

Yaaaay, Mary. It couldn't have gone to a nicer lady. Love her.
