  2. Congrats on the award from Mistyrose! Isn't she a sweetie? You and I have so much in common--I also woke up to an icy, new York morning--and it's still spitting snow here! I was a SE teacher for 30 years...and I miss it every single day! You stopped by One By One The Flamingos Are Stealing My Sanity, and I promised a stop back with another way to win in my 500 Followers Celebration. Just go to my blog at http://karelj.blogspot.com and become a Networked Blog Follower. (If you are already one, leave me a comment saying so). That way, you'll be counted twice for an entry into my surprise give-away! Thanks for Following The Flamingos!
