Have I mentioned before that collect coincidences? I keep a file (with photos) on my computer of odd co-inky dinks. But this is my favorite one of all!
Anyway, yesterday I knew that I was near my 12,000th comment and was watching to see who it was going to be so I could send a surprise prize out to that person as a thank you.
When I checked my emails, this is what I saw-
A new comment from “Rich” was received on the post “400th Post and a slew of giveaways including "Karla and Carol's Romantic Country Celebration Giveaway" ” of the weblog “Karla's Cottage”
It was from my husband who is in DC. He'd never left a comment before.
And guess what number he was?
I guess he'll get a nice prize when he gets home tomorrow.
AAAAAAAAGGGHHH! Covering my virgin ears! What a coinky dink! Gosh what would the prize have been if it was for one of us????

LOL! That is too cute! Congrats on your incredible milestone! That is a LOT of comments! Of course, you always provide so much to comment on! That photo is precious, too, btw!

So I had to go read the comment, and what a sweet comment it was! Makes it an even better coincidence than if his message had been something like "don't forget tomorrow is garbage day" or something!

How cute is this coincidence!

How cool is that! For your husband whom had never posted before to become the 12,000 post, quite the co-inky dink, as you say.
Pretty neat he appreciates your talents too. You are as fortunate to have him on your side, as "Little Miss Sugar Wings" is to have you as her Grandma. Do you think your son and Sugar Wings hippie chick Mom have a clue how truly blessed they are to have you be such an incredibly positive influence in their daughters life? Your influence and memories you've built thus far in Sugar Wings 2 years of life will have incredible impact for the good of who she becomes as a person. How blessed this little girl truly is! And oh for the beauty she gets to be surrounded with at such an early age. Precious.
