My little blueberry scones, it’s been far-too, much-too, too-too loooong since Frog on a Dime has hopped into your inbox. Technical torments have slowed me down. BUT THEN, (hark!) just yesterday, a shiny, newborn computer was delivered. HURRAH!!!! Now, I have ear-poppingly high hopes to be back in the blog writing business again soon.
Before summer melts into glorious autumn, I want to welcome you to my annual open house. By “open house,” I mean, come as you are, snoop around this site, see what’s new (at least to you!) and soak up all the encouragement your heart can hold.
If you’ll be kind enough to leave a comment on this post (or any of my posts, really), you’ll automatically be entered into a So Long Summer Open House Surprise Package Giveaway. Since it’s a “surprise,” you can’t exactly be privy to the particulars, but rest most assured I will do my best to make sure the lucky prize winner is delighted, amused, inspired and encouraged by this special prize package. I hope you’ll enter. If you care to leave two (different) comments, you can double your chances.
To enter, please leave your comment(s) by noon (Eastern Time) on Friday, September 22–the day we say so long to Summer. (I’m a fan of fall, so bring on the autumnal equinox. It’s fine by me!) I’ll announce the winner on the first day of fall! (I wish every season started that way!)
Can’t wait to hear from you, my buttered pumpkin muffins!

I can personally attest to the surprise package being something cool. Some of the colorful office supplies are still doing their paper-clippy, note-sticking jobs from many, many years ago. Also, if you’re really nice, I bet Vicki would doodle you up a wonderful paisley-style initial.
And Vicki, congrats on your new computer, and that exceptionally-pukey book of yours spewing out at bookstores near you.
