I wrote a discussion yesterday about being excited about our farmer's market opening today. I don't do real well when i first get up, takes me awhile to get going. I nearly talked myself out of going but went on & took a shower & got ready to go. BOY, AM I GLAD I DID.. They give a bushel basket of free veggies away before they start selling & I WON..I was soooo surprised & pleased.I have nhever won much in my lifetime ,usually had to work for everything. Have y'all ever won anything?

I once one a prize from a radio station. $100 from a record store, $100 in tickets for shows at the place that was advertizing and $100 in groceries from the store that was now selling the tickets. I've also won tickets to see Sting from a different radio station!

Many congratulations. This is so wonderful. I know how you must feel so happy because the gene that lets people win things has bypassed me too. I have entered things all of my life and have never won, even a sausage on a stick. We have htis family at church and they woin everything - just everything. If they enter a lotto then one of them will win it. At fund raisiings they still win everything. I am totally flumoxed why there ticket is always drawn for a first prize. The drawing takwes placwe in full view and someone picked at random but they still win. Wish I had been born with that gene. Enjoy your wein lady, it could not happen to a nicer person

Congrats to you! What kind of veggies did you win? One time I won a big Lionel train set from a supermarket sign up form, but I sold it to someone for $50.00, because I'm not a big train fan. Don't forget the Hidden Valley Ranch dressing to dip all those yummy veggies, lol. Take care.

Oh that is lucky day for you!Congrats!!! It's nice to win anything. It really gives joy to receive something by surprise. My husband is luckier than I am. Whenever there are raffles or any game of chance, he would always come up one of the winners. I do also win once in a while but not as frequent as my hubby. And it is really a nice feeling to receive a surprise pack like that!

Oh, i love vegies!!! I wish we're neighbors then we could enjoy them together.. you make the salad and i'll let you have a taste of some Filipino dish! Antiquelady, now finally there's one we don't have in common, you winning the grandest prize while i get one of the consolation prize items (and very rarely, too! I think at least five different times in my lifetime)! Anyway, had a set of table steak knives one Christmas then a longer steak knife the following year and we don't even have steaks at home! But i have a better use for those things than to slice meats, they come in handy and serve me well as peelers, they cut easily through fruits and vegetables and they never needed to be sharpened. It's been ten long years and they are as sharp as the first time i used them ! They are my favorite that's why i gave the other pieces to my siblings so they also benefit from the knives' usefulness and make things easier for them, too. They

I AM ELATED!!! I´m so glad for you, friend!!! And I know how you feel. It´s not just the goods and the price of them, but the luck. It´s as if one has been chosen somehow. I remember a long time ago I won some coffee filters at the super. I felt as if I had won gold ring!!! My hubby laughed at me but I was SO happy. Take care

You must thank your lucky star. It is indeed worth taking your time off mylotting to attend to your farmer's market. I am happy for you. Few years back I won a lucky draw in a church bazaar and it was a sewing machine.

That's great Jo!! Congratulations!! lol I know that had to make your day!! I'm like you, I'm not quick in getting up in the morning and have to have my coffee first and then I have to talk myself into getting dressed to go out. I much rather stay home and is why I send my hubby to do the shopping, besides, he loves to shop and I don't. lol

THANKS CATS, It sure did make my day. I GUESS i had to get out so early for sooo many years when i worked that i just don't want to do that now much. I am glad i did yesterday. . my dad liked to shop,my step-mother never went to the grocery. If u don't like to shop that's great he'll do it.

Congratulation. I know how you feel about getting up and getting out. I am the same way. I hardly ever participate in anything unless I just absolutely have too. I wish I could get out of being this way but I can't I have been like this for years. I am very happy for you. And no I can't recall ever wining anything.

THANKS CHEVEE, I was thrilled. i don't know what makes us that way, do u? I USUALLY ALWAYS GET UP EARLY UNLESS I HAVE HAD ONE OF MY NIGHTS OF NOT SLEEPING. I go for days & don't get out of the house. I have been trying to do better since jan had her stroke. I DO GO TO SEE HER EVERY FEW DAYS. I'm better when i get out but just don't make myself do it like i should. Maybe your luck will change & u will win something really good.
