Pigs Must Fly giveaway

First, I have to say that I know and work with the author (Jane Curtis writing as Edna Flannigan), and consider her a friend. So, for what it's worth, here is my review:

I really enjoyed "Pigs Must Fly." It tells the story of Iris Haugsdahl, who was unloved and unappreciated by her parents, who married but felt unloved and unappreciated by her husband, a dairy farmer. When her husband dies after they had made plans to go to Las Vegas so he could receive a veteran's award, she goes anyway and has the adventure of her life. Iris meets Kitty Velour, a transgender lounge singer.

A mishap makes Kitty feel responsible for Iris, so Kitty brings Iris under her wing, so to speak. Throw in the Stimples, Iris's obnoxious neighbors from Iowa; Dave Handy, a "pipefitter" from Idaho; and Ms. Nicole, a canasta-playing psychic, and things start getting out of hand. Iris slips the leash and gets in a little trouble on her own.

This is the kind of book I find myself wanting to read bits out loud to unsuspecting people. It's a book I will read again and again.

And Jane/Edna has offered a copy of "Pigs Must Fly" that she will autograph for the winner of the giveaway. It is also available at Amazon.com for $13.95 for the paperback and $0.99 for the Kindle edition.

The book will be mailed by me, so if the winner is located in the U.S., I will mail the book. If the winner is outside the U.S., I will offer another prize worth $10 (probably an Amazon code) and pick a second winner for the book. If the second winner is also outside the U.S., I will keep picking until I find a winner inside the U.S. There will only be one consolation prize and that is only if the original winner is not in the U.S. Entrants should be at least 18 years old.

Aunt Nancy's Green Cake

  My family calls this Aunt Nancy's Green Cake (it came from my Aunt Nancy, but I don't know where she got it). 1 yellow or white cake mix (for 13-by-9-inch pan) five eggs 1/2 cup milk 1/2 cup oil 1/2 cup water 1 box instant pistachio pudding I mix the wet ingredients first, then add the cake mix and pudding mix. You'll need to use a mixer because the pudding makes it harder to stir. We use a bundt pan (well greased) and bake slightly longer than the instructions on the box. (I just checked the cake mix in my pantry - it says 33-36 minutes at 350F for bundt pan, so I would go 40 minutes and test for doneness.) We don't usually frost it. Maybe sprinkle powdered sugar over it. But do what makes you happy. The cake is very moist (five eggs!).

My Memories May blog train

I use MyMemories digital scrapbooking software . There is a free downloads section on the website, and here's the May blog train , with more free stuff. The downloads have two options: formatted for MyMemories, or a general download that you can use in other programs. It would be great if people used the software, but you can still have the downloads (you just have to sign up for a free account). And you can download a trial version to try it out. If you decide to buy MyMemories, I have a discount code: STMMMS22597. The buyer gets a $10 discount and yes, I would get paid. But still, try it out for free and download the free stuff you can from the website and the blog train. *May's Blog Train ends May 31st* The color palette Each link below takes you directly to the exact page for each designer's Blog Train entry and opens in a new tab.

So, it's been awhile

Wow. My last post was in November 2017. I'm not even going to try to recap the past 14 months in this post. A quick update, though. I won a free pass to Rootstech Feb. 27-March2 in Salt Lake City. I have family in the area who offered to let me stay with them, and a very kind person has offered to pay for my plane tickets. My next dilemma - and it's a big one - is which sessions to attend. I'm getting overwhelmed with choices. There are more than 300 sessions from Wednesday through Saturday, and I can't decide. So I'm going to throw this out there (if anybody's reading this) and say I will attend two sessions picked by someone else. The schedule is posted here . The two sessions must be on Thursday, Feb. 28. One morning session and one afternoon session. If there are multiple submissions, I will go with the most popular. If there's only one, I'll go to that one. Each person who comments can pick one morning session and one afternoon session.
