New Year and Something to Give

Our duck family
Happy New Year to all who read here. Although the beginning of a new year is really just another day,I can't help but feel positive about the idea of starting afresh. 2009 was not the best year that I have lived but I am still glad for it.

Anyway,to mark the start of a new year full of potential and promise, I would like to offer a small giveaway. The prize will be humble, acouple of dishcloths, a shopping tote and maybe a couple of surprises. Just leave a comment here over the next week and you can be in the draw. As this blog is only new I am hoping that this might help new and old friends find me so please feel free to pass on a link to kindred spirits.
There are no great resolutions here to start off 2010. However,I am giving up caffeine for health reasons. It caused me some health problems during last year even though I am not a big consumer of it.I seem to have developed an intolerance to it with some undesirable side-effects.
Best wishes
Tracy

I remember drinking coffee back in 1993 and having an awful reaction. I have drunk little since.

Hi Tracy,

I'm glad you came and visited.

I personally made my blog personal for a while, but never deleted it. I'm thinking of taking each year and making it into a book. It's quite easy to download it and do that. You may find that all your photos that were in you old blog are still on a Picassa web in a file. You should be able to access this using the same passwords you used to get into your old blog. I'm no expert, but take a look. I stumbled on all mine there the other day. I know it's not all your words, but it is all the photos.

After all that do enter me into your drawing.

And as the yanks say, "have a nice day."

Confirmed coffee addict here :-). But only in the morning, I drink herbal teas for the rest of the day.

I like your ducks - what kind are they? We have pekins, they're more flat compared with your upright looking ones.

I drink a lot of coffee here. The only time I will consider drinking less is if I get pregnant. Coffee & caffein are my BFFs ;) but for the new year I should make a resolution to eat less junk food.

I wish you all the best in your efforts to lead a healthier life by giving up caffiene. I really should do the same myself.

I had to post as Anonymous as it won't let me sign in as my name.

Hi Tracy,

Found you via the link on Gill's blog, and look forward to reading of your adventures on 'Sunny Corner Farm' ;-)

What adorable ducks! We are buried in snow this time of year (I am in Colorado, US), so it's extra-lovely to see green grass, ducklings and pumpkin blossoms!

I saw Gill's post on her blog, and stopped in to visit a bit.
