...and I'm on pins and needles to see who the winners are! There are so many great prizes this time around and I feel like with all of the prizes, we all have at least a decent chance of winning. Perhaps something a little greater than one in a million. Rolling my eyes. Big Grin

Fingers crossed Crossing Fingers! ...and eyes, too. Blinking Hilarious! Okay, maybe not...

Y'all are too funny. I was kinda thinking that tonight was the night. I've been out running errands and such and got home about 30 minutes ago. So I login and right away I see that I have a tree mail and I'm thinking, 'No way! I must be the first winner.' Visions of lollipops and all. Well, I was right when I said, 'No way.' 😝

I didn't even buy any tickets until yesterday or the day before. And I'd actually like to win the extra acorns. They're so much fun to toss at people.

I've been uploading a few photos from the Philly Flower Show. I let Joyanna decide how many acorns to spend (worked in a quick arithmetic exercise for her too LOL), and she chose to save some for the next raffle. Usually she wants to spend them all. I don't know what goes on in her head. ?

Good luck, everyone!

I know the ticket window closed yesterday evening (5/24). Thought the drawing was today. But since I'm using my phone I don't always see the whole picture, so to speak. And if Dave and gang are taking a break for awhile, then good for them. They deserve it.

They must have had a busy day today. Dave said it's today, so it will be posted before the day is done I'm sure. Smiling
