{The WINNER of the Christmas with Victoria 1997 book}

On September 15 by midnight was the end of my International Giveaway Christmas with Victoria 1997 Book. It took me a bit longer for working this out as we had just come home by 2:00 AM that very day. 

Back from a 16-day trip to The Netherlands for a wedding and twice visiting Mom in the hospital for her dialysis. 

Also a lovely trip to the Eifel in Germany where we went to the highest point, the Hohe Acht, which is a tertiary volcano. On top is a tower, built by Emperor William in 1908/1909 as a gift to his wife on their 25th wedding anniversary.

But now to the winner of this lovely book...

Using the True Random Number Generator...

Number 11 came out as the winner:

Ginger from the lovely Savannah Granny blog.

Make sure to pay her a visit as she  has the cutest post about a baby porcupine.

Thanks to ALL who participated, as I would love to show my appreciation for following and reading my blog!

{Our Mail got Misssent to one of 10 other Dublins}

When we just had immigrated on August 29 of 1983, most of the mail from our loved ones traveled quite some time before finally ending up in our mail box! Let's have a look at the total of 11 Dublins in the world. Maybe I have overlooked one, so please let me know. But yes, Mom's letters came in with all those stamps on the back that read: Misssent to Dublin, Ireland. Next was a stamp from Dublin, California and Ohio... Did you all know that there were so many Dublins?

Do you have some similar mail problems with letters that didn't reach you in time?
