Just realize the entries were formatted properly regardless how they look when I post them. <br /><br />In my book, all the participants are winners because they stepped up to the plate (baseball talk) and put the writing on the line to be judged. What faith! What courage!Nadine Lamanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11709289434339532281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422983897713906924.post-48651600432037891062010-03-18T15:00:31.634-07:002010-03-18T15:00:31.634-07:00Ditto Jo and Don!

I'm totally brain fogged from work and it is nice to come home and see comments. <br /><br />I have Jo's permission to post her story: From her email.<br /><br />Hi Nadine,<br /> <br />Just wanted to say thanks for running a very good competition. Your guidelines were clear and you do a good line in encouragement. I've learnt a lot from reading your blog. I'd love to see what the judges had to say and see what I could have improved. Of course you can post my story - I'm looking forward to reading the others. <br /> <br />Thanks again,<br /> <br />Jo SmithNadine Lamanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11709289434339532281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422983897713906924.post-68768396340466637882010-03-17T12:15:06.620-07:002010-03-17T12:15:06.620-07:00Congratulations Don!
