3 Years Ago Today...

A great event in the history of man occurred. Okay. Just a bit of hyperbole there. It wasn't a *great* event and very few people noticed. Actually NO one noticed at the time. It was the day that old Susie Q introduced herself to the world. Well, so to speak.

Howdy do, my name is Sue!

It was the debut of Rabbit Run Cottage. October 20th, 2006. Just click on the words Rabbit Run Cottage and you can take a peek at what passed for a post back then! I had no idea what blogging would come to mean to me or of all the delightful friends I would have come into my life because of it.

I have truly been blessed to be a part of this wonderful blogging community. It is an honor to be invited into your lives, your homes, to have you share a bit of your world with me. I hope you have found something here at Rabbit Run that has made you smile, laugh or think. I have been so inspired, uplifted and delighted by each one of you.

I hope to continue blogging for a long time to come and I hope that you will share that journey with me. I may not always post or visit in a timely fashion but I hope you will forgive me for this...and for that I want to thank you so, so much!

AND, to thank you for being such special friends over these past 3 years, I want to have a little giveaway.

I am offering 3 books. The first is Waterside Cottages  by the fabulous Barbara Jacksier for the decorator and home lover in you,
Eloise: The Ultimate Edition for the child in you, and Julie and Julia just because I loved it AND the movie!

Just leave a comment here, on this post, and I will add your name to the list of possible winners!

I will pull a rabbit...er...name out of my hat on Tuesday, October 27th so you have a week to get that comment on here! 'K?

Thanks to you, each one of you who mean so much to me!

Love and Hugs,

Susie Q

A Note From Bill...

The Rabbit Run Cottage gang at your service!

Hello to you all! Susie has been unable to pay any of you a visit due to our at home Internet connection problems! This has, as you would expect, made her a very unhappy blogger. Very! Our son Dan, the computer guru, thinks he has the problem solved so she should be back up and running tomorrow. She sends her love and hopes you are all well! I send my best wishes to each of you too. I also want to thank you for all your very special support to her and kindnesses shown to her following our "niece" doggie, Haley's, death. Susie took it all quite hard but is finally able to smile when we talk about Haley! Most of you are animal lovers so you well know the attachments we form to our pets. Thank you so much for "being there" for my girl. Oh, another thing, she wants those who asked to know that yes, the stone house in the photos is in our hometown. There are quite a few here. She will be posting many more pictures of other homes soon. Susie has taken to photography in a big way and loves getting out and shooting (So to speak!) places she loves. Thank you again for all your kindnesses and all of us around Rabbit Run Cottage send their best wishes! Cheers!

Bill, husband to the sweetest girl I know, Susie Q

Stalking Is Such An Ugly Word Isn't It?

I get absolutely no respect from my children...no respect at all. See? This is what they think passes as comedy! I am simply appalled. Simply. Appalled. Harumpf.
