"Keep your
minds and hearts open to life's
endless and unforeseeable possibilities."
~~Octavia Spencer
Hi all,
Welcome to... I can't believe it!... JABB 500! In honor of
this occasion, I decided to bring back a contest after a long
hiatus. I figured it would also be a good opportunity to
look back on JABB's history. Before we get to that, a few
guidelines:
1. The deadline will be Oct. 29th.
2. Please send your answers to either my personal address
or the one I sent this newsletter from. Do not send your
answers to the YahooGroup.
3. I will send a prize of my choosing to whomever answers
the most questions correctly.
4. It's fine to use Google to help you. Hint: If you
start your Google search with site:onthisside.net then it will
search the entire JABB site. For example, if you wanted to
search the site for a reference to "The Violin Lesson," enter
"site:onthisside.net violin lesson" (don't include the quote
marks).
Finally, I just want to thank everyone who has been a part of
JABB whether as inspiration, co-author, researcher, encourager,
and/or reader. These 500 newsletters definitely wouldn't
have been the same without you! Actually, most of them
wouldn't have existed. Stories I will write for myself...
newsletters I will not. ;-)
God bless and hugs,
Jenni
