I know you’re there. I feel your eyes on me. You’re reading my every thought. Because you’re reading this, you know very well that I’m talking about you. Hey lurker, what are you thinking? Who are you? Won’t you say hello?

( What’s a Lurker?
A lurker is a person who reads a blog, but doesn’t comment.)

According to my stat counter I had 344 first time visitors to my blog today and 20 returning. (You were among that 364 weren’t you?)

What would you know I won the lottery. I don’t even remember entering. Today Mrs. Coordinator Kathy Vero sent me an email to inform me that I had won the star prize of $2,000,000.00 US. In order to claim my winnings I need to contact their branch office in the Netherlands with my full name, a copy of my passport and some other information. I better go now and contact them.

Jehn Sanders from K- Media Solutions promises to increase my monthly web traffic and get me the best position on every major search engine. Jen Sanders sent me a wonderful offer today via email. Obviously Jehn harvested my email, because if Jehn actually visited my Today’s Woman Writing Online Writing Community they would know I’m Canadian. The footnote of the email made a point to say “This promotion is only valid for USA websites.” (Lucky for me, I don’t qualify.)

“Stand straight, walk proud, have a little faith”- Garth Brooks

It’s July 4th and that means a day for Americans away from blogging to enjoy time with family and friends. I almost forgot that today was America’s 232nd Birthday. I would like to extend my wishes for a Happy Fourth of July to my American readership. Did you know that today is also independence from meat day? I guess American vegetarians will be grilling veggie burgers today. Whether you are eating a juicy hamburger, a sausage dog or enjoying your veggie burger I hope you have a wonderful day. Today is also ‘National Country Music Day.’ If there ever was a country song made for the 4th of July, God Bless the USA by Lee Greenwood is it.

When it comes to country music, you either love it or you hate it. I happen to love it. In honor of Country Music day I thought I would list just a few of my all time favorite country songs.

Skunks, hedgehogs, foxes, bears, rabbits and daughters- Oh My!
