a lot of you here watched my newest grandaughter, jolene, grow month by month as i held monthly coin giveaways the first year of her life.
she is now 20 months old so she's giving away 2 million of my coins. all ya got to do is post below.

this contest will be open until this wed, aug 10. that's because i'm not in yo much anymore. i've had and got some health problems. i fell and broke my shoulder third week in january, and it's still not healed right. i got a tear in the rotator cuff along with the break. have had 2 cortisone shots and doing physichal therapy twice a week. if that doesn't work, the only other option is surgery. my left knee is almost bone on bone now and wearing a knee brace. need knee replacement but holding out till summer is over. anyway a month ago my husband had emergency abcess surgery and today he had a 3 hr kidney surgery, so got to wait a bit longer as he is scheduled for another kidney surgery middle of sept. can't both be down at same time. so not too much of time i feel like being in yo. using my keyboard too often or long hurts my shoulder, too. i know we all got problems, too. that is why i haveb't been too active here or in discussions forum either.

enough of my sob story. i'm still very blessed and hope ya'll are, too. good luck to whoever is drawn out of braydon's football helmet.
good luck to all who enter.

i know this is my first contest in awile.

Oh My Goodness Gracious Miss Diana,
She is absolutely beautiful. I feel like it was just a few months ago she was born and now she is almost 2. Wow, such a beauty.

When I saw your title, the first thing I thought is how can she possibly be 2 already! But 20 months makes more sense! She is just as darling as ever

I am sorry to hear you and husband have both been dealing with health and physical issues. Hopefully things get better for you both soon

OMG! What a cutie Diana They grow so very fast. And I am sorry you and your husband are having such a time of it. I keep you in my thoughts Diana. Please take it easy.

She is precious. Praying that you and your husband get better soon.

Enjoy your moments with her,they are such precious things in life and I will keep you and family in my nightly prayers...I just wanna hug her and squeeze her lil cheeks and say "you are such a cutie!!"

Oh WOW, Diana, she is beautiful. Look how much she has grown! You are one lucky Grandma!!!

OMGGGGGGG she is sooooooooooooo cute! I didn't play a lot last yr I must have miseed it.
OMG 20 months is such a great age!
My grandma is 82, & my mom 62 and I am 40 now omg so I have a shot at 5 generations if one of my kids has a kid prob in next 6 yrs. We will see. If so I'm snaching that kid haha. Love kids.

OMG that sucks about your shoulder. My mom had that happen like 15 yrs ago in a car accident and still has pain but it a lot better. I really hope you heal. I can't even imagine as you use your arms and shoulders for everything.
I go to school and work from home online a little. If I lived by ya Id help ya out. it pretty much just me most of the time now that the older two graduated and the yongest is in her last yr of high school. I spend a lot of time alone. I have a boyfriend but he on a 2 day a wk seeing me limit. They try to move in if you don't have a limit lol.
I was married twice. No man living with me lol. Does leave me with a lot of free time for real. I was used to all this cooking and cleaning and being a mom and snap mostly over. Kinda but it hard to get the ones that don't live with you to listen until they learn the hard way and come crying to ya lol. 18 yr old moved out with her girlfriend oh 4 months ago. Ya know she will be back haha. I'm just waiting lol. She doesn't not know what living with a partner is lol. They are both good kids I am lucky but im pretty sure it wont last forever lol. I didn't try to stop her. She will figure it out. Yeah leaves me with a lot of time. Id totally help ya out with chores.

Ahhh she is so adorable, her eyes are just so stunning!! Time sure does fly!
