On this Fourth of July, in the spirit of Dependence—yes, I depend on you my adorable readers, and I want to give you all a big hug and a gift. But that would be hard, and I’m busy caregiving. However…………

This week I went over the moon when I saw I have over 500 followers! I am so grateful that you are riding this roller coaster with me either as a caregiver, friend, or the person who must always ride in the front seat, no matter how scary the ride.

So, as a special thanks, I want to bestow one lucky reader a $50 Target gift card. (I thought 500 dimes would be hard to ship). As soon as my husband returns home from golfing I’m going to have him pick a number from 1 to 50.  The commenter who is that magic number will be the appreciated reader!

It’s small potatoes for the kind and loyal readers you have become. I appreciate each and every one of you. I love your comments and  your stories about caregiving and hope you continue to share. In fact, one day we will have a sharing day with appreciation too, I think.

Now, my husband can be a quirky guy. (If you call khakis and golf shirts, with the occasional button down collar quirky) and he could pick the number 1.  So you never know. This is not a contest (the lawyer in me) it’s a gift. I just don’t know who it’s for.

If you comment 50 straight times, well, that wouldn’t be nice now would it? I reserve the right to give my gift to a nice person….so only nice people will be counted.

Happy 4th of July to you all!
