Rose are red,
Violets are blue,
Maple syrup is sweet,
And Naomi,
a jug of it
is coming to you!
Naomi has been chosen by random.org as the winner of Laura’s birthday giveaway! Here’s what Naomi had to say about her favorite Laura-ism:
I too have many favorites, of course. But one that comes to mind is this one — it’s such a clear picture of the difference in personality between Laura and Mary.
“Mary and Laura wanted to catch one. Again and again they almost had one. The gopher would stand perfectly still until you were sure you had him this time, then just as you touched him. He wasn’t there. There was only his round hole in the ground.
Laura ran and ran and couldn’t catch one. Mary sat perfectly still beside a hole, waiting for one to come up, and just beyond her reach gophers scampered merrily and gophers sat up and looked at her. But not one every came out of that hole.”
Congratulations, Naomi! Please email your mailing information to beyondlittlehouse (at) gmail (dot) com and we will get your maple syrup to you. A special thank you goes out to all of you who shared your favorites (which I know is pretty much impossible). I think we all enjoyed reading them.
