Congrats to all the winners!

Happy Birthday to JoeBass! I bet he only had a couple of tickets, so perhaps he should also buy a lotto ticket!

The video made me laugh! Too cute those 2 little people and such awesome older children! Dave and Trish must be very, very proud of their children! Thumbs up

I never feel the liberty to share how many tickets each person bought but I did go look and saw that you only bought one ticket, Joe, and I smiled. It's always fun when a one-ticket purchase results in a win!

Never expected to win, but I will really enjoy some plants from High Country Gardens! Loved the video too. Hard to believe the oldest are teens or nearly so.

The oldest is 15 years old and the second oldest is 13. The 13 year old was one week old when I started DG. In fact, I made that website because I had spare time during that timeframe. I was watching the older baby during Trish's recovery from the birth, and had many hours to do an online project, and that became DG.

I just rewatched the video and grinned the entire time. I enjoyed watching it as much as, or more than, all of you! Smiling

Congratulations to all the winners!

Thanks to all those who work to put these together and for the acorns for the raffle. It is awfully nice of those companies to give the prizes.

It sure is fun to be able to watch Dave and Trish's family growing up on these raffles. Thanks for sharing them with us. They are delightful! Smiling
