Great News! Rudolph Days Challenge will continue on.

Well...COVID hit both Al and I right after my last post. I have not been round to visit anyone yet and I am just today able to finally sit and type this post. We both test negative now, but still feel exhausted, with a hacking cough and we both can not take a deep breath of air. We got the new covid drug right after our positive test and I think it did help.

I have some fabulous news! Helen Nile has offered to take over the Rudolph Days Challenge. She has set up a new blog for the Rudolph Days Challenge. It is live now and the first challenge will be Feb 25, 2024. You can find it at (rudolphdayschallenges.blogspot.com) I hope you will play along and enter a card each month as you used to do with me. I will be playing along as much as I can, as I do love how this challenge helps get the Christmas cards done! I had computer trouble today and had to have geek squad reset my computer. My hyperlink option does not seem to be working now...ugggh. I will get it corrected and hopefully have the hyperlink up here on Feb 25 so you can just follow it over to Helen's new site.

I will do the draw for the January winner tomorrow as I am off back to bed...

Covid really knocked you two for a loop but I hope you're both feeling a whole lot better now. That's great news on the Rudolph Days Challenge staying open and I'm glad to read that someone has taken the reins for you. Take care and stay well. Hugs

Oh my goodness--it never ends for you guys! So sorry you got covid and glad there's a drug for us older folks! Guess living a basically isolated life has advantages now days as (knock on wood) we've both avoided covid! Hope you feel much better soon. How great that Helen is going to take over Rudolph Days!

I want to share my testimony with you all here on how to get finance from Mr Pedro who offers loans to individual and corporate at the rate of 2% in return. I stumbled upon his contact details online then I decided to give it a try. Then all my effort was not in vain because Mr Pedro granted me a loan of 820,000.00 USD to expand my business in which many banks have declined my request, but Mr Pedro approved my loans. I'm so grateful for what he and his loan company did for me and hopefully I will be paying yearly payment which is really good for me as a startup business owner. I will recommend his contact details Email address and WhatsApp number via (pedroloanss@gmail.com +393510140339)
