You're Gonna Love It - Week 14

First, I want to thank you all for your

prayers for my city and state.

Although we weren't directly affected by the horrible

shootings, it still made us very sad and angry.

As I told some of you,

your prayers will surely

help us all to heal.

 

Unbelievably  July is almost over!

August will be pretty exciting around here.

First, my youngest son and his beautiful

girlfriend will be delivering my handsome

new grandson in August!!!

 (aren't they so cute!?)

 You can be sure, I will be sharing 

many pictures of Joshua!

Next, I will be getting a big

makeover here at the ole blog.

With my one year blogiversary in August

I decided things around here
needed some freshening up.
I plan for the new look to go live
starting on August 1st
and so things could be
a bit wonky here for a few days.

Be sure to keep an eye out for her new 'do!

And finally, as I stated,

my one year blogiversary is August 24th

and I am in the process of setting

up a big giveaway to celebrate!

I'm thinking of making it a week long event,

cuz, well, you know I like to party!

 And, speaking of which,

what say we get this weeks party started?!

The most viewed post last week

was a newcomer to the party and to blogging too by the looks of it!

Welcome Veronica and Daniel

from 

Adventures of D and V

(speaking of cute couples!)

and their post showing

A Better Way To Cut Watermelon

Grab an "I've Been Featured button", you cutie patooties -->

Now I want everyone,

to put on your party hats

and grab your red solo cups

cuz the 

You're Gonna Love It Party - Week 14

starts right NOW!

  Feel free to link up anything you created, baked, mashed,

 decorated, wrote, photographed, discovered etc.!
Anything you are just so proud of
you must share it with others!

As always, I don't require that you
be a follower
in order to link up.
 I want you to follow
Kathe With An E
because you want to.
Not because it is required.

Ohh and you can now follow me

on Facebook (Kathe With An E) 

and Twitter (@kathewithane123) too!

(Of course if you do decide to follow,
either with GFC or the newer Linky Followers,
you will be able to see on your dashboard

  exactly when the party starts each week
and, let's be honest,
you will make me smile and
I love to smile!)

As always,  I will ask that you think
about disabling your word verification too.
It makes it difficult to leave a

comment and some

bloggers, when they see 

you have it, won't bother to leave a comment.

Don't know if your blog requires word verification 

or how to remove  it?

 My blog buddy Shannon over at

Fox Hollow Cottage

wrote this great post on

how to remove word verification from your blog

And I have a new one!

I get so many

lovely comments from you all

that I can't reply to because

you are a no-reply comment blogger!

That makes me sad because, no matter

how busy life gets, I ALWAYS reply

to every single comment you leave. 

 

I would also love it if you would link back
in some way
so that others come and party with us. 

 Either grab the party button
or add my blog link
to your post or on your

 blog party page.
But again, it's not required. 

Only one real rule:

  I do ask that you
please DO NOT link up

  Giveaways, anything for sale,or Etsy shops.
Save those for the party on the first Tuesday each month.

Link to your specific post URL, not your main blog URL.
And don't forget to come back and mingle

with the other linkers!
Let them know you met them at
the party here.
That's it!

Link up buttercups!
