Wow! I don't think I've ever been first. I enjoyed participating in the Rooster party this year. Love Cracker Barrel. Happy 200th post! I am a follower.
ReplyDeleteBarb-My you are the prolific one! Congratulations! Aren't you glad you started blogging:)? Thanks for the wonderful giveaway--I believe I'd want it in merchandise (not that I don't like the food). They have such cute things! I am a follower!

Hi Barb - I've been following your blog for a LONGGG time and I've posted your button on my blog. I just said to my HD that we should eat at Cracker Barrel so I could check out the gift shop. We ate elsewhere to keep the money in check so this is ironic to see that I might(crossing my fingers) win a gift card. Congrat's on 200 posts!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful giveaway! Throw my name in the hat please & yes - I am a follower. Would love a shopping trip to Cracker Barrel!
