Hi all,

I am just reviewing the list for drawing names for choosing a square and here is the list so far:

Megan
Allison ༻hikes the bookwoods༺
Susan
MJ
Heather(Gibby)
Gail

Am I missing anyone? If you are still finishing up, I will keep adding to the list and 2 lucky winners will get to choose a square for 2020 (which seems so far away)!

I will be completing my 2018 bingo tomorrow... And depending on how this evening goes maybe tonight. Crossing my fingers.

Ha ha -- worth mentioning that Sarah has my daughter there overnight, so it cracks me up that she's trying to finish BINGO at the same time as taking an extra kid, leaving me with a little MORE reading time!!! :) You go, girl! Put that kid to bed!

Done!

@Allison my neice is so easy and no problem, she basically keeps the household in harmony.

Sarah wrote: "Done!"

Nice job, Sarah!!! Congrats! Great news :)
