Congratulations to Christine Ladke for winning last weeks challenge. Christine won a $10 coffee card to a coffeehouse of her choice. The correct place in the picture that I posted was in fact the fountain at Riverfront Park. A great place to go when downtown on a hot summer day… the kids love to splash through the water and its fun to watch them. The fountain is a fairly new feature to the park. Well, actually its about 10 years old now. I bet many of you didn’t know that the idea of the fountain being built and placed in the entrance of the park was born back in 1974 following Expo ’74 when the park was renovated, but funding put it off till 30 years later. It was put in the park several years ago and a feature I think added a little fun and a way to cool off when the heat is getting to you. Here is a full picture of the fountain and a link that explains the idea of the fountain, where it came from and how long it took to put the idea in place.

Sorry I am getting this posted so late but I’m sure you all understand with it being Easter Sunday, it was a very busy morning, followed by some relaxing time with the family enjoying a buffet of amazing food! We had ham with a champagne apple sauce that was to die for, green bean casserole, cheddar hash brown casserole, candied yams, rolls and of course deviled eggs. I am writing this blog fighting a food coma and will surely pass out after I post this lol. Luckily I had a day off today 🙂 Being a holiday I did not have to worry about showing any houses or signing any deals around. I did make a couple calls today for a buyer that wanted some information on a couple homes and wanted me to schedule an appointment for showings… When you are a realtor you don’t really ever get a day off. That’s ok though because i really do love being a realtor and honestly, it doesn’t feel like work to me. And stepping into the bedroom, away from the family for 10 minutes to make these calls was no big deal. So, on to Week 7 of the challenge. Hmm, what to give the winner for this prize… I’m getting tired of the same old coffee cards so for this week I’m going to ask that you give me some new ideas for prizes. That’s right, I’m leaving this prize up to you. However, I do ask that you keep the prize under $10. It can be a gift card to your favorite restaurant, movie theater, department store, a gas card, visa card… whatever you want so when you submit this weeks challenge answer also leave your request for the prize. Remember though, please keep it under $10. If your uncomfortable leaving an idea for a prize, that’s ok. I will think of something or use someone else’s idea. I will use other responses from those that didn’t win in future challenges. And as I keep reminding you guys at the end of the 52 weeks a SUPER PRIZE will be given to one lucky winner for that last week so keep the challenge going, keep submitting guesses and pleas tag or invite your friends to these challenges! Occasionally, I may even throw in a mini super prize 🙂 Ok, here it is… Where are we?
