                                                                                                        And the winner is........ME!!!!

                                                                       Well, not really...but I feel like a winner!

The bad news is that I had a really tough time picking a winner. I had lots of entries!!!  And a bunch came pouring in at the last minute!!   The good news is, as a result, I had to read them over and over to make a decision.  When I volunteered to judge this catagory, I had no idea what a treat it would be....and what a great geography lesson too!!  It was quite evident how much Active Rainers love their home towns and the areas where they live.   Speaking of love...I learned all about The City of Brotherly Love.  Be sure to visit the whole series. If there was ever a contest for Best Actor in a Blogging Series, Jeff Belonger would take the emmy!   And I learned there is a crazy little woman on Active Rain just crazy about her city!

 

From there I traveled from Florida to New Hamphshire, then to the mountains and the shoreline. Quite literally from sea to shining sea.   But the winner....ahem, ahem...."Oh give me a home, where the buffalo roam, la la la la la la la la......is....

Kristal Kraft.  I loved "Want a home where the buffalo roam" because of the way it combined a region, real estate and some fabulous photos.

              Congratulations Kristal!!!!

Kristal.... great job. I will be honest, I thought I would have had a great chance of winning. But I missed this one. Linda... I am sure it was not easy at all. But can you send my $20 bribe money back... lol Thanks for the honorable mention.

Congratulations!! Kristal.

Linda, I agree with Bryant, there were a lot of not only good, but great blogs in this category.  They picked the right person for a tough job.

Jeff ~ you silly boy, you must send Linda gift certs to Chicos! 

(just kidding of course ~ cash really does work too!)

Thanks for nice compliments, I really had a wonderful day thinking about the win. There were so many awesome blogs, I don't know how Linda managed to decide. 

It was the first time I have remembered to enter a Carnival...usually I'm just blogging....or taken photos!

thanks again,

KK.... boy?  who are you calling boy?  

Well, I guess I need to get my printing press back in operation for next time.

But again, kudos to Linda....  it takes someone special to stand up and volunteer to be a judge, especially in this group.  ;o)

 I'm sure I speak for a lot of people here on AR when I say thank you to Linda for hosting, to Maureen for putting the carnival together and of course to Kristal for the great post. Well done ladies.
