RE: 600 Followers Giveaway! With Special Guest Star...

in #giveaway6 years ago (edited)

This is awesome! I read through all the comment too and love the interaction that you've got going here too! And the video...so darn cute; I loved it the most :)

  1. Most know I recently moved from Canada to Mexico, that I was a high school teacher for years, and that I owned and operated a restaurant for a while too.
  2. Most don't know that I'm a twin and that I was raised on a farm :)

After going through the comments again, I wondered if you mind if I ever do a contest like this too @crowbarmama; of course you would get full recognition for such a cool idea :)

Thank you! I've just come across your posts recently so I didn't know about your move, but now you've got me curious! I'll have to dig around your posts for more info. What subject did you teach in high school? I taught music and art at a K-3rd school before having kids. And what kind of restaurant did you have? For some time, my husband was trying to convince me to open a restaurant focusing on allergy-friendly foods, but I am not consistent enough. If I make chicken 5 nights in a row it's different every night. 😁

As for#2, you probably hear people tell you all the time how they would have loved to have had a twin. The old Parent Trap movie was a favorite of mine as a child. 😉

I would love to see more people host contests like this! Thanks for the support! Let me know when you post yours so I can participate and resteem.

Great to 'meet' you!

You're most welcome @crowbarmama; thanks for the invite! I taught high school English, History, and Special Needs at a Fine Arts School. It was awesome, so much creativity; I loved it! Then I met my now husband (@briancourteau), and my interests took a turn. He worked for a franchised restaurant (Head Office), so I took a leave from teaching and bought one of the restaurants; Like me, it was something he had always wanted to do too and we ended up deciding to do it over a pitcher of beer when one of the existing stores came up for sale haha . I only did if for a year and a half but loved that too. It was a specialty burger place, but with the franchise, I had all the support I needed to figure out what the hell I was doing haha

My husband unfortunately got cancer, so we sold it, did the chemo thing (including other treatments), but nothing worked, so we decided to sell absolutely everything and retire early to Mexico to enjoy whatever time he's got left. We've been here a year now and he's still hanging on...some days are tough, but we enjoy every minute we have. Such is life ❤️

Yes, regarding the twin thing; I've heard it plenty 😎 I'll tag you for sure whenever I get around to the post!

I didnt know you are a twin, @lynncoyle1!!! :)
