But Wait! There's More!
We never get tired of these:

The winter of 1932 in the U.S. was so cold that Niagara Falls froze solid. (A depression AND a miserable winter? Wonder what the suicide rate was? Blech...)

Get Outta Town!
Y'all are just too sweet. My readers evidently nominated me for Best Blog by a Female Blogger over at the first annual Theobloggers Christian Blog Awards. How nice is that?
I was GOING to come over here and say "vote now! vote often!" (I THINK you can actually only vote once, though) but then I went and saw that two of the sweetest people EVER share the ballot with me!
Dee, who is blog buddies with Denise and Tammy, and our own
Red Hot Momma, Amanda are also nominated for the award. (Amanda leaves no stone unturned about a godly marriage on her blog. Love it -- she's also been a 'Good Thing..' over here!)
So, vote your conscience over there. Winners will be announced at Tulsa Workshop on March 28.
Hey, I have an idea...! In the comments, tell me about one (only choose one -- Roxanne!) of your favorite blog posts of mine. Okay, I'll make it easier on Roxanne -- I'll go ahead and put the recent Valentine's one, the baked potato one, and maybe my 'What I've learned' (birthday) one on the list. I'll include links to some of those from your list over the next few days if any newcomers are 'scoping me out' trying to decide before voting. If nothing else, it will be FUN! :-)
Poor Riley -- his random fact of the week got upstaged by that news, but it is definitely worth sharing still.
So at lunch on Sunday, family is discussing a PRECIOUS friend we have that I recently learned was a stewardess for her pre-children career.
Riley: "Stewardesses is the longest word you can type on a keyboard using only your left hand."
"May I PLEASE use that for a random fact for the week?"
"Absolutely. It's TRUE!"
And so it is. I shall type it one more time just to prove it: stewardesses. See? You try it!

Interesting Fact for the Week
I've been VERY busy working on a project I will show you later in the week. I will give you a hint, though:
I have not painted, re-carpted, re-tiled, or installed anything. Nor have I mopped, dusted, washed, or de-cluttered anything. So, my house is a WRECK!
And I almost didn't get a blog in today. So, I have decided that Riley is going to help me blog one random fact a week.
For today, you get one that Riley delivered to us when I instructed him to go get a broom last week.
Riley returns and says:
"Did you know that the world's largest broom was broken down into 1,440 regular size brooms?"
I did not know that. Now I do, and so do you.
