Nancy comes to Mobile, Alabama today!

I just couldn't wait to post this, it hasn't happened yet, but will in just 4 more hours! I can't wait !

I would like to say that I will post some pics this afternoon, but sad to say that I still don't know how to do that.

Maybe someone here will allow me to email them the pics and you can post them here for me?

LOOK FOR MY POST with all the details.

Stephanie

Stephanie,

I'd say that you're a little ANXIOUS!

Looking forward to the pictures.

Bert

Stephanie,

Posting pictures is not that difficult. John has made space available at lighthousekeepers.com for members to upload pictures to be shared with forum readers. Go to this link for directions on how to upload and a link to the instruction page.

Here are a couple of links to old threads that talk about posting images:
link one
link two

When you upload a picture to lighthousekeepers I will get a message telling me you have done so. If you can't get it done, email them to me and I will put them into your post.

One thing to remember before uploading is to resize your picture so it is 450 pixels on its longest dimension. Use jpeg so the image is compressed and doesn't take an hour to load for those of us with dial-up connections. If you scan a pic, I think John says 72-75 dpi will be more than good enough for what can be seen on a computer monitor.

Dave

A little ANXIOUS is what I was!

You should see me NOW !!!!!!

Does anyone have a dry pair of pants? I think mine might be a little wet!!!!!!!

I WON THE GOLD!

And no you won't find this one on E-bay or anywhere else. It will be at my house till the day I die!

Stephanie

Congratulations on winning the GOLD, Stephanie. FRom the sound of you, that certainly MADE YOUR DAY! Good for you and I'm glad you're keeping it. Now we're waaiting for your pictures!

Bert

Stephanie,

Congratulations on your good fortune.

Maybe you could trade the Gold for a van? Just kidding.

It's that old ying and yang thing-= some bad, then some good.

Enjoy the good!

Dennis

WOW! You won the Gold? Super! Congrats on joining the few lucky folks who have been fortunate enough to take home the gold!

Bob

Stephanie, that is just the It's always great to have one of the Forum members win.
Rithie

Congratulations, Stephanie. I suppose that you now also need to take the van in to be cleaned in addition to all its other problems. . .

Now, where are those pictures???

Dave

Way to go Stephanie!!! You deserve to win the gold.

OH MAN! YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE THIS!!! It happened to me and I don't believe it!

When my luck runs bad, it runs really bad, as many of you know from my experience with my van this past week. However today it was good, really really GOOD!

Ok here's the story: This morning Nancy Younger was at Robert Moore's here in Mobile form 10 til 12 and as stated earlier I WON THE GOLD! Then this afternoon from 4 til 6, she was at Kay Dee's Hallmark in Pensacola, FL. Being that it is only an hour away and I have sooooo many pieces to be signed, I decided to drive on over there and do it again. And DO IT AGAIN is what I did!!! Yes that's right I won TWO GOLD's in one day!

Note that I bought myself a Florida Lotto ticket on the way home! :rolleyes: Hope my luck stays with me till after the drawing tonight!

Stephanie

LOL! What a day for you!

Taking home the GOLD Twice!

Congratulations, Stephanie. Hope that lottery ticket pays off too!

Unbelievable!

As the saying goes sometimes the Bear eats you and sometimes you eat the Bear!

Strike while the iron is hot.

Always nice to see someone have a good day.

Hope the streak continues for you.

Dennis

It's a Cinderella story! Who would have thought!

Congratulations! Now you will definitely be hooked on Harbour Lights for life!

Bob

Stephanie, I guess we send you a double congratulations as you won two golds. Good thing the van was running right with all that weight (Two gold HL's). Now we want to see the pictures of you with the two golds.

Bert

Way to go Stephanie a set of twins ! Remember to post a pic of how you display them. Did you get yours or are they on a ship in San Diego harbor too? I'm glad your van made it home OK with all that gold adding to weight of your signed pieces! Great news.

Chuck

Stephanie, you should go right out and get some books by Mark Twain and use the gold pieces for bookends. Check the thrift stores, libraries and used book stores and get old looking ones to add character. And, oh yes, don't forget to read them too!

One of my fondest memories is of the times when my Dad read to me of the adventures of Huck Finn.

Mombo that's a great idea!

It just so happens that I have a 4 book set of Mark Twain, that was handed down to me by my Grandmother. The books are a dark green hard cover (and get this) with Gold lettering! The copyright date on these books is 1917 by Mark Twain Company, printed by Collier.

I think I'll move these book off the book case where they are collecting dust and move them to the qurio with my two new GOLD HL's. Thanks for the idea!

Stephanie

Sounds like this was meant to be Stephanie! Terry

Gee, Sue, was Mark writing the pages out and then handing them to your Dad to read to you???

Stephanie,all I can say now girl is you deserve it. It's like it was mean to be.
Ruthie

Watch out, Dave! Mombo might have a voodoo doll with your name on it.

Sue, put that pin down before you hurt him really bad! No not there! OUCH!!! (LOL)

Bob

Ok here's the pics!

first one at Robert Moores in Mobile, AL



next is at Kay Dee's Hallmark in Pensacola, FL



Notice the look on my face is not a smile, but rather a state of shock!!

Stephanie

Here is how my TWO Golds are displayed.



Stephanie

Steph, you may also want to check the way you are typing the ending three letters. I noticed that the problem I was that my computer automaticly names the files .JPG I was typing the files as .jpg on the post - since the forum is very capital sensitive it wasn't working. Check the names of your imagines - it may be something as simple as that. Hope that helps!

How beautiful and appropriate!

And unique!

Thanks John,

Mombo gets the credit it was her idea! I just went with it. And I LIKE IT!!!

Stephanie

Hi Steph,

That's awesome!!

Dan

Stephanie,

You are probably the only person on the forums that can display Mark Twain books in between the two (Count them guys and gals, TWO!) Gold Mark Twain towers. Great photo and what a wonderful way to display your GOLD! Fantastic!

Bert

Steph, I have to say - I LOVE your face in the second picture. It almost seems like it should have a caption on it that says. . .

Gas to Event - $27.01
Film for Camera - $4.35
Anclote Key Relite the Lite Shirt - $15.00
Harbour Light for Gold Certificate - $60.00
Stephanie's expression when she wins her SECOND Gold HL – PRICELESS!!!

The idea with the Mark Twain books really worked out well! Nice display!

I'd wish you luck on winning the gold at the HL Regional Event, but I'd like to win something also! LOL :p Good luck anyways - you deserve it!

Stephanie..that is just so AWESOME Congrats to you.
Ruthie

Beautiful!!!

Congratulations Stephanie! Nice pictures!

Bert, I can think of at least one more in here that has two ...

I 've been trying to think who that could be and can only take a wild guess! Was it Paul's wife. Seems I saw somewhere on the forums where they donated it to a raffle if I'm right. As a matter of fact I think I am right as I recently bought some raffle tickets.

Bert

Stephanie, I don't know how I missed this topic? Congratulations! But you've always been pretty lucky - you've done well on the LI Chapter Raffles! You have to be in it to win it! Couldn't have happened to a nicer person. Oh there's Dave? Like I said "it couldn't have happened to a nicer person!" Enjoy the Twins!
Bob

Methinks that 'one more' be Randy Kremer!

Carolyn McBee won two, but did not accept the second one so that another person could be added to the winner's circle.

Dave

I don't have one... but my kids each have one.

And Hannah with Nancy in Batavia, IL. late this past summer.

JOhn,

Do you think Randy might tell us if it is him? I would hope so! Great going Randy!

Bert

Mark,

I think it's wonderful that your kids each have one. Maybe, just maybe, they might share them with you sometime. Or at least let you look at them. I think it's great! Thanks for sharing the photos.

Bert

Well, I did win one and my wife has also won one, so we do have two!

They do make nice book ends!

Well John, I have to admit that he finally came forward. A little on the sheepish side, but he did admit that he and his wife have two.

I think that's great Randy. I'm sure they make great bookends, and I'm sure they look great wherever you have them displayed.

Bert

Bert, it should be old news! Look back about 4 to 6 months in this exact section of the forums!
