It’s funny sometimes, how things work out.  As I mentioned in my Monday blog post, months ago I was contacted by an editor at The Old Farmer’s Almanac, asking permission to use my photo of a glass light shade in an upcoming spring garden publication.

When the early March release date arrived, I started looking for the magazine.  And I looked everywhere.  I even looked in Hawaii when we were there over spring break.  And nothing. I figured I was destined to never know if my picture had actually been included.

And then yesterday, my husband and I were at Safeway picking up a few items.  I was holding a gallon of milk and a dozen eggs.  And standing there, in the checkout line, I just happened to look to my left.  And just like that, there it was!

The conveyor belt was crowded with the items from the customer ahead of us, but I managed to make room for the milk and eggs,  take a copy of the magazine from it’s holder, and begin to search for my picture.  With each passing page, my heart started to sink.  I laughed it off.  Just because I was asked didn’t mean they would really use it, I told myself.  And then, on the last page of the article where I expected it to be, I saw it-my photo!

So thanks for bearing with me while I crow about this, but I was pretty excited! 

Anyone want my autograph?  (I am totally kidding!) 

Seriously, thanks for your offers to look for the magazine for me-I appreciate it!!  :)
