It was a damp, gloomy day and I was suffering with a bad cold, when the mail carrier came to the door with a box from Lynda Kamrath in CA. I carried the box into the living room and cut it open with a knife. Jersey and Jasmine was sniffing like crazy, trying to see what was inside. The duck toy that Groucho Too and Harpo sent must have been calling Jersey. She grabbed it out of the box and was running around throwing it up in the air and shaking it. She finally shared it with Jasmine, who perferred to snuggle with it. Lynda, who is very talented and creative made us a photo canvas of the "Jersey Girls" in the St Patty's day costumes, two hand made pillow covers. Her husband, Charlie made a handsome business card holder out of wood. Lynda also enclosed two of her books for me to read. "The Taking" by her favorite author, Dean Koontz and another, "Dog On It" , Spencer Quinn. Then, I found the HDA Trophy all wrapped up carefully in foam and bubble wrap. Of course the girls had to check it out and pose for their photo. I enjoyed reading through the journal, and seeing how far this trophy and journal had travelled before it got to me. We are thrilled with all of our beautiful gifts that Lynda sent and hope the person that receives the box from us will be happy with it's contents as well.

NEW CHANGES IN THE WAY THE HDA TROPHY WILL BE FORWARDED ON:

 

"According to Adina, everyone on the current HDA list who wants the trophy has now had it. So, because we can only see past the current HDA list, the way we'll be determine the next HDA recipient from now on will change starting now! If you have reached HDA status and have not yet received the trophy then you can be NEXT simply by responding to this discussion and stating so! First come, first serve! Let me know that you want to be next and if you have HDA status on your page, you'll be the next to receive this trophy!"

Well, in that case it seems the whole thing is a moot point.  Unless.....a new and more wonderful list is born.

Susan Goldstein...Soogee: It is not a moot point.  Although almost everyone on the list has gotten the trophy the game is NOT over.  Once everyone on the list has had it, we will go to a first come, first serve type game.  In other words, when there are no more people on the list, then those with HDA status who have not had the trophy will simply have to be first to respond to the announcement and they will be next..and so on.  Does that make sense/add clarification? 

So let's say you have HDA status (because you've earned 8000 points here).  Then a couple months from now someone posts that they are in position of the trophy and are looking for who wants to be next.  You would post "pick me, pick me" and if you were first then you'd be next.

I'm sad about this... I know that Christine and Shelby reached the HDA status in December. Christine was SO excited and has wondered when the coveted trophy would make its way to her in College Station, TX. I have been trying to "catch" her and am gaining on it. So, is she not on "the list?"

[Adina P]

Doris you can see the list. Just click on your trophy or star on your page and you will get taken to the leaderboard.  The problem is it only holds 50 on the list :-(  BUT remember NOT being on the list just means you or she will have to respond quickly the next time it is up for grabs (once we actually exhaust the current list of people...which I misjudged as exhausted).

[Doris, Knox & Flash]

That makes sense! Thanks, Adina!

[Donna K & Quincy]

Good, ignore the message I just sent you. :>)

[Sherri, Sophie, Winston, & Kitty]

Sweet!

[Jessica]

Yeah really.....

[Kaytlin and Cooper]

Congrats!

[Jersey, Jasmine, Jypsy and Diane]

Just let me know who is next in line to receive the trophy and have that person message me with their address and get ready for your package to arrive.

[Doris, Knox & Flash]

Congrats, Diane! Looks like you received a wonderful box of goodies from Lynda! How fun!! Love the pictures of your gorgeous girls!!

[Jersey, Jasmine, Jypsy and Diane]

Thanks, Doris and all the others who have congratulated me. I can't wait to find out where this trophy goes next . This is confusing.
