Be it ever so humble…

Thanks to all of you who participated in the drawing for the mugs:

I took all of your names and plugged them into a list at RANDOM.org and the following names/comments popped up:

Marti,
I think I have been reading MBFCF for about two years. Actually, it's
been longer that that. Wow – in the cyberworld, that's probably the
equivalent to a decade! LOL. Although I was born here, my mom is from
Oriente and my Dad is from Camaguey, although they met in La Habana.
I've been to all three parts of the island and I enjoyed each one.

Congratulations and Thank You for reading MBFCF and for sharing your lives with me. I can't tell you just how much that means to me. I often tell people that one of the highlights of blogging for me has been to be able to hear other people's stories.  I love how in your short 3 line comments you shared so much of yourselves. I'm so grateful.

Winners, please email me ASAP – in the subject line write: MARTA, I WON STUFF ON YOUR BLOG!  And send me your snail mail address and which mug you'd like me to send you.

And just for the record:


My mom, Luz Perez-Puelles, was from Puerto Padre, Oriente.
My dad, Rodolfo Antonio Verdés was from Pinar del Rio.
They met at the University of Havana, (this is from my mom's graduation & before they were married in 1939).
My parents stayed in La Habana, married there and started their family.
I was born in La Habana in 1955.
We lived in El Nuevo Vedado.  #33 Avenida de La Loma.

Happy Friday!

Ooops! I almost forgot….

If you didn't win, but would still like a mug, please get yourself over to my online store Cuba To Go! (I have other cool stuff there too. =D)
