Fellow Homesteader Needs Our Help
I hope nobody minds if I post this here. If it's not appropriate please delete it and let me know.

Suzanne McMinn at Chickens in the Road blog, a fellow homesteader, needs our help. She has entered a contest which could result in a nice 6 month paying job for her if she wins. If you don't already know Suzanne, she is a single mom raising three teenagers while living a simple life in the countryside of West Virginia. She is a writer and blogs about her homesteading adventures at Chickens in the Road. This day and age she really needs this job (don't we all). You can read about her contest entry here. If you have five seconds can you help out by voting for her? It really only takes a second. You can vote today and every day until December 7th when the contest ends. You can click here to watch her video essay and vote. We all need a little help now and then and if we can help a fellow homesteader it's even better.

Looks like a good thing to me - it's not like she's asking for much, 5 seconds to click and hopefully she will end up with the job. We all know how hard jobs are to find these days..
so I clicked and actually took less than five seconds..lol

come on folks, help one of our HT folks snag a job!

Wanting to know what I was voting for I watched a couple other videos, too. Then I voted for her. She is very articulate.

Thank you all! After watching the other contestants video essays it was easy for me to jump on the band wagon to help her out. I knew you all would too. I'm voting for her daily. You can too. Thanks again.

Done! What a beautiful video! It actually brought tears to my eyes (I miss my chickens so - stuck in an apt for now).
I'll do my best to keep voting.
Good luck to Suzanne!
