Here’s another winner for you to meet. Yes, the First Friday Freebie strikes again.
Tomorrow is not only Independence Day for those of us in the USA, but it’s First Friday Freebie day as well. Check out the First Friday Freebie rules below. You’ll find out how simple it is to enter to win. This is a special monthly gift for my email subscribers only.
Let’s meet April’s winner –

Carol from Boonville, Missouri.
Congratulations, Carol!
Carol is shown here with the jewelry set she won and I really hope she enjoys wearing it as an expression of her faith. As an email subscriber, Carol commented as directed in the freebie post on the day it arrived in her inbox. I require this tiny bit of effort each month in order to prevent spam and make sure you’re on your toes and paying attention.
I send freebies anywhere in the continental U. S., so don’t think you’re too far away to enter.
If you’d like to see other past winners and their gifts check it out here on my Freebies! page.

We live in a life filled with gadgets and you’ll find that this blog can have a different appearance depending on whether you are on your computer, tablet or smartphone. You can easily navigate in the menu under “CONTACT”, fill in your email and hit “SUBSCRIBE”. Confirm your subscription when the email arrives. If you’ve don’t receive a confirmation email, please email me at barb@midweststoryteller.com – it seems that from time to time, a subscription will get “stuck”.
Subscribers get an email reminder each time there’s something new – like when there’s a FREEBIE on the First Friday of every month or when I post news on upcoming novels, a new story or recipe. You’ll always be able to check out the latest bit of encouragement, healthy recipes, short stories, lots of laughs and updates on the books I write.
Freebies can help me reach more people, but only if you share them with your friends and family. When you share on MeWe, Facebook, Instagram, X, Pinterest, you’ll give them the opportunity to subscribe and win also. Subscribing is free. Freebies are free.
On July 4th, you’ll see the new Freebie. Enter to win that day. A winner is chosen at random from those subscribers who enter before midnight CST. Then, check your email in the days following.
Smartphone reminders help.

Summer is in full swing and I hope you are enjoying it to the fullest. Make the best of every day. Be a bit spontaneous. A few days ago, I took Lil’ Snookie and Fruity Pebbles to the park to play with friends and cousins. As we rolled up, a rumble of thunder told us that we were about to get wet. Five seconds later, we got wet. Though the adults headed for the shelter house, we let the little ones run and play in the rain. Oh, how it rained and oh, how they ran and laughed. We took them all home – soggy and happy.
Leave a comment – what’s something spontaneous you’ve done for summer fun that’s made a memory for you?
