When a merchant seaman finishes a voyage he gets a certificate of discharge from the captain. This certificate states when and where the voyage began and date and port of discharge. It also states what rank the sailor was sailing as during that voyage. Going through all the various papers that my father saved over the years, and he through nothing away, I came across all of his certificates of discharge marking every voyage throughout his career beginning with the Norwegian ships he sailed.
In the later years of my father's career as a merchant sea captain, my mother occasionally went with him as he sailed up or down the Pacific Coast. Going through his many papers and memories I came across this Certificate of Discharge that my father filled out with the dates and portage of the trip and my mom listed in the rating as "Captain's Captive"
I thought this was so cute!

I love to give things to people who “like” me, so this is a “LIKE ME” Giveaway that will be managed like a raffle, except the entries are free. The rules are simple and you can earn many entries and, of course, the more entries you have the greater your chances are for winning. My goal for this giveaway is to gain 100 “Likes” on my facebook page for Essential Bliss.
THE PRIZE ~ One free 16-oz jar of my silky bath soak in the fragrance of your choice plus I will also add a 2-oz package of a different scent for you to try.
THE RULES ~
1. Click to “like” my Essential Bliss facebook page (if you already have done this you have one entry so far)
2. Share this contest with your friends and anyone you know who might like to take relaxing soaks in a tub filled with silky fragrant water and ask your friend to “like” my page (they get an entry) then mention your name on my wall and you get another entry.
3. Your friends can then do the same to get more entries. The more entries you have the greater your chance for winning. Every time there is a new “like” and a name posted on my wall those names will be written on a little piece of paper and placed into my berry-picking bucket & stirred up every so often. Once I have 100 “Likes” I will then ask my husband to draw a name and that will be the winner of my very first facebook Giveaway.
I also have some fun ideas for future Giveaways and even bigger prizes to stay tuned! And thanks!
