lovely award

Many thank-yous to Esther, Peggy, Cathy, and Marie for this Lovely Award! I'm humbled to be included in this group of especially charming and gracious bloggers. Each of the ladies who thought of me here really is an "exceedingly charming" woman who aims to "find and be friends," just as the award qualifications require, to wit:

“These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award.”

Of course, you know I have to turn around and offer this back to Esther at Catholic Mom in Hawaii, Peggy at Catholic Notebook, Cathy at A Bit of the Blarney,and Marie at View From the Pews. And, even though the following ladies have likely been nominated already, I'd like to add:

Suzy at Sailing by Starlight

Bia at La Dolce Vita

Mighty Mom at My Wonderful Life

Joann at Ten Kids and a Dog

Eileen at Eileen on Him
