“This award acknowledges the values that every blogger shows
in his/her effort to transmit cultural, ethical,
literary and personal values every day.”
My thanks to Michelle at Whimsyway for making my day on Sunday. It was a very long day of yard-work. I can’t tell you what a lovely little surprise it was to find a blog award left for me at the end of the day.
So the official part is that Whimsyway has awarded me The Wonderful Blog Award! I must now pass this on to 15 other and let them know. They in turn should pass it on and so on and so forth!
Wow! 15?! I really liked Michelle’s twist to award to those blogs that inspire her. I’m twisting it too….and I’m starting with these lovely ladies:
It is actually very hard to make a list of bloggers because apparently I read a bunch of the big bloggers like Pioneer Woman and Dooce!! I didn’t list the mutual friend that Michelle awarded (*you know who you are and that I think you are a peach!*) And I didn’t list anyone who I blog stalk just read but have never commented. Um….that took out a whole bunch of my reads. I also apparently read a heck of a lot more than I comment *shame on me!!*
Enjoy visiting these lovely ladies if you are new to them. I have a reason why I visit each of them and I am often as delighted by those unique and varied reasons as I am by the unique and varied people behind each blog!!
PS: I will try my best to notify each of you shortly….where shortly means in the next 5 days *cough*
Boxes for No Reason
Monday, March 9th, 2009
We didn’t quite make our plan for our dear Uncle K. happen. But we had intended to send
BIG WISHES!!
Alas we were not quite successful and instead sent
small wishes.
Uncle. K on the other hand once again achieved “Jedi Knight” or maybe Yoda?? then again it is probably “Sith” status what with the boys’ drawn to the dark side (ha ha ha ha). How? By sending the boys a Box for No Reason that had….action figures in it!! I think Boxes for No Reason are almost better than presents for an occasion. I snapped a picture of the boys saying thanks and enjoying their new people.
Best part of this idea was the attempt to get the above picture. I have four or so that look like this one:
Grace in Small Things #65
1. finding an old friend after a number of years AND finding her in a wonderful, happy place in her life.
2. hearing that another friend getting a weekend all to herself and finding myself feeling bubbles of happy for her!
3. knowing that one of my favorite book sales is coming up in just a couple weeks.
4. getting all the packages in the mail!
5. locating the boys’ artwork so I can photograph it for the upcoming Kid Art Auction for Earth Day 2009.
Participate in Schmutzie’s Grace in Small Things!
