Walking the Red Carpet - Blog Awards

(or at least it feels that way!)

With my father's passing and funeral masses in both Florida and here in New England, the last month and a half have been a blur.

In the midst of it all, some wonderful bloggers sent a bunch of blog awards my way. While they all deserve more awards of their own, I know how much time goes into choosing bloggers to pass these awards to, so I will give them a break (this time) by awarding only to other bloggers. Please check out these talented women who are always quick with a kind word to brighten my day:


Thank you to Xenia at Thanks, Mail Carrier for:











Now for passing some love back into the blogosphere. Here are the rules of this award:

This award is bestowed on to blogs that 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 six bloggers who must choose six more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award.
I will pass this award to some of my bloggy friends that I find exceedingly charming...

  3. I am so sorry for the loss of your father. When I need comforting I try to spend quality time with my husband and focus on the little everyday pleasures of life. Time at the beach always makes me feel calm and grounded.

    Thank you for your kind words about my blog. It is good to know that what I write is appreciated.

  8. So sorry for your loss.

    Thanks for the award - I will make time to pass this along in the coming weeks. This week is particularly busy one for us, with harvest time and the solar tour next weekend, so my blog time is limited.
