I have been given two awards and am quite tardy in spreading the thanks and the love..... it is not because I don't appreciate the awards... because believe me!!! I DO!!!! It is just that I've been have a blogging dilemma and wanted to be 'here' for this post......
First.... and I LOVE this award....
AND I love the person who presented it to me.... it came from Janice at Janice's Footsteps
It does not seem to matter what is going on with me she always knows EXACTLY what to say... and I have to say that I truly do believe we are a sisterhood out here in the blogosphere. Personally I don't have any sisters and I love the relationships I have cultivated.... these are people I would not have otherwise met ....
SO... I am suppose to come up with 7 random facts and then pass it along..... PLEASE know that I am passing it on to my 'sistahs' and it is okay if you already got it.... don't want to pass it on.... don't have time to post... this is my way of sharing the love <3
Random facts:
I prefer sunsets to sunrises
I rarely sleep more than 3 hours at a time (not out of choice... mind you!)
I am still called Mommy by two of my children
My house is surrounded by blooming flowers 12 months a year
Muttley is the first dog I've had that lived past 4
I tend to wear baggy clothes ...
I feel awkward at social gatherings
Passing it along:
Leslie at Time out for Mom --- I truly believe Leslie and I are sisters.... with almost everything we do we think alike, react alike and have the same values... and isn't that what a family is?
Hilary at Feeling Beachie --- Hilary and I look alike! We could actually be twins.... (if I was a bit younger... hee hee hee)
Tami at Empty Nest in Il ---- Tami and I have walked the exact same path and somehow both came out smiling....
Jennifer at Just Another Day ---- There is something about having a little sister that you adore.... Jen's mine!
AND speaking of little sister's..... Jen also gave me an award:

ReplyDeleteand of course, so agree with all the "nays"

I concur with the confirmation and the more we discover the more true it is!!!!
DeleteLove back to you ... <3
Thank you Brenda. I agree with so much of what you say & do. You're wonderful. I admire & respect you. Thank you.
ReplyDeletethank you McGuffy!!!!
DeleteThank you for passing the fabulous blog ribbon award to me, Brenda. I enjoyed reading your "five things" lists. I too enjoy a great cup of coffee, and I wish my yard was filled with beautiful flowers, but alas I have the brown thumb! Your blog is one of my "must stop by and see" blogs almost every day.
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha to the brown thumb..... I just put in flowers I can't possibly kill!!!!
DeleteThank you! And I agree with all - of course.
ReplyDeleteThat does not come as a surprise :)
Deleteanother one of my soul sisters!
We were just saying the other day that our Macy is the first dogs both of us had that has made it to 12 so far. It's tough to see her getting older so... I like to wear baggy clothing at night and change as soon as possible before bed so I can relax and breathe! Congrats on the awards, well deserved. Enjoy that precious bundle of joy!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks... and I know what you mean about the dogs getting old.... I wonder if I worry more about her now than when she was a puppy?
DeleteI think once again our hearts flow towards each other ...You are indeed a major role in the Blossom Bunch I just posted about :}
ReplyDeleteThat is so great you still get to be "Mommy" such a great honor for sure. I am so glad our paths met, you truly are a kindred spirit for me.
I completely agree with you.....

Oh Brenda this is so sweet! I've had one of those weeks (I know it's only Tuesday, so far this week has really sucked) and this is just what I needed! Tears!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!
