I'm touched

Although I always hope that someone out there besides my sister finds this blog interesting/entertaining/helpful as an aid against insomnia, I sometimes wonder. I am delighted that Peggy (who is not related to me in any way, nor has she any affiliation with this blog other than reading its contents) finds it nice enough to award me this:

Otherwise known as the Love Ya Award. With it goes the required publication of these kind words:

“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.”

And here are those to whom I pass the torch (although their closets are quite likely already filled with a dusty array of these awards):

A Crocus in the Valley

A Broader Mark

Totus Tuus Family and Catholic Homeschool

The Flip Side of DandelionEnd

In the Heart of My Home

The Mother Load

Minnesota Mom

Sweetness and Light

By Sun and Candlelight

Fresh Vintage

What all of these ladies' blogs have in common is an unpretentious tone and the ability to make the reader feel welcome in taking a peek into their lives and homes. And I appreciate that!
