You Make My Day Award

Thank you so much, Adrienne, at With a Grateful Heart for giving me this award, I'm honored! It pleases me that I can make someone's day with what I post about on my blog. Adrienne and I have become somewhat kindred spirits because we have so much in common. She also loves yellow roses, and she collects yellow depression glass! We're hoping to meet each other some day. Right now we are pretty far apart, she's in Oregon and I'm in Florida!

I have recently acquired a lot of new friends reading and commenting on my blog daily. You all don't know it, but you are an answer to a prayer, and a gift of the Lord to me. You see, I was going to stop blogging, I felt no one really cared about my blog, I didn't have very many, if any, comments and I don't have a stat counter so I had no way of knowing how many, if any, people were visiting. Of the blogs I was reading they would have so many comments, some had 60 or more! I knew a few of my internet friends were reading, but they weren't leaving comments. I don't like one-way conversations, as I'm really a listener, more than a talker. I like two-way conversations with feedback when I talk and I felt with no comments, people weren't really interested, or were more interested in other blogs than mine.

I started my blog January 21, 2006 and felt I had just about run the gamut of posting photos of our home. I decided that on my two year blog anniversary I would stop blogging. I prayed that if I was supposed to continue, the Lord would send me blog friends! All of a sudden, lately I've had so many new friends come forward and make themselves known! PTL!

I want to thank all of you for your encouragement and for your loyalty of reading often, some daily. Thank you for letting me know you are stopping by! You all have truly made my day, every day!

I have received a few other other awards, another "You Make My Day" from Alice at Tea in my Cup, she is another kindred spirit friend because of our love of tea, and tea parties!

Some of you have tagged me, and I consider that an honor as well, as it shows me you want to hear about me on a meme, or another way. I haven't been keeping the awards on display as some do, maybe I should start. One of the things about me that I'll have to be honest about is that I am technically challenged! I don't know how to do very much fancy stuff on my blog. That's why I don't have all the bells and whistles on the blog, not because I don't like them, but because I don't know how to do it!! When my grandson came to visit, he helped me a little, but he is in college and doesn't get to come often.

Thanks for allowing the Lord to use you to answer my prayer!

I want to pass this award along to Becky at The Butler's Wife. I think she may be new to some of you and I want you to meet her. Becky can always make me laugh, she has a sense of humor I can relate to. She is a Christian (I think all my favorite blog friends are!) She also does beautiful knitting and quilting, and has the best chocolate cookie recipe around! Thanks, Becky for making my day!

P.S. - I'm still working on the centerpiece! I forgot I have a meeting tonight, and will be using the table for a Creative Memories workshop (without a centerpiece!) I will be online later, hopefully with a new photo of a centerpiece!
