Reason #1 why I blog...

I blog because... from my own home...I can visit you in yours through your blog... or if you don't blog...then through your comments to me. I can see through your words and photos portions of your world, dreams and passions. I get to see small snippets of your culture which also excites me. And it thrills me when you all comment. So Reason #1 that I blog is to get to know you.

Last week I was given my first Blog award The Lemonade Award and I am THRILLED! Thank you, Tugce, for passing it onto me.

Here are my nominees for bloggers that have great attitude and show gratitude (it's just 12).

Musings from Fairlight Farm (My sister- her farm)
South Through Barefoot Pass (My dad- artist, woodcarver, writer-where I get my love of writing)
Life at Number 10 (About renovating, decorating, sewing and other wonderful things.)
White Dove (About memories, reading, family and day to day life)
Mystery Writing is Murder (She was the first writer blog I visited. She is a brilliant writer of mystery- my favorite genre)
It's a Mystery (She is also a brilliant writer)
Whole Latte Life (Another writer- whose words are as smooth as butter -without the cholesterol or fat)
Terri Tiffany Inspirational Writing (This girl shows her faith in her writing. She is also a published writer.)
Writings from Blackberry Hill (This girl is funny. I enjoy reading her blog. You need to read her chicken antics, if you haven't already.)
Tossing it Out (Another writer. I like his blog!)
At the Farm (Ok I love farms. She posts beautiful photos. You need to go see the posts about the white deer that frequents her farm.)
The Writers Porch (She writes, shows photos - just a very pleasant blog)

There are others, but I must stop somewhere. Let me say that if my daughter were still blogging on her frugal blog -she would be number 1. But since she started her new position, she is too busy to blog.

There are two other blogs that I stop in on - Judy Sheldon Walker and Yagmur but they were given the award too by Tugce.

Dear Nominees: If you wish to pass this award onto your favorite bloggers, then do the following:

1. Put the lemonade logo on your blog or within your post.
2. Nominate at least 10 blogs with great attitude or gratitude. (List them on your blog)
3. Link the nominees within your post.
4. Let the nominees know they have received this award by commenting on their blog.
5. Share the love and link to the person from whom you received this award.
