Thank you! Thank you! You like me, you really like me!

The wonderful Francine In Retirement  nominated me for 2012 Blog of The Year Award!  I am moved and honored!  Really I’ve not been blogging in earnest a full year and to receive such recognition is flattering.  Thank you, thank you.  Now I know how Sally Field felt receiving her Oscar.

In receiving this nomination I’d like to nominate a few blogs that I enjoy.  They can go here to pick up badges and here for FAQs.

I’d like to give a nod to Diatribes and Ovations  I enjoy the blog very much.  It’s fun.  It’s honest.  It makes you think.  For me that’s a lot of bang for your buck in a blog!

I’d also give a nod to Sunshine Factor.  She always gives me a smile with her posts.  They are heartfelt and down to earth stories or ruminations.  I can relate to what Debb writes.  It’s an enjoyable blog with a positive outlook.

Bo Lumpkin’s I’ve Been Thinkin’  blog takes me back home every time I read it.  It’s good ole thinkin’ an’ drawin’ too.  The humor is right with the Blue Collar Tour type and so true it’s even funnier.  I can relate to his geezerhood comics more now as a geezer than as grandchild of one.  LOL!

Also a nod to  How The Cookie Crumbles and her wonderful posts.  I enjoy her flash in the pan fiction.  She’s excellent at setting scenes in just a few words.   She completed NaNoWriMo this year!  Also I love her admitted irreverent look at life!

Finally I nominate the lovely lady who blessed me with a nomination – Francine!  Her photos are always moving.  She’s always up beat!  Be sure to check out her blog and enjoy the eye of an excellent photographer with a love of life.

My nominations can pick up their badges and share the love!  Until next time!
