With gratitude...

...to Carmon of Life at Star's Rest, I humbly accept this pretty and colorful award:

I'll share it with:

Helen, of A Little of This-n-That, who has impressed me tremendously with her courage and good humor in the face of a serious illness.

Alison, of Inspired Work of Self-Indulgence. Hers was the first blog I ever read. I'm grateful to her for the inspiration and for a consistently good reading experience.

Val, of Golden to Silver Val. I've only discovered Val recently, but I already appreciate her wit and her writing skills.

Ladies, pass it on if you wish.
