Another Award, Thanks

MRMACRUM at Lost in the Bozone has passed on an award to me and I am very thankful for it. There are times when one hopes to get some award or memento of recognition and when it does come, it's a surprise.

MrMaCrum said he gave this to me for the following reason: "Just cuz he shares a Mainers dislike of strangers in his driveway." This is not a regional thing. One reason I dislike strangers coming up my driveway is that when I see a car coming, I think, "Oh good, a friend is here and we can sit and bullshit and have a cup of coffee." Or tea, one friend no longer drinks coffee, he drinks tea. But when they turn around in the yard and leave, you wonder why they drove in??

This one has rules of engagement. Simple rules thankfully. I am requested to pass it along to four other blogs I feel are deserving of recognition. Simple in the request maybe, but not so simple in the execution.

I have to agree that passing it on is not easy as so many blogs have already received this award. But here goes:

Gadfly and Dan'l at The Future Was Yesterday, not sure what the title of the blog means, but sometimes they make me laugh and sometimes they make me think.

Yellowdog Granny for her Stumbles and general attitude.

Nan at All The Good Names Were Taken, for her insight and humor.

My First Award

Tricia at Menopausal Stoners has given me an award. I would like to thank the academy, and all those that made this possible, you know that's bullshit but it may be the only time in my life that I will be able to say that.

My first award and I have only been blogging for a year. I'm honored to receive the award. Now I have to come up with some other bloggers to give them this award.

Now some of the blogs are new, some are old, some are borrowed, some are blue. Wait a minute, I think that refers to something else. Anywho, here are the rules and my list for the award.

The Bella Rules:
1) Accept the award, post it on your blog together with the name of the person who has granted the award, and his or her blog link.

2) Pass the award to 15 other blogs that you've newly discovered. Remember to contact the bloggers to let them know they have been chosen for this award.
