Handing Out Awards

Since I was posting the above image today for Wordless Wednesday I thought it might just be the perfect day to acknowledge some awards I was given from some very gracious blogging friends and "Hand Out" some of my own. You see how well that photo up there fits in!
Shelly passed along the You Make Me Smile Award saying I was an inspiration to her and I was just plain nice. That's enough of an award for me and I told her so but I thank her for her generous spirit.
I'm going to pass this along to Debbie and Judi. Debbie leaves me laughing out loud most days and Judi and I read a lot of the same blogs. I love it when she gets to one first so I can read the humorous comments she leaves others.

Shelly also presented me with the Super Commenter Award and then Quilly came right along behind her and bestowed it to me as well. I'm just not a look and go girl. I have to stop, smell the roses, and tell you what I think about them. So, yes, I comment A LOT! I'm passing this to Raven because she is here daily almost as soon as I post and to Fishing Guy who has been a loyal commenter since day one. Then, there's Rose. Rose and I have come to know that we both like the same simple things that make up rural life in America and we tell each other that almost on a daily basis about what we've each posted.

There were no rules with these so take them my friends, put them on your sidebar, pass them along or not, but know I appreciate each of you.

NOT DONE YET!
It seems when blog awards go around they all come at once! Twice this week I was notified of receiving the above award. My friends Fishing Guy and Debbie from NC graciously bestowed this one. I thank you both. I'm not so sure my blog is brilliant; but I do hope it is at least shiny!

This is one of those awards that always comes with rules. I'm breaking the rules and will list for you some blogs I sincerely think really are brilliant. I would not put myself in the same league as these. My blog is what it is and I do thank Fishing Guy and Debbie for the nod to brilliant and will continue to strive toward that endeavor.
The following list are blogs that I believe truly warrent the brilliant label.
For excellence in writing:
For excellence in photography:
I hope the bloggers listed will take the award and post it (if they like ) without feeling the need to pass it along. All of you are indeed an inspiration to me and I wanted most of all to share your sites with others.

Wow! Well, I don't know that I deserve being called brilliant, but I REALLY like it. Thank you. You are very very kind. It's no wonder I love visiting you here each day. Many thanks. I'm blushing.... stammering... scurrying off to feel happy and embarrassed. Thanks.

Raven definitely deserves the Super Commenter post. I was all over the net today visiting lots of new places and everywhere I went, Raven was already there! She's everywhere!

Enjoy your awards. You earned them!

Congratulations!! You deserve all of them. You always seem to come up with something interesting. Even if I don't comment I visit your blog every day if I'm where I can and most of the time I try to leave a comment just so you'll know I've been there.

BTW, I believe my wife took the pictures of the moose on my blog. I was driving at the time.

Carletta,

I am like Abe about the awards, and I "break the rules" and don't pass them on, but nonetheless I do thank you for giving it to me.

You make my day to list me among the excellent photographers.

You are deserving of your awards for sure. I always enjoy my visits to your blog and like how you enjoy sharing what you see and experience on a day to day basis.

Again, thanks so much!

Looking back over the posts I missed while offline I was so surprised to be honored by an award. Thanks so much Carletta - I don't participate in awards or memes so will just acknowledge it here. I sure do thank you for thinking of me though...
Congratulations to you too! :)
