First of all – before I had even one sip of coffee, I went out and grabbed a few shots of the foggy sunrise, so that you see how well they fixed my camera. I realize now that it had not been working real well for awhile, a fact I suspected but kept denying to myself since I didn’t want<\/strong> anything to be wrong with it. It does seem to be fine now though, don’t you think?\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249928647693567554\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Okay – so these aren’t Academy Awards. I get a little carried away sometimes. Seriously, I have received a bunch of awards lately and I am so far behind in acknowledging them. I apologize, because I truly appreciate it when people enjoy my blog. <\/p>\n

Asthmagirl<\/a> gave me this one last month – thanks Diane! [and I know I owe you a tag too – I will get to it in the next couple days]\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5229184969482145122\"<\/a>I am passing this one along to Ashleigh<\/a>, cause I love what she does with her photography, Ruth<\/a>, for her thought provoking posts and Flea<\/a>, cause I love her.<\/p>\n

Kate<\/a> gave me this, and I better credit Riley for his contributions to my blog or he might go into another snit<\/a> on me.\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249926758663012018\"<\/a>This one goes to my sister<\/a> – just go see her blog and you will see that no explanation is necessary. Also to her friend and business partner, C-lee<\/a>, who recently started blogging, and returning the favor to Asthmagirl<\/a> who is hosting some wandering cowz and loves her little doggies, and Sara<\/a>, who has a Riley of her own. <\/p>\n

My daughter Ellyn<\/a> gave me this one and for this, you have to list 6 things that make you happy. \"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249926759827922738\"<\/a>
1. My family is number one – and like all families they usually<\/em><\/strong> make me happy. The rest of the time, they are making me crazy. And if you are part of my family and reading this, I am sure you realize I am talking about everyone else in the family and not you when I mention that crazy part.
2. Larry. Yep – he is part of the family, but he gets his own number just the same. He has been making me happy for the last 34 years and if I am lucky he will keep on doing it for another 34 or so.
3. God – He makes me way happier than I deserve.
4. My camera – huge surprise there. I am not sure what it says about me that I didn’t feel quite ….whole when I didn’t have it – just a thing<\/em> after all, but it’s true.
5. Our front porch. I am never happier than every evening when we sit out there and watch the day draw to a close.
6. Good books. Right now, I am reading “World Without End” which is the sequel to “Ends of the Earth” by Ken Follet – it is just as stunning as the first one.
Passing this one along to these people – not cause of their [forgive me but this drives me nuts] “kreativity”, but because I want to see their happy lists.Mental P<\/a> and Mary<\/a>, Cathy<\/a>, Lori<\/a>, Tara<\/a>, and Tara<\/a> who gives away books! Thanks Tara – they came yesterday! <\/p>\n

Laura<\/a> awarded me this little cutey. I am passing it along to Ness<\/a>, who I think could use a little sunshine in her life about now, after spending the last week at her daughter’s side while she struggles with a serious illness, as well as back to Laura herself who going through some health issues with her Mom. \"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5229183765345236162\"<\/a>
