I was delighted and surprised to receive a nomination for a Very Inspiring Blog Award from P.C. Zick. I enjoy reading her blog as we have similar interests.

Here are the requirements for this award:
1) Display the award logo on your blog.
2) Link back to the person who nominated you.
3) State 7 things about yourself.
4) Nominate 15 other bloggers for this award and link to them.
5) Notify those bloggers of the nomination and the award’s requirements.
Seven things about myself
1. I used to take flying lessons. I have 27 1/2 flight hours logged in a Cessna.
2. I have a strong belief in the healing powers of exercise.
3. The more butter I slather on bread, the better it tastes.
4. I was in the color guard in junior high school.
5. Housework is for the birds.
6. I like to sing.
7. I’m a good listener.
My nominations for the Very Inspiring Blog Award –This is going to be a challenge because I’m still new here but I have come across some very worthy blogs. I like some of them for their writing style or their photographs. I like some because their interests are very different from mine and I want to learn more from them. I like some because we have a lot in common and I can relate, and I like some because I admire their creativity. There is one who is an employer and writes an employee blog. It’s very notable. He may not accept my nomination but you win some, you lose some. Nothing ventured, nothing gained I always say.

Congratulations on your nomination and thank you very much for nominating my blog. I am very honored and surprised! This is my first award! I enjoy reading your blog too, and find it inspiring as well!
oops…sigh….
congratulations on winning this award for your blog…i love reading all your information.
LOL. Thank you. And to you too! I’m glad you enjoy reading my blog. That means more to me than the award.
I see it now
(wish there was a “blushing” smilie!)
Thanks so much. You caught me by surprise with this as I am just beginning here on WP and blogger is a million miles from my mind… however I will give it some thought and choose as many as I know about. and again, thanks for honoring my blog with this award. xo
Linda, I’m new too! I knew nothing about these awards except that I saw that some people had them. It’s been fun receiving but more fun nominating. You deserve it.
If anyone doesn’t know how to set up their award, let me know and I will help you figure it out.
Thanks very much, Marcella. I’m touched! I am pleased you appreciate my blog and I look forward to reading the blogs you have nominated which I am not already in touch with.
I like your approach to housework.
Congratulations! And thank you for nominating me for this award,it is an honor.
Congratulations to you! How very exciting. And I thank you for nominating me. I am so touched.
Congratulations on a well-deserved blog. I agree about housework, but the birds won’t come inside and vacuum!
Thanks, P.C. Heehee, sometimes it seems like they want to come inside though. One nearly crashed through my glass storm door. We stood there looking at each other for 30 seconds. The poor thing was so stunned. There is definitely more nature adventure living in a house than there is in an apartment!
