So I Won this Award

I was nominated by our good friend Anne Marie over at From My Brain to My Mouth. She does a fun weekly posting, supplemented with how she is really feeling and leaves the best comments - you want Anne Marie to read your blog and leave comments (no trolls here.)  Thank you Anne Marie!  

This award is kind of a pyramid scheme. 

I will stretch the second rule - let me know if you want to be nominated - I suspect many of our mutual friends have already be tapped, but I will suggest:
