That was a surprise …

I got up this morning and read my emails to see who had new blog posts – I love looking at the photos, reading the stories and poetry that you people post. So when I find an email that has nominated me for an award, I was stunned. It was Jodi at Jodiambroseblog.com who nominated me, so I would like to say a huge THANK YOU!! to Jodi.
