Morning Coffee.. Handing Out Lemonade and Awards

I've been so blessed to have such wonderful followers.  I follow so many of you in return if you make comments.  You'll see me bouncing into your blog making comments.  I answer you by email as well when I can.  I feel like I'm getting to know each and every one of you personally.  I love so many of you.  I've laughed at jokes or comments.  I have literally rolled out of my chair on a few.  I have cried when I've read some stories.  I've cried when I've posted a few of mine.  I've raged when you've raged.  I've screamed when you've screamed.  I felt your pain.  I felt your laughter.  I felt your joy.  I've felt blessed by each and every one of you.  LOL I've even shared some with my husband who now thinks most of us are nuts.  What do men know? 

But the point is... every time that I receive an award.. every time.. I feel like I'm being honored by a close friend.  By someone that I respect.  Nothing can be better than that.  Now it takes me a while to get these done because I do try to pick the right people.  I, also, try to never give the same award to someone twice which means new blogs get it.  Yes I do play by the rules.  But its because to me its so very special and my momma taught me to play by rules.  OHHH wait... maybe I'm trying to do that so I can tell my kids I do.  LOL   Ok I'm rambling..On to the awards.



I'd like to thank my lovely friend, Lynn at MiddayEscapades.  She's been a great friend to me.  Though every time I see the name of your blog I think Midday Escape.  I even caught myself typing that several times already.  She is always helping someone.  She posts great stories and advice.  I absolutely love her blog.  Thank you so much Lynn for the Lemonade Stand Award.

The rules are:

Now onward to the rules of this award:


- put the lemonade logo on your blog or within your post. (I've added it to my welcome page, too)
- nominate at least 10 blogs with great attitude or gratitude.
- link the nominees within your post.
- let the nominees know they have received this award by commenting on their blog.
- share the love and link to the person from whom you received this award.

I am pleased to pass on the Lemonade Award to the following 10 (in no particular order) who have given me great attitude and gratitude:

A Nut in a Nutshell
Frugal Mom Knows Best
Headaches, Hormones and Hot Flashes

Please check them all out.  I love all of them.  They are awesome people and I'm sure that you will love them all.




I was surprised when I received the One Lovely Blog Award from Amy @ Crazy Little Thing Called Life.  I didn't realize that she was reading my blog.  I had just found her blog when I left for Florida.  Then never seem to catch up.  I love her blog.  Please check her out.  Thank you so much, Amy.  I truly appreciate it.  The rules for this award are:

I'd like to thank my friend, Nancy at IfEvolutionWorked for the I Love Your Blog Award.  I was so very honored.  I've been reading Nancy's blog for a long time now.  I absolutely love it and adore her.  Please be sure to check it out.  Thanks so much, Nancy, I appreciate this more than I can every express in words.   Now I'm not sure how I'm suppose to give this one out because Nancy did a little story for it.  I thought it was truly amazing.  So I am going to give this to the blogs that I have been reading for a while that I think are truly outstanding.  They are:

This is the sweetest thing ever! It is SO nice of you to recognize so many of your fellow bloggers- truly! I am inspired and a tad jealous since my blog is all whiny and catty and whatnot. I can't thank you enough for the sile today- getting ready to get on a plane with my 4 kids to Disney (more stress than grins probably!) and so this kind thoughtfulness is much welcome today! Thank you for honoring Pajamas and Coffee!
xoxo!
