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.
