Sunshine, Real and Lovely

Okay.

I am now officially behind, as usual.

First, I got an award

a few weeks back that (oops forgive me)

I had not yet mentioned....

so without further ado,

Kiernan gave me this award: Thanks lots!

I really enjoy her blog

Fire In Mine Ears

and am so happy that she recently got to be in Europe

for a bit on a holiday!

She also lives and I think hails from the Midwest in

the States, which is where I am from as well.

Of course I moved countries and now live

in a city.

Mysterious are God's ways!

So then today Michelle gave me the award

Keepin' It Real Award

that Mat. Anna made the other day.

Thanks Michelle!

The award is given to those who are a bit honest

about their struggles.

Well, tada, I am so awarded.

I must say I am so blessed to have a blog community

where we care about each other and the other's struggles.

Well,

I love all my blog friends.

How to pick others for awards I find really difficult.

However, I have two that came to mind

and here they are:

Alana is always keeping it real.

Also MamaJuliana.

I have read both blogger's blogs for a few years now I think;

my sense of time is not that good

but I feel that I have really gotten to know both of them

through various challenges and struggles

they have had.

I care about them both a lot and am so glad

that I have met them via their blogs!

Many others I also love, many of them already given

awards.

I am tired though so please forgive me for not

speaking to more of those I love.

Basically if you read this, comment or I know you

via blog via comments or email

then I love you!

:)

So with theme

keepin' it real...

So today was my first book club for the book

the ladder.

Went really well.

Um, but guess who was so excited about SUNSHINE

this afternoon that she went photo-taking

and thus barely had time to make dinner

while on the phone

and then finish reading the 4th chapter

precisely one minute before my first guest came?

Yep, me!

Yeah, and then one of my favourite shots of today

picture wise,

well, here's what I found once it got on my computer

and I could see it 'up close and personal'...

Any one else notice the FLY

front and centre?

Sigh.

I hope for more sun and that I can try for this picture again!

:)

Thanks again everyone ...

Now it is time for sleep and tomorrow

I must finish that cover letter and resume that is taking

way to long...
