As the end of the year approaches, I find that I have been nominated for 6 awards very generously from my fellow bloggers.
I thank you all for the the support and encouragement of the past year. It is very nice to be appreciated.

The Belmont Rooster awarded me this award in early December. Lonnie thank you so much for nominating me, I am much honored.
I follow NO rules, so just my nominees will appear at the end .



Ajaytao has nominated me for a Christmas Bouquet of awards. Thank you so much dear friend…. I AM very grateful.
Cultivate the habit of being grateful
for every good thing that comes to you
and to give thanks continuously.
And because all things have contributed
to your advancement, you should include
all things in your gratitude

Dear Kitty has given me my fourth star and WordPress Family award Thank you so much. You can find all the badges and banners and information you need via this link: ‘Blog of The Year 2013′ Award Badges.

Here is what Shaun, the creator of the WordPress Family Award, had to say about it :
“This is an award for everyone who is part of the “Word Press Family”. I start this award on the basis that the WordPress family has taken me in, and showed me love and a caring side only WordPress can. The way people take a second to be nice, to answer a question and not make things a competition amazes me here. I know I have been given many awards, but I wanted to leave my own legacy on here by creating my own award, as many have done before. This represents “Family” we never meet, but are there for us as family. It is my honour to start this award”.
I do feel that WordPress has given me a new online “Family” and I am proud to nominate the following members of my family for this award.
My nominees are (of course, all nominees like always are free to accept or decline the nomination. In this case, they may also choose any 3 other awards.
