I was blessed with 2 great awards this week. The first one came from Mary of Mary's Treasured Memories. It's the Sisterhood award. Isn't that fitting since we gain so many great sisters (and a few brothers) and friends through blogging. Thanks Mary - you have been a great friend and it was so nice of you to pass this on!
The second award I got was this Lovely blogger award. This one came from Brenda of the Adventures of the Yonker Family and from Diane of My Journeys Path. I love this picture and the wording because it reminds me of my church. The name of my church is Lighthouse Community Church. Brenda and Diane just happen to be friends of mine from church! Thanks to both of you - I'm blessed to know you in real life and through the blogging world.
Of course I am supposed to pass these on, but I almost always rebel at this point. It is just too hard to pick people out, when there are so many wonderful bloggers. So - if you are reading this - these awards are yours! (With one exception - Mike, you only get the Lighthouse one. I don't think you qualify for the sisterhood award!)
Thanks for the awards, Mari! I feel honored! hehe!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the "tag" picture you used of the tigers - that is beautiful!
Two wonderful awards. Congratulations Mari.

Mari,
ReplyDeleteThe awards are beautiful and you are very deserving. Thanks for passing them on to us.
It is really cold here. I couldn't believe how fast the temperature fell and with the biting wind, it makes it even worse. I'm hoping for an early spring. Ha!
Blessings for a great weekend.
Mary

To answer your question-I am a social worker. I actually worked in nursing homes for 11 years so I can relate to your experiences. For the past 5 years, I've been doing home care. I was laid off in September but am working for two agenices per diem right now.
ReplyDeleteI gladly accept the lighthouse award,and no I do not qualify for the sisterhood award.unless I would have a sez change,and that's not going to happen.
