Ah, Hyacinth. She’d know what to do, but instead you have me, so no hand-written thank you note or letter-press card. Instead, buckets of thank you-s.
First off, thank you to Caitlin of Cursewords and Crinolines for nominating me for A Very Inspiring Blogger Award. And, um, newsflash, thanks to The Choll at Thread-Headed Snippet as well for a second nomination. Motion carried in a bucket. And wait, I’ve really been slow, so thanks are also due to Laura at An American Seamstress for a nomination.
This means a lot to me. I am not one for mush, though oatmeal is a fine default meal substance, and one of my favorite historical quotes is from a long-forgotten pioneer narrative, said by an elderly mother when her daughter got married [I think to a Mormon]: Now we’ll get our gruel reg’lar. My mother and I have said this to each other for decades, and she may have said it to me when I told her I was engaged. We may have laughed like maniacs.
More bucket love. The kettles are nice, too.
But I really enjoy writing this blog, reading your comments, and learning. It makes my day when a reader gets an answer, a new idea, or sees that they’re not alone. And let’s just say y’all help me get through some less-than-silken fantastic days, and I learn a lot along the way. You make me a better blogger, so thanks to You, Gentle Readers, too!
This is all so late now that what I’m going to do is say Thank You Very Much Indeed instead of carrying on the round robin of blog nominations.
Here are five blogs I enjoy checking in on. Perhaps you will enjoy them, too.
