We're Off

My Sweety and I are getting ready to take the grandson's, ages six and nine, on vacation. We watch them two days a week during the summer. They are signed up for classes, taken to movies, and generally kept busy doing things that parents can't do while they are working. This week we are headed for the coast and taking them to Monterey, California. The main purpose is to visit the world famous Monterey Bay Aquarium. We have other things planned and I'm sure I'll have some great pictures and stories to share when we return.

In the meantime I have been given not one, but two awards! All I can say is wow! Carol at Charli and Me has bestowed upon me the Just Plain Fun to Read award. What a great award! The other award comes from Terrie at Terrie's Lil' Piece of Serenity. Terrie has given me the Brilliante Weblog Award. Double wow for this one!! What can I say? I am really "floored" by this one. I have no agenda to be brilliant, or creative, or anything else, really. I just love being able to share, in some small way, my little life and the things and people that surround me.

I'm passing these awards on to all of you bloggers out there that are on my links, that I have visited, and the many blogs I have bookmarked but haven't had the time to link yet. There are hundreds! What would I do without you, dear friends? You make my days a little brighter, you add humor to my life, you give me inspiration and you astound me with your kindness and creativity. I feel so very fortunate to be part of this wonderful blogging community. Thank you so much Carol and Terrie. I'm doubly humbled.

I'll be gone for the next week and I will miss you all.
