Back from the Beach and Feeling the Love

We had a fantastic weekend in Ventnor with some great friends. We spent the weekend eating lots of barbequed goodies, splashing in the waves, and playing some really fun games. The girls created "habitats" in beach buckets today. They both picked up tiny clams and enjoyed watching them burrow back into the sand. I even found a hermit crab for them that didn’t do a whole lot, but they loved it anyway. When all was said and done, we put the little creatures back on the beach, packed up, and drove home.

We made a brief stop on the way home and were very pleased to see that our siding is going up on the house. My parents stopped by over the weekend and said the guy was working all day Saturday. He got a lot done. By the end of this week, we may actually have a house that’s not green with rain guard wrap.

Usually when I go away on a little vacation, something bad happens. People write mean things about me on their websites or my cat starts barfing a lot. Tonight I came home to this award from one of my favorite bloggers, Karl.

So a special "thank you" goes out to Karl (who would obviously be on my list if he hadn’t already won the award). Here are the rules of the award:

  • The winner can put the logo on his/her blog.
  • Link the person who awarded you.
  • Nominate at least seven other blogs.
  • Put links to those blogs on your own blog.
  • Leave a message on the blogs you’ve nominated.

Here goes, in no particular order, and this is in no way a complete list of blogs I love:

Renovation Girl

Adam’s Cerebral Spillage

Ikigaiway

Martial Views

Sizzle Says

Iron Fist

Blogography

I hope this award helps all of you start your week off with a smile.

    2. I could make a show of trying to be humble and saying how unworthy I am to win such an award… but I just can’t do it. I so totally deserve this! How could you NOT love my blog? I am so awesomely great… thanks for noticing!

    5. BBM, You’re my all time favorite blogger and I’ve read quite a few. I’m glad you had a wonderful weekend because if you were watching your fantasy team, you wouldn’t be very happy. Sorry about Grant, I thought he’d do better.

    6. Since we seem to be doing this sort of thing, I should let you know I nominated you for a Brilliante award.

    8. Dave2: Nice and humble, that’s how I like my bloggers.
    Sizzle: No problem. You deserve it!
    Ikigai: How I wish. . . Sadly, no.
    Chris: Thanks! That’s very sweet of you. I knew there was a catch with Ryan Grant. It was way too good to be true. The way I see it, I have four players left and only 74 points to get. I’m golden. . . not.
    PB: Thanks! You’re so sweet!
    Avitable: You already got some love from Karl. I’m trying to spread it around a bit. 😉
