These blogs are made for walking, and that's just what I'll do....

Hello friends. Tomorrow I want to post more about "writing craft" (dangling participles for one). But this is Sunday and on Sunday's I like to Blog Walk. But I have to mention:

I received a very nice Kreative Blogger award from Ranch Girl Ramblings and, a few weeks ago, from Cathy, a Humane award. I have been very bad about following the "rules" when I receive an award, but it in no way lessens the joy and appreciation I feel at receiving the awards . . . thank you!

I also want to say thank fellow bloggers David Pereda (author of a book I can’t wait to buy at his signing at Osondu’s next month: Havana Top Secrets) – and Small Footprints (who’s green living tips are important and inspiring)- for supporting me at Malaprops last night. Both have kind and open expressions that match their personalities (she is lovely with a perfect "peaches and cream" complexion I envied, and he is handsome and distinquished); I am glad to know them now “in person.” It is such a delight for me to meet bloggers in person. Katsoup drove hours from her home to my Osondu author's reception and I am still amazed and grateful (she is a beautiful person with life bubbling out of her pores). I met Carol at the Writer's porch recently (and her photos do not do her justice - she's lovely and classy and full of fun-etic energy), and Debbie of Suburb Sanity (Not only is she a pretty woman, she is as intelligent and interesting as her posts are). In the past I've met other bloggers for whom I've enjoyed coming to know. We can't all meet in person, but it sure is fun when we do.

I want you all to know my appreciation is honest and true. I print out your reviews, comments, emails, and put them in my keepsake book. Thank you. My life has become busy and scattered, so if I forget something or someone, or I miss an email from you, please know that it isn't for lack of trying or respect.

I will do some blog walking, and then work on VK2, and then! Today is Roger’s birthday, so I am going to prepare homemade pizza tonight!

Below is Happy Birthday Roger! in WingDings font *laughing:

Happy Birthday Roger!
