My good bloogy friend, Nikowa, at Knowledge House Academy has awarded my blog with the Brillante Weblog Award.

Ain't it purty????

Since I'm visiting so many blogs, I decided to nominate a handful of my favorites. So if you're not on the list, please don't get upset. I could only nominate 5. I promise I'm still visiting your blog. So without further ado...

1. 365 Days in the Moonshine Capitol of the World
2. An Island Life
3. Blessings from Abiga
4. Mommy Cracked
5. My Three Boys and I

If you wish to pass it on, here's how it works:

Put the logo on your blog.
Add a link to the person who awarded you.
Nominate at least five other blogs.
Add links to those blogs on your blog.
Leave a message for your nominee on their blog.

I have a dear, dear, dear friend who I met when I first started homeschooling. Though we have some very different political and religious views, we enjoy one another's company and she has taught me all I know about Ebay. She is smart, funny, and a treasure trove of knowledge. I have mentioned to her about blogging before, but she has never given it a whirl. Well, there is a list that she is on and one of the gals decided to start up a blog called 365 days in Islip. Everyday, she posts something about her area of the world. After some other of my friends list buddies pressured her, my friend, Carole decided to give it a whirl. Her blog is called 365 Days in The Moonshine Capitol of the World. At the bottom of her blog, you can link to others who are jumping on this band wagon. It looks like a lot of fun and I can assure you that you will enjoy reading Carole's witty posts!

She invited me to join in the fun, but I just can't imagine running another blog, this one keeps me busy enough. But I may try to do a weekly post about where I live once I return to Virginia.

Anyway, this is a great way to get a birdseye view of other parts of the world. So go check out 365 Days in The Moonshine Capitol of the World and other similar blogs. (Cause I know you don't already have enough blogs to read!)

A friend of mine just sent me an email about a wonderful program by a company Jeld-Wen Windows and Doors. This company chooses one lighthouse a year to restore its windows and doors. The lighthouse is chosen by popular vote. And you can vote for the lighthouse of your choice by visiting this website. BTW, you can vote, even if you are not in the U.S.

I am not going to tell you which lighthouse I voted for because I don't want to influence your opinion, but I will tell you it was a tough choice. I was drawn to some lighthouses for their architectural properties, to other lighthouses for the support they were receiving from their community, and other lighthouses for their history.
Take your time, look at the lighthouses and read their story.

I was visiting my buddy, Nikowa, at Knowledge House Academy and saw an amazing post she had titled God's Pharmacy. If you needed another reason to add more fruits and veggies to your diet, go check it out. It's a great post!

The last few weeks have been very busy. I have managed to keep up with my blogging and responding to comments, but I haven't had anytime to go and visit my favorite blogs. So if you have been missing my witty comments, I hope to be back with you soon.

We have just gone from one thing to another recently. Daniel's birthday, 4-H field trip, end of the year piano competitions, trying to finish up an afghan I made before heading off to Illinois next week. Getting things lined up to head out to Illinois next week. Finishing up the kids homeschooling yesterday. A youth yard sale. Mother's Day. And then every day life.

The more I visit around on the Internet, the more people I find that I enjoy reading their blogs. But my sidebar is getting out of control. So I am going to move my blog roll here to it's own little entry and I am going to link to this post from my sidebar just as soon as I make a fun button!

These are all blogs that I visit at on a pretty regular basis there is good stuff in them. If you are looking for more blogs to visit and new people to meet, this is a great place to start! Have fun!
