And the Friendship Award Goes to.....


I received a Friendship Award that originated from Chuck at Foster Me Up. This lovely award was presented to me by Jen at Dust Bunny Hostage. I am humbly honored. Jen is one blogger that I love to visit. I always find inspiration in her post, there is always laughter and there is always a attitude in Christan fellowship-even in how she approaches some situations or people that make it difficult, she is a constant positive and inspiration. I appreciate that in her. In all, She's a friend.
You all know the routine, I am to pass this award onto some other lovely ladies....and I am doing so in the spirit of Jen and her qualities mentioned above. I may get carried away with this award...but each one of these ladies below, is honesty deserving of this highly acclaimed hardware. Each posses the same spirit and attitude as Jen. And really, ya'll....Is there any better thing to be considered a "fran"? I don't think so.
Jen, I thank you for my award! I treasure it!
Jen gave this one out to lady friends. I think it is gender biased award? But if so...who is Chuck?
Anyway...The following ladies also share the qualities of my friend Jen and her spirit for life. Each lady listed below deserves this award.
Claim it, post it and Wear it proudly ladies:

Leigh, thank you so much for your kind words. First of all receiving it from Mimi was a joy! She truly is a Queen in all of Blogland. Then to have such sweet words spoken about me by you.

I say all of this because things have been.... hard lately. I HAVE to keep my chin up in Blogland. Because that is who I am, my PLACE in Blogland if you will. But the kindness of fellow bloggers has blessed me and taken the edge off of real life. Made it possible to be 'myself'. And GOD knew that I needed that support and used people like you to provide it. The sun is out now, my worries evaporated. And the warmth of friendship remains!

Love you girl!!!

Jen

Hey, Leigh, wasn't that some rain we had the last 2 days?! Man, it was howling here last night. Glad it's over now, but the rain sure was nice.

Thanks SO much for this new award. I'll add it to my mantel of awards at the bottom of my blog & give you the gratitude. You're a sweetheart!

Blogger fest - Leigh and Charnita voted initial organizers with other bloggers helping as plan is formed. Couple of months when it gets cooler? A park?

A certain Dust Bunny Hostage would like time to lose some weight :( and would also like to be included - A little birdie told me. I shall name no names though.
