I received this award from Grace at Rose Cottage Lane. Thanks so much, Grace. The way this award works is that I must now nominate three blogs which are favorites of mine. Gee, I only get to pick three? Think, think, think . . . . Okay, here are three favorites, but it was very difficult to choose. First, Confessions of a Pioneer Woman because she writes one jammin’ blog. She’s becoming quite famous, having been on CNN and in The Daily Oklahoman. She takes wonderful pictures, and her self-deprecating wit is hilarious. Second, I love Tongue in Cheek. Corey is an ex-pat living in the south of France. Her writing is heart felt; she is living an authentic life; and she also takes great pictures, some of which are featured in Victoria’s January/February issue. Yes, Victoria is back!! I’ve sent in my subscription. Have you? Finally, I have to go with All the Dirt on Gardening, co-written by Molly Day and Martha (no last name listed.) This blog is sponsored by The Muskogee Phoenix, so I’m guessing the two authors are columnists for the newspaper. I’m not sure, but I do know that they write factual, interesting articles about gardening in Oklahoma, so I think they deserve the award.
Congratulations to my winners. This award is great because it gives bloggers an opportunity to showcase other great blogs. Thanks again Grace. I’m really glad you like my blog.
Kathryn and Corey, you’re both quite welcome. I read your blogs every time you write something. Such good writing on the internet.
Park Wife, you have an interesting angle being the wife of a park ranger. I always
thought I’d love to live in a state or national park. I’m sure others feel the same way.
Mary, thanks to you too for stopping by. Come again soon.
Congratulations and thank you too!
Hi, Dee,
Congratulations!! Lovely to be acknowledged!
I love the photo of your rose arbor!
Enjoy that new camera!
Kathryn

The Park Wife
Hi there!
Thanks for checking out my blog! I’ll be sure to check back in on yours.
Have fun and good luck with your new camera. I’m sure you’ll love it! I just got my DSLR (Olympus E-500) this past summer and LOVE IT!! Take care 🙂
Ah Martha, I should have figured it out since Molly is a nickname for Martha. Sorry, I saw posts by both entities (or thought I did) so I thought there were two of you. Please don’t stop writing the blog. I get good info about other parts of the state. Your pictures are nice too.
Thank you so much for the praise, the endorsement and the recommendation.
To clear up the authorship: My name is Martha and I write the garden column and blog for the Muskogee Phoenix under the pen name Molly Day.
Your comment means a lot – I was considering stopping after 13-months of writing the blog because I didn’t know if anyone read it!
Goes to show you, doesn’t it?
Every success to you in 2008.
Hey Jessi,
So glad you found me. There are quite a few Okies on the blogsphere. Have you uploaded your blog to BlogOklahoma? It is great and gets you some traffic. It is how I found Rocks in My Dryer and Confessions.
Thanks for coming by . . .
Yeah! Another Oklahoman.
I need to read the paper more. I didn’t know PW was in there. I do good to
read the Ada Evening News about once every 2 weeks.
Just wanted to say hi!
I sure enjoy your website, too! It’s so friendly, and restful, too. Your photographs are awesome!
