Isn't it wonderful when you need a bit of cheering up and someone very sweet, serendipitously thinks of you?! Darling LV, of Thoughts from Meme's Corner, gave me the Trendy Blog Award. How dear and fun is that?! I met LV through Vintage Thingie Thursday and she's a sweetie!
Thank you so much LV for thinking of me! :)
Upon receipt of the award, one is to post about the award and choose ten bloggers to in turn, give the award to.
And the greatest thing about this one is that you don't have to talk about yourself. Hurray hurrah! That's my kind of award.
Here's my ten, dear blogging friends, in alphabetical order ... Trendy Bloggers all!
Elizabeth @ Creative Breathing
Ellie @ Ella's Edge
Jenny @ Pleasant Places
Kate @ The Garden Bell
Leslie @ Brookhollow Lane
Lori @ Run Lori Run
Pam @ Yoborobo
Stephanie @ Old World Primitives
Twyla and Lindsey @ Two Crazy Crafters
Valerie @ Une Gamine Dans La Cuisine
And ...
Look who came for lunch! Can you see the squirrel eating out of my bird feeder? I was in the kitchen making my lunch and I turned around to see this fellow having lunch ... upside down. I grabbed my iPhone and took pics. Too funny, he'd grab birdseed and then pull back from the feeder and hang by his feet, eating birdseed!
Hello Dear Sally....congrats on your "trendy" award and THANK YOU SOOOO much for the shout out. That is so encouraging. I feel like a goof, but I thought "Awww, we are friends!" when I saw my name on the list. And I certainly appreciate that even more than the award, but the award is quite nice. I have already tried to post a comment 2 times before but I have been having posting issues. I wanted to say of course I am praying about your father-in-law and totally understand what you mean about the phone ring at odd hours. There have been some humdingers here lately. I pray peace and healing for him and all the family. It is so hard when you are farther way. Thank you again dear friend for the award and sharing the fun of your critter at the feeder..too funny.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the award Sal. And many thanks for passing it along and stopping by to visit often.
ReplyDeleteI swear that's the squirrel that got my feeder last night. Pounds of seed on the ground.
Your words are always encourging to me.
Off to add my new award to my side bar....
Yipeeeee.
Toodles,
Kate
Hi Jenny!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the congrats and you're very welcome! And thank you for your sweet words and I'm very touched by them. (Blogger seems to be going bonkers lately. I've had problems with posting too. ARGH!)
Thank you so much for your prayers and good thoughts for my father-in-law, I so appreciate them and you!
Happy week to you!
Sally
Hi Kate!
ReplyDeleteThank you! And you're very welcome! Your blog always makes me smile.
Hah! 'Spose that squirrel hops on the red eye and hits your feeder and then takes the morning flight back to my house? ;)
Toodle oooo,
Sally
Hi Sally! I am so very sorry to hear about your FIL. Any word yet on how he is doing? Waiting is the worst. Love and prayers to you guys.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU for the award. I am very flattered you would think of me. :) xox!
PS Love your squirrel. He is so cute, and that is a beautiful bird feeder!
Congrats Sally!!! Thanks for thinking of me; I love your squirrel photos, you captured the furry thief in action! I love the reward, I will put it on my blog tomorrow. Now, I am thinking who to pass it to! Thanks for the shout you~ (((HUGS)))
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I'm a fan of the straight forward rewards too. :) Thank you for passing it on to me, and for sharing the adorable squirrel pictures. He reminds me of Scrat from the Ice Age movies.
ReplyDeleteSally, thank you so much for passing this award on to us. We appreciate it. Congratulations on receiving it yourself. Your blog is wonderful and I always love the way you share so many wonderful links. Have a wonderful week! Twyla
ReplyDeleteHi Pam!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your care, concern and prayers! We heard last night that he was to have surgery early this morning ... but then we received a call this morning that his blood wasn't thin enough, so the surgery is rescheduled for tomorrow (Thursday). The waiting is torture. And I'm a Nervous Nellie anyway and I'm about bananas at this point.
You silly noodle, of course I thought of you! Did you get a big chuckle out of my bestowing an award??? Lots of irony in that, huh?!
Happy Wednesday!
Sally xoxoxo
Hi Ellie!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the congrats and you're very welcome! You're a sweetie and I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
I'm so loving following your bird-in-the-boots tale, so much fun!
Happy Wednesday!
Sally
Hi Valerie!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the congrats! Truth be told, I heaved a big sigh of relief when I saw that the award was short and sweet (like "hey, I notice you and think you're swell" teehee).
Yes, absolutely, those long toesies - now I'm thinking of Ice Age! :)
Happy Wednesday!
Sally
Hi Twyla!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the congrats! ACK! I'm such a nincompoop - I feel horrible not including Lindsey's name. I will correct that now. Please forgive me, my brain left me momentarily. I was thinking of who consistently posts on my blog and dear you, Twyla, were the first "vocal" follower of mine. Thank you so much for always being such a sweetie and noticing me. :)
Happy Wednesday!
Sally
Hi Sally,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the award! I am all smiles. :)
I very sorry to hear about your FIL though... I will be hoping for you to get some good news very soon. And perhaps for your adorable lunch guest to join you again today for some cheering up. :)

Hi Stephanie!
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome!
Hah! You should have seen the squirrel, hanging upside down by his skinny toes, munching away on the birdseed. So funny! And my Retriever kept going out and barking "Hello you! I'm the resident dog here. Woof woof!" and was plumb (or is that plum?!) tuckered out! The squirrel would scurry across the block wall, over to the garage roof and then leap in the air over to our olive tree. And then they'd begin the dance all over again.
You're a sweetheart, thank you so much for your kind words for FIL!
Happy Wednesday!
Sally
What precious precious pics. I love it. Ellie sent me to see you and I'm so happy about it.

ReplyDeleteHi Marsha!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry, I'm just seeing your comment! Glad you enjoyed my lunch guest. ;)
Happy Holiday weekend to you,
Sally
Hi Lori!
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome! I wrote to Pam that this is the supreme irony, I, the award resister, am giving out awards. ;)
Happy happy holiday weekend!
Sally
I have between 6-8 squirrels that do the same things at my feeders. They are pretty amazing. I only have one squirrel proof one!
