AWARD CEREMONY!!

Imagine yourselves at Tony's pizza parlor, a mom&pop family restaurant in Vienna VA, where my softball team used to pass out it's yearly awards. The tables have greasy red-checked vinyl table cloths, candles in cut glass jars and those little shakers of parmesean and red pepper flakes.

I have a carboard box on the table next to me as I address you. I reach in and hold up this:

the "One Lovely Blog Award"

On June 7th, Gracie Motley (aka @gracecrone) of Crone's Cauldron Publications awarded me the "One Lovely Blog" award and now it's my turn to THANK HER VERY MUCH for giving me such laurels and to pass on the award to 15 lucky people.
