Humble thanks to The Forester Artist for nominating my blog for the Beautiful Blogger Award. I am blessed with his continued support and friendship He has a wonderful blog about “Creating art on the big canvas and the small ones too.”
It took me a few days to accept the nomination. You see, Tim is family. More on that upcoming in my Nov. 4 post, so stay tuned.
Rules:
1. Thank the person who nominated you
Thank you, Tim.
2. Post the award image to your page (see above)

I met my husband (my best friend) on a blind date 32 years ago.
We have 2 wonderful sons, one of whom, along with his beautiful wife, have blessed us with 3 precious grandchildren.

I love dogs.
I enjoy creating.
I like my eggs fresh, store eggs need not apply. (Same goes for tomatoes.)
I pray.

I chose the following bloggers because of how they inspire me in their recognition of beauty in the world. They may hesitate to accept publicly…believe me, I understand. Whether they accept or not, I want you to meet them, these people who live their gift and thereby bless the world with beauty.

Wow, Mary, thank you so much! Your kind invitation came at the very beginning of a wild week, which kept me from replying right away – but it is no less treasured.
I’ll echo Kim above – your blog truly is beautiful. As is your spirit.
