Thank you http://irenewaters19.com/2014/02/13/2nd-and-3rd-awards-versatile-blogger-and-dragon-loyalty-award/ for nominating me. It was very much a surprise.
There are some rules associated with this award which is found at http://versatilebloggeraward.wordpress.com/vba-rules/
You must tell seven things about yourself then nominate 15 bloggers.
It will take me a while to do this but I am willing to take on the challenge. I get lost trying to keep up with reading everyone’s wonderful and inspiring musings and it slows me down a lot. So see my new added page for my progress.
Seasoned 
Award, not aeard. Geez, need to stop typing and get my morning coffee!!!
Thank you so much Sammy D. for giving me such great advice. The comments at that site from everyone definitely helped me. I do not have time, and it sounds like it can get out of hand, so I will not be accepting any more awards either.
Glad that helped you ! It definitley was an eye-opener for me.
I forgot to say daymanti’s aeard post is dated Jan 19, so you’ll have to scroll thru her recrnt posts to find it. Well worth a read!
