THE PROXIMITY AWARD



"This blog invests and believes the PROXIMITY - nearness in space, time and relationships! These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers ! Deliver this award to some bloggers who must choose some more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award."

I would love to give this right back to Joan ...... but that would put us back in the sixth grade
"You're the best" "No, you are" "No, You" "Na-a, YOU are"

So in the category of life time achievement awards I have to thank Joan "for the love of a house" and Willow for agreeing to interview me.
*
*
Now I would like to pass this on to a few women who have welcomed me to their worlds as well:
*
Content in a Cottage - Rosemary -for her incredible daily posts. Rosemary has such a wide range of interests - she always amazes me and I am flattered by her interest in me and my church.
*
A Perfect Beginning - Joyce lives not far from me and we are alike in so many ways. She has a loving, gentle perspective on life and I hope someday we will meet.
*
Canyon Wren Cottage - Sandra was the first to recognize my blog and follow it and I found so many of you through her. I have loved her postings about her home and our "real"lives.
*
Paris Atelier - Judith has been such a cheerleader for me....maybe because I told her I think I was French in a past life. She has an amazing grasp on the French - both their culture and history. I am in awe of her intelligence and grace at such a young age.
*
Show Me Vegan - Lisa is so young and bright - she makes me think I'M COOL. Embracing the vegan lifestyle after the big "C" has not been easy - but she always has something wonderful for me to try and keeps me encouraged - without even knowing....SURPRISE!

  1. Mary, this is such a nice surprise! And thank you very much for the kind words. By the way, you ARE cool, how many people are renovating a church for their home? I'm also happy to hear my recipes provide some help with eating vegan.
