I was very surprised to get a message from Mom on the Rise, saying she had nominated me for an award here. I don’t market or promote this blog at all. It’s more like my little scratchpad or scrapbook of geeky and tecchy things I’ve learned along the way, and a place to share cool programs I’ve found. So to get an award here, and a reader as well, I’m surprised! Thank you so much, Mom!
And so I get to pass this along. I wish I had some page rank for this blog, to give you gooogle juice, but page rank for me is about as scarce as Halloween invitations (which is fine with me). You’ll just have to get the honor of knowing you have a cool blog! Here goes:
1. The Foundation Forum. Truly an excellent blog
2. Fida Abbott. A sweet lady with a lovely blog.
3. Northview Diary. A terrific blog and one of my favorites.
4. The Apple Doesn’t Fall Far. Always readable and interesting.
5. Yeah, Right. A great blog, with insightful and meaningful posts.
The rules of this award are:
1. The winner can put the logo on his/her blog.
2. Link the person you received your award from.
3. Nominate at least 7 other blogs.
4. Put links of those blogs on yours.
5. Leave a message on the blogs of the people you’ve nominated
I chose 5 because I like 5. 
Congrats, winners!

Dear Mrs. Mecombers,
You are very lovely person and I am so grateful to know you although just in the blogosphere. You will be in my mind as a lovely Blogger I ever know in USA.
I will post it soon next week.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Regards from PA,
Fida Abbott

Wow, thanks Mrs. Mecomber! And congratulations! I love your blog too. It is very simple, helpful, and resourceful. I have it bookmarked!
I’ll have to come up with a list of people to pass the award on to.

Woohoo! I’ve never gotten an award before. Thanks, Mrs. M! I will give this some thought … but I’m afraid that my list is going to look a lot like yours, with a couple differences. It’ll look like I’m “copying.”
