What an absolutely lovely surprise I got earlier this week when not one, but two kind writers awarded Notes Along the Way a "One Lovely Blog" award. The honor came from both Pat Stoltey and Marian Allen.
After eight fun but tiring days on the road, traveling from Virginia by way of Pennsylvania through several more states up to Wisconsin then back again by way of the West Virginia route, I was glad to settle back down in front of the computer. It was a really a nice surprise to discover the awards not long after I turned on the computer!
Almost a week after our return I am still struggling through the almost 16,000 e-mails in my Inbox. I've always had a backlog but nothing like this. I suspect many would suggest I go to digest on some of the loops to which I belong, but I don't want to do that--not yet anyway. I just hope I haven't missed something important caught up in the swamp that has overwhelmed me.
In keeping with the One Lovely Blog award, I get to pass this award to the following eight bloggers. Here are their sites:
