WordPress Family

May 13, 2013 By Jodi

Monday Mischief is all me this week.

I’ve been presented with a couple of awards that I haven’t acknowledged. And sadly, I’ve waited so long I can’t remember who gave them to me, and while I usually acknowledge the blogger by thanking them in their comments, I also like to acknowledge them in a blog post. But I can’t do that, because I can’t find the posts.

SO, if you’ve presented me with an award sometime in the last month or two, and I haven’t acknowledged it here on this blog, please accept my sincerest and HEART felt apologies. I promise I’ll try to do better going forward.

That all being said, I was recently presented The WordPress Family Award by JoAnn at Sand Spring Chesapeakes and I’d like to thank JoAnn for honoring me with such an award.

The WordPress Family Award was started by Shaun from Looking for reasoning to a complicated world.

With most awards, there are descriptions and rules.

Award Description:

“This is an award for everyone who is part of the ‘WordPress Family.’ I started this award on the basis that the WordPress family has taken me in, and showed me love and a caring side only WordPress can. The way people take a second to be nice, to answer a question and not make things a competition amazes me here. I know I have been given many awards, but I wanted to leave my own legacy on here by creating my own award, as many have done before. This represents ‘Family’ we never meet, but are there for us as family. It is my honour to start this award.”

Rules:

Display the award logo on your blog.
Link back to the person who nominated you.
Nominate 10 others you see as having an impact on your WordPress experience and family.
Let your 10 family members know you have awarded them.
That is it. Just please pick 10 people who have taken you as a friend, and spread the love.

I’m not fond of having to choose my favorite blogs (II feel like Sophie’s Choice) and as most of my blogging friends appear to have already been nominated, I’ve decided to be more mischievous and not pass the award along, besides I don’t know which of you are on WordPress and which of you aren’t. 😉

Don’t be sad though, I’ll leave you with a lovely photo of Sampson, taken yesterday afternoon as he sat outside in the driveway watching two Golden Retrievers walking up the street.

No mischief here.

This is the Monday Mischief Blog hop, hosted by Alfie’s Blog, Snoopy’s Dog Blog and My Brown Newfies.

BlogPaws

In exactly one week I’ll be on my way to BlogPaws. Here’s the question. Are you going? Have you made arrangements to meet up with your favorite bloggers? I’ve currently been kibitzing online with some of my blog mates I know are attending and making arrangements to meet them.

But I want to make sure I have the opportunity to meet as many of you as possible, so please if you’re going and we haven’t been kibitzing on facebook, leave me a comment so I make certain to add you to my list. 😀 (Unless of course you don’t want to meet me.)

Tracking Spring

Remember my experiment to track spring?

I did miss a few days due to some other obligations but I think I caught a good amount. It’s funny after missing just one day I noticed the difference immediately upon entering the park.

The Daily Dog Blog

Please keep my friend Julie in your thoughts today, her family is going through a really hard time right now.

That’s it for me, remember whatever you do today, live your life with a heart like a dog.

As you know I’ve been tracking spring and really I have a whole bunch of neat pictures to share with you, I just think I need a few more days, but in the meantime I have this really large rhododendron bush in my back yard that I’ve been tracking.
