With many thanks to Alyson of the Thought Palette, I have been given the Awesome Blog Content award. It is really exciting to receive a blogging award, so thank you very much!
To find out more about the idea behind the ABC award, go to Alyson’s delightful, informative blog the Thought Palette. You will be entertained and inspired when you do! And you should also have a look at her blog about her life in Portugal, the Algarve Blog.
As part of accepting this award:
Add the ABC award logo to your blog; share something about yourself, such as your interests and places you like using the letters of the alphabet; then pass the award on to other bloggers.
Here’s my list of things about myself in alphabetical order:
| A adventures | B books |
| C castles | D desserts |
| E energetic | F France |
| G gelato | H holidays |
| I Italy | J journeys |
| K keepsakes | L Lexington |
| M Milan | N New Orleans |
| O Oxford | P plucky |
| Q questions | R reminisce |
| S souvenirs | T traveler |
| U University of Michigan | V Versailles |
| W Williamsburg | X exuberant |
| Y York | Z Zermatt |
And now I would like to pass this award on to some blogs that I enjoy:
Enjoy the award everyone, and thank you again Alyson!

Thank you Meg, It’s very much appreciated. It will take me awhile to figure out how to do it as I always have trouble figuring out where to put the information to show on my blog.
I will wait till I am not being asked questions by my ever so curious grandson, no cartoons are blasting in my ears or I’m not chasing after the four dogs. Once again thank you and I will be sure to pass it on.
Thank you for such a nice compliment.

Hi Meg, it’s me again the all thumbs with computers person. May I just say thank you for giving me the award and leave it at that. I tried but could not figure out how to do it. My past experience with Word Press has led me to many frustrating hours with no results and i just can’t deal with it again. Time constraints make it hard to even get my blog done.
So as much as I appreciate it, may I just say it was very thoughtful of you to think of me and I look forward to reading more of your post.

Hi, I’m hopelessly behind in all things blogging lately but I just wanted to pop over and say thanks for passing along this award! I particularly like your choices of “Zermatt” which is one of the most astoundingly lovely places I’ve ever visited and “gelato” which I have fond memories of enjoying in Reggio Emilia, Italy (over 10 years ago!) – if I remember my favorite flavor was pistachio.
