I am very excited to announce that I have received my first-ever blogging award. I am extremely encouraged and excited about this and I appreciate cheeni thoughts for being so kind and nominating me! I’m not sure I know exactly how to meet all of the requirements for receiving this award since it requires a bit of “tech-savy” and I am seriously lacking in that department. I shall do my best.
First, I am supposed to announce the award and post the badge.
Done.
Now, I am supposed to write seven interesting things about myself. (This is the easy, non-technical part.) Here goes:
1. I am a long-time lover of baseball, the world’s greatest sport.
2. It is my ambition to someday breed a miniature basset hound.
3. I once shook hands with Ronald Reagan.
4. I believe that C.S. Lewis was the greatest writer and most brilliant mind ever, period.
5. I have been to Italy six times and my favorite place in the world is San Gimignano in Tuscany.
6. I am terrified of amusement park rides.
7. I love black olives, especially on pizza.
Lastly, I must nominate fifteen other bloggers who inspire me. Even though I have been blogging for more than three years, I have only recently discovered how to tag posts. (See above reference to my technological abilities.) I have learned that tagging posts leads to meeting other bloggers. I don’t have as much time to spend on my blogging as I would like, but I have read lots of interesting posts and “met” some really great people. I’m meeting a few more each week and slowly expanding my online community. There’s so much to learn and there are many interesting people to get to know through their writing. I have been blessed! Here are my nominees. I know that some of you have probably received this award before, but the truth is that you have all inspired and encouraged me and I want you to know. Thanks!

Well, thanks. After you publish a post you should have an opportunity to “tag” it on the left side of the page after your post publishes. Tag with words and short phrases that describe what is in your post. People search tags and find you that way. Margie thanks you, too.
