I am Loved!
Valli, at More than Burnt Toast is one of the blogs that I take time to visit regularly. The list is growing because there are so many blogs that are wonderful but there are a few that I try to get to daily, and comment on at least several times a week.
Valli’s food is….
yum.
She does alot of Greek food and that is a cuisine that I love, but I don;t cook nearly enough. She has inspired me many times over.
She gave me this award:
And I am so very honored.
Blogging is an odd thing. I have to admit that I don’t have much of a life outside of my home..I work at home, I homeschool, I raise a bit of my own food. It may sound odd, but with the exception of 2 or 3 people, the majority of the people I consider friends are bloggers or I know exclusively on the internet.
When Marc got sick last summer not one person from our church (with the exception of a couple that we are close friends with) brought us a meal. Yet friends from the internet sent emails, e cards, real money, and even ordered us pizza. How can that not be “real relationship”?
Anyway..ahem…
So now I want to give this to 5 bloggers. I could give it to so many more! SOme I chose and found that they had all ready gotten the award…so..seriously there could be hundreds listed here!
Courtney from Coco Cooks is an amazing blogger. She is helpful, kind, and always has something awesome on her blog. You see links to her blog everywhere and yet I don;t think she thinks of herself as “an important blogger”.. well she is.I am sure that she must have this award somewhere but I did not see it.
Wendy from Momlady has been a person who emails me, and prays for me, and seems always know what to say to be encouraging. How do you put a price on that?
Inge of course. Vanielje Kitchen is always a must see, as soon as I have enough coffee to remember how to spell it.
Bonita of Streams of Living Water is someone I usually visit from Kettle and Cup.. She has tons of ministry in her to the point that it just splashes out when you read her blog. I enjoy it alot.
Kevin of Closet Cooking has a blog that never fails to make me drool. I have to seriously wipe the computer screen after a visit to his blog. Always my last stop of the evening before turning off the computer.
I am adding two blogs because…
how can you leave out a person who lists ALL yes ALL of your blogs, and encourages you like a cheerleader AND calls you on the phone? Marla is like that. She is also a very cool baker-ista…but she rarely blogs about it.
And Monica. Knitted me a shawl! Is always emailing, and is a great friend who lifts me up in prayer alot. She is a sporadic blogger so I don;t love her for her blog..but for her friendship.

Well I’m not feeling really appreciated at work today, but you have made my day. I know what you mean about the community. Even Certain Someone actually surfed his comments the other day when he guest poted and he finally Got It!
Thanks a bunch.

Marye, you are such a gem to the blogging community! Your blog has actually changed some of our eating patterns and given me new ways to get closer to having everything we eat come out of our own kitchen. Congrats!
I’ll have to look at your other choices, but I second, third, and fourth the choice for Courtney! Yay!

Marye, you’ve touched my heart with this more than you can know.
I’m sorry it took so long for me to get over here and thank you for it. It’s been a rough patch since our little trip, but God’s seeing me through (as He always does).
Thanks for your love and friendship…you’re the best.
