Congratulations on both awards!
Thanks MariAnne!
I need sunny days too. I’m practically solar powered. The down side is that in the winter, sunny days are often the coldest days.
Winter is tough for me too, especially having to wake up in what seems like the middle of the night 😦
Congratulations! 🙂
Thanks Bluesander!

Tai

Hi! Thank you for the nomination~ Merry Christmas, and have a Happy New Year!!!
You’re welcome!
I hope you enjoyed the holiday season!
PhotoP, congratulations on these two well-deserved awards, from what I have seen after just finding your blog. If you love chocolate (chocky), you MUST meet Martin Shone over at http://agapintheclouds,wordpress.com. Also, you will miss a lot of his chocky humor if you do not follow him in Twitter. He wakes me up(he is in London, I in NW Alabama,USA) laughing with his chocky goofiness that also happens to reveal a lot of truth about all of us folk here on Planet Earth. Thank you for starting to follow my own blog!
Thanks granbee!
I appreciate you following me and your support!
Thanks also for the recommendation. I jumped over to Martin’s site and read a few pieces. He definitely has some interesting work posted.
