I've created this award because
finding comments when I log on does
'Make My Day' ... I know activities
of the season take our time, so these
comments left the last few weeks deserve
special recognition! It's reserved
for YOU who have commented in the
last three weeks. Feel free
to enjoy and pass the gift along
to those who create in you 'a song'

Boy, you've got Christmas on the brain... *snicker snicker*

We matched on magical. :-)

I love how snowy it is at your blog... wondering if you'd share your secret?

Cheers!

I'm a little worried: In response to "chafing," you said serving dish. I said crotch.

I think I'll go make a pot of tea now.

Mike Golch said...

Hey,ARI_1965,I thought of that one but did not post it.

Betty said...

I enjoyed reading your answers to the memes.
