Well, I was very excited to receive a large parcel in the post today, as it meant that my painting from my good bloggy friend Eva, over in Dublin, had arrived! Voila! Here it is. Can't you see how it is just going to bring sunshine into my home, even with the rain still falling outside?!
If you haven't seen Eva's blog yet, do go over and have a look. She is so talented and virtually every day seems to come up with another painting. Her latest one is of The White House in America, and the detail in it is amazing! Thank you Eva - this painting will give me much pleasure as I walk past it every day.
I had a surprise last week, because Jo-Anne gave me an Award, and it is one that I haven't seen before, so thank you Jo-Anne. I was delighted that you thought of me.
Now comes to the hard bit, because I have to pass this Award on to seven fellow Bloggers. I have gone through my blog roll and tried to pass this on to people who I haven't nominated before. If I have given you an Award, and yours is an Award Free zone, then please feel free to just ignore it!
Sush over at First Do No Harm
Shelly at Le Tejana
Pam at Empty Nest
Skippy at I Make Soap (because she really deserves it)
Eva at EM Illustrator
Bouncin' Barb (just because she is awesome!) at This and That As I Bounce Thru Life.
Sandie at Chatty Crone
Believe me, all of the above ladies are more than deserving of a Sisterhood Award!
I also have to tell you seven things about me, but this post is getting rather long, so I will save that for next week, as I don't want you all going to sleep on me here!
See you soon my friends.

Hallo, dear Thisisme! I hope everyone takes time to enlarge Eva's painting. It brings instant joy and pleasure and I know you'll be proud to display it in your home.
I'm so sorry you're having such a rainy summer. Remember what the Beatles sang:
Sitting in an english garden waiting for the sun.
If the sun don't come, you get a tan
From standing in the english rain.
No one deserves blog awards more than you, dear Thisisme, and I am eager to read 7 more new things about you, like the time you walked a tightrope across Niagara Falls... blindfolded... wearing a clown costume... carrying Alfred... and singing "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavor on the Bedpost Overnight." :) Have a wonderful Friday and a safe and happy weekend, dear friend Thisisme!
Dear Diane,
I am delighted to hear that the framed picture finally has arrived, and hope this will help bring some sunshine into your home and heart. Thank you so much for your kind words and also for thinking of me.
congratulations on your award, you definitely deserve it. Have a fantastic Day!
big hugs,
Eva

Thank you my friend, my friend. :) I can't imagine I have seven things left to share with the Tadpoles, but I shall try. :) Can't wait to read yours.
I thought of you often while on vacation. I tried so hard to find a nice postcard to send you but I could NOT find one. Grrr. I guess I will have to draw you one. :D
Love the pics of you, the grandkids and hubby. Oh and Alfred. You guys all looks so hale and happy. Thank you so much for sharing. I enjoyed my smiles.
