Thanks Gaylene for this Award

Thanks Gaylene so much for thinking of me for this award..

What this Award means.. "this seal is given to the blogs which

are very charming,and these blogs' aims are to find friends

no self-promotion. The hope of this award is

that,even when the links are cut,even more friendships are

propogated,Give this award to eight blogs,who in turn

must pass it on to eight more blogs,along with the award

and the rules."

Now I need to pass on to 8 Blogs

I think all the above ladies really deserve this award

so far I couldn't find 8 blogs to pass to so 6 will do

Thanks Myrtle
