I am so excited to announce that Ormond Dinners has nominated my blog for the One Lovely Blog Award. This award is passed between bloggers, who in turn nominate eleven blogs of their choosing who will receive the award.
Choosing the blogs to nominate is difficult. Some blogs have received this award once or twice and others do not wish to receive blog awards at all. Either way, these are blogs that I enjoy and visit frequently and I hope you will visit each of them, too. Each blog has a unique view on food, restaurants, travel and life in general.
The rules for the award are:
1) Link back to the site that nominated you. (Thank you again Ormond Dinners. Be sure to check out the recipes on her site for some unique and yummy recipes.)
2) Write 11 random facts about yourself.
3) Nominate 11 other bloggers.

4) I make the best homemade pizza... family will vouch for me.

Congratulations on your well deserved award. It was so nice for you to include my blog in your list. I really do appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog. Always something new and beautiful from Maine or your travels.
ReplyDeleteI too love Dr Who. (New episodes Sept 1st!!) I almost nominated a couple that you did;) Thanks for sharing your recipes. I think they sound yummy!
ReplyDeleteI just marked Sept 1st on my calendar today and I can't wait! So glad you like the recipes. If you get a chance to try it, the Nutella Bread is amazing.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mary, for passing the award on to me. I apologize for my tardy reply...we had a family emergency which took me away from the blog world for a few days. I have always wanted to live in Maine, too, but my sun loving husband would send me alone, so...
ReplyDeleteMary, Thank you so much for electing weirdcombinations for the award. I have neglected my blogging a little bit over this past month or so as I was super busy while traveling abroad for work. Slowly things are getting back to normal now :)
ReplyDeleteI lived in NYC for several years and at that time I used to drive up to New England around this time of the year just to see the Fall foliage. I think it is one of most incredible and dramatic spectacle that mother nature puts for us. Love it!
Happy birthday to you! Have a wonderful October.
