Am I Quirky and Offbeat over Here? I hope so!


Here's an award I got from amazing blogger Patrick Tillett.

I love this award and how Patrick explains it: "The "White Russian" Award is for my favorite blogs. I'm sure it's no coincidence that they all have something unusual about them, are a bit quirky, or totally offbeat, and I like them as folks. Some of them are mega-popular and some are undiscovered."

I love it that he thinks my blog here is unusual, a bit quirky or totally offbeat. I could say the same about his. If you haven't been there, please go because it is a treat. Pat should be writing a memoir. Whether he ever does or not, at least he's blogging and we can all enjoy his posts and his photography.

Thanks, Pat, for this award. And since there are no rules to pass it on, I won't :)

    Karen,
    Thanks! Coming from you, I take the suggestion about a memoir as a large compliment. I'd love to do it, but I would need a lot of help. I just can't seem to come up with enough time. For now, I just post my stories (that may oneday relate to chapters) on my blog. Someday...
