A Bloggers Best Friend Award from Family Tree Writer

Last evening, after a rather trying day for Man and Moi, one of the emails I opened was from Sherry over at Family Tree Writer (Link not functioning as of January 2019), awarding Reflections From the Fence the Bloggers Best Friend Award.  Some of you may remember my saying that I firmly believe that our Maker gives us gifts we need, WHEN we need them.  Sherry's email was a nice boost at the end of that trying day.  Thank you Sherry. 

If you have not read her blog, you just must!  Have you seen her post, Volunteering – Carnival of Genealogy?  It won her a nice award from Jasia over at Creative Gene, for her entry in the 88th Edition of the Carnival of Genealogy.  No doubt about it, that was one fine piece of writing.  Inspiring!

The developer of the award 'Bandit' "A Blogger's Best Friend Award" says it shall be given to your most loyal blog readers. Thus, the award should be given to a follower of yours who takes the time to comment regularly on many of your posts. In addition his or her blog should be creative, funny and always entertaining. Upon receiving this award, pass it along to two fellow bloggers who fit this criteria.

I choose to pass this award on to the gang over at Cemetery Explorers and Karen of Ancestor Soup.  Both fine supporters of Reflections From the Fence and Moi!  Both deserving, congratulations and thanks for being my friend.

A Bloggers Best Friend Award from Ginisology

Well, mmmmmm, mmmmmm again, what a nice surprise for Carol, from Gini over at Ginisology.  I am a bit speechless, yea, can you believe it, Carol, speechless.  Thank you Gini, you said some very nice things in your award post.

The award rules go something like this:  I have to give this award to my most loyal blog readers. The award should be given to a follower of yours who takes the time to comment regularly on many of your posts. In addition, his or her blog should be creative, funny and always entertaining. Upon receiving this award, pass it along to two fellow bloggers who fit this criteria.

Cousins and friends and fellow bloggers Karen and Anne escaped the first time I was so honored. BUT NOT THIS TIME!!
 
Karen writes over at Genealogy Frame of Mind (have you seen her current series, "Stumble"?) and Anne actually has two blogs, Generational, where she shares her outlook on life in general and Gene Notes, her genealogy blog (her post today on the 1918 Flu Epidemic had facts I did not know).
 
Both gals are friends, good good friends, both are cousins of the  "nth" degree.  Both are true supporters of  Reflections From the Fence. 
 
Congratulations Cuz Karen and Cuz Anne.

A Bloggers Best Friend Award from Flipside

Well, Linda, of Flipside, how sweet, what a nice surprise I found in the comments on the Erwin C. Pickleman post.

The developer of the award 'Bandit' "A Blogger's Best Friend Award" says it shall be given to your most loyal blog readers. Thus, the award should be given to a follower of yours who takes the time to comment regularly on many of your posts. In addition his or her blog should be creative, funny and always entertaining. Upon receiving this award, pass it along to two fellow bloggers who fit this criteria.

Now, I am in a pickle, cause cousins Anne and Karen read every single one of my blog posts, right gals??  And, I don't want to hurt any feelings, so, they get an honorary award, I mean, they are cousins!

But, my two choices for this award, tonight, are Greta, of Greta's Genealogy Bog and Joan Hill of Roots'n'Leaves.

Both truly fulfill the requirements of the award.  Beautifully written blogs, insightful, moving. 

Congrats to all, the recipients and my honorary recipients and bestest friends, Anne and Karen.
