Best Award Ever

Today's Saying

Awards become corroded, friends gather no dust.
Jesse Owens

Anywhere you go on the internet these days you run into internet awards.
They are everywhere.
The same award repeated over and over and over again.
They are cute.
They are funny.
They are creative.
They are meaningless.
If everybody has the same award they are certainly not special.
I could fight the trend but I have decided not to .
Instead I have decided to create and bestow ( inflict) one of my own.
If you can’t beat them join them. Here is my contribution:
It comes with the usual rules.
1. Pass it on to at least one other blog but the more the better.
2. Never ever tell anybody who gave it to you. ( Link backs not allowed)
3. Make a nice acceptance speech.

Examples of acceptable acceptance speeches:

AS deserving as I am of this award I can not believe that they finally woke up and gave it to me. I have always striven to uphold the high ideals this award represents. You did well in selecting me.

Using Quilly’s Words:

Given the paucity of mellifluous isangelous blogs, how could you obstrigillate the awarding of this opprobrious award to this blog. I accept with great pleasure.

As a Raven’s Mini Challenge:

This blog, having roughly no bowling monsters in the closet from Pennsylvania on its menu for the day, is proud to accept this award.

As a flash 55 poem:
I am so very happy
I could thank my pappy
And a bunch of others
Like my silly younger brothers
But I shan't and can't
Though I shall not rant
I am responsible just me
I hope this you see
So I grab this award
It strikes the right chord
My faith has been restored.

As a six word Saturday
Enough already! Give me the award.

And now with a drum roll and the blast of a virtual trumpet I award this award to the following:

Thom

Becca-Beccas Back Yard

JennyMac-Lets Have a Cocktail

Liz-Mommy’s Little Corner

Slacker-Chic

Thom was picked because I know he just loves to give these away. The other four were picked by a random generator from a list of visitors that commented on my blog in the last month. For such an award a random generator seemed the best way to go. But if you feel slighted say so in a comment and I will officially award it to you. Far be it from me to slight anybody.

Good blogging and may you receive many awards.

(Click on the Pigeon Falls Graphic for previous chapters.)

Eino called his friend at Homeland Security and told him that there was an indication that Pigeon Falls was going to be attacked by an alien invasion force. His friend just laughed and asked what Eino had been drinking. There will be no help coming from there.
And where in the world is the man in black. Will he arrive in time ?
It looks like our little group is on their own.
Where is that alien force? Why hasn't it come?
As if things weren't complicated enough it is almost time for Pastor Joan to have her baby. The group is trying to get her to go and stay with friends in Iron Mountain until the baby comes but she absolutely refuses to leave them. She says she is Pastor of Last Lutheran which alone can give sanctuary when the battle comes. She has an obligation to be here. Besides if the battle comes and they lose, the entire world will follow and Iron Mountain will not be a place of escape. Herman is afraid she will have the baby in the midst of the battle and they may not be able to get her some help.
She answered that by pointing out several of the women who should be at the church have midwife training. And if everything goes right the Nurse Practicioner may be there as well.

And the name Betty drew is Mama Zen
If she is drawn again tomorrow she wins what is in the treasure chest.
Good luck.

Have added these little finger puppets to treasure chest.
