My Blog is an Outstanding Blog … and I’m a Little Nutty
December 19, 2007 by Lillie
Recently I’ve been noticing incoming links from blogs I’ve never heard of. I learned that this blog is included in Troy Worman’s list of Outstanding Blogs. I don’t know who added me to the list, but thank you to whoever you are.
In the past, I included a long list of recommended blogs because I thought the blogs might interest my readers. However, Joanna Young inspired me to reconsider. She said she never posts lists of blogs unless she has visited and can personally recommend each one. That made sense to me, and I intend to follow the same policy. I appreciate the links from this list, and I’m confident that blogs on the list are worth checking out. However, I won’t include the entire list since I’m not familiar with all the blogs on it.
Jos at NoDirectOn awarded all the Blue Ribbon Bloggers the I’m a Little Nutty Award. That may seem a little frivolous for a blog that is usually serious, and it doesn’t fit my policy of responding only when the meme/award/tag fits the them of my blog. However there’s a special reason I like being called a little nutty. My mother, who died in 2003, had a little pillow on her favorite chair for years. Embroidered on the pillow were the words: “My family tree is full of nuts.” My sister still has that pillow today in the same chair it’s been in for many years. So I had to smile at the memory of my beloved mother and appreciate this award.
What a wonderful little memory, Lillie!
And hey, there’s nuthin’ wrong with bein’ a little nuts! And believe me, I should know!
Hi Lillie,
Thank you for the mention, and for so gracefully accepting this “award”.
So your blog is an Outstanding Blog.. and you’re a Little Nutty… I would start worrying if it were the other way around — unless you’d strive to be a Little Outstanding with a Nutty Blog
Take Care, -Jos
Lillie, talk about headlines that draw us in – this one did it for me!
Thanks for sharing that family story. You really are most charmingly nutty:-) It’s been a pleasure getting to know you this year. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year.
Joanna
Kudos. Congrats. And Thank you!
Congratulations on making the list of Outstanding Blogs, Lillie! I haven’t posted the list at Writer’s Notes either, for much the same reason that you didn’t. Thus far, I’ve simply placed the badge in my sidebar. I probably should write a post about it soon, though, so no one thinks I’ve swiped the badge! (LOL!)

An interesting award none the less. It is always a beautiful thing to hold on to memories of loved ones. Your mother seems to have had a wonderful sense of humor..
Have a good day…and stay nutty!
DR,
Yes, my mother had a great sense of humor as well as being very loving and kind.
Thanks for your interesting and funny post !
How ever i like your Outstanding Blog and wish to come again to read more from you.
Thanks ..
Limon,
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed the post and like my blog.
A LITTLE nuts, Robert? I think that’s a serious understatement.
Jos,
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to remember my mother and her nutty family tree pillow.
Thanks, Joanna. I appreciate your comment about the headline. That’s something I always have trouble with.
I’ve enjoyed getting to know you as well … and learning those strange new words like witter.
Merry Christmas and happy new year to you and your family.
Thank you, Troy.
Congratulations to you, too, Jeanne. I haven’t put the badge up yet; maybe between the two of us, we’ve got it covered.
My sidebar is getting so cluttered, I plan to move all the badges and bling to a separate page … but haven’t had time to do it.
