So I got this award with a whole lot of difficult stuff to do involving a certain number of words, and something about Cilantro...

For heavens sake - I'm Italian and now I'm expected to give my life philosophy in FIVE words??

This is the award!

Debra who hangs out at Bodeci Body  has both honored and challenged me with this award.  She received the award from (the other) Adrienne over at The Rich Life on a Budget

The rules:  

Sum up your blogging philosophy, motivation, and experience using five words. And then pass it on to another blog which you feel has real substance. 

Giving my best shot I came up with...

Philosophy: We are children of God

Motivation:  Our prayers are always answered

Experience: Don't put anything in writing

Ok, ok - the last one is only kind of silly.  It sounds silly because we are all writing, writing, writing and publishing it on the world wide web.  What it means is don't put anything in writing you wouldn't want your Mom or Dad to read.  Simple!

So many of my excellent blog friends don't "do" awards,  so I'm going to pass it on to all my favorite friends (you know who you are)  

Take a moment to let us know if you participate so we can visit you.  

Cilantro in Bloom

A few weeks ago some of my cilantro had gone to bloom.  I walked by it for several days before I really stopped and observed the flowers.  Hmmmmm, those are really pretty.

I picked a bunch and put it on my windowsill in the kitchen.  It not only looked pretty it smelled divine.  And next to it a sprig of basil in my Mother's little green shoe vase.  I keep basil handy for our tomatoes, scrambled eggs, and putting fresh basil leaves on a peanut butter sandwich is deliziosa!

It's 6:30 am and I've been up since about 3am.  My hubby has been having a near death experience the past two days (what the rest of the world calls a cold.)  Sigh...

And now I must rearrange my entire schedule because it is raining (finally!)

All in all, it's going to be a wonderful day.  Really!
