A New Award! And A Belated Birthday Wish!

This neat award was passed on to me by dear Patty over at Old Lady Lincoln. (She is married to Abe Lincoln, you know!) Thank you my friend. I am honored! Now I am to pass this award on to 5 blogs that make me think and make my day.

Well that is the hard part, as I love all the blogs I visit. However, the rules say 5, so I am passing this award on to- tada, drum roll please :



Deborah at Corridors.

Bev at Mountain Mama

Grandy at Functional Schmunktional

Patti at Nonna's News and

Audrey at Marvellous

Hope you enjoy this award, friends.

I would also like to wish my dear friend Merle, whose birthday, last Friday, May 23rd, I somehow missed, a belated Happy Birthday!

Count your life by smiles, not tears,
Count your age by friends, not years.
Happy Birthday, dear Merle!

Your forgetful friend, Renie.

And thank you for passing this award on to me as well, dear Merle. Getting it twice is very nice! :-)

Hi Renie,
After looking over your profile, I noticed we like the same music and crooners. I have Dean Martin DVDs of his TV show. Remember that show? I also like Elvis music. and I listen to a radio show almost every Sunday afternoon that plays Golden Oldies, or as my children and grandchildren call it 'elevator music';)

Have a pleasant day.

Renie Burghardt said...

Thanks, Stephanie!

I had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. Yes, it is starting to feel like summer around here as well. But the cold is still fresh in my memory, so I am not complaining. Yet. LOL.

Hugs,

Renie

Renie Burghardt said...

Leann,

Good to see you again! I miss you when you're gone so long. Thank you for stopping by.

Hugs,

Renie Burghardt said...

Hi Gramma Ann,

Yes, I noticed that too. We are both golden oldies, right? Haha. I love Dean Martin! Have an autographed picture of him from the old days. Love all the golden oldies music.

Thank you for stopping by. It's nice to make a new kindred spirit friend!

Cheers,

Renie

My memorial Day weekend was wonderful, Patti. Saturday started out really nice, then a thundershower came in and chased us inside the cabin for a while. But it was neat to watch the lightening on the river, below. But it passed quickly, and we were back out on the deck. Sunday was perfect, all day. We even got on the jet ski a bit, but the river is high, and it was scary to me. :-) But I always wear a life jacket anyway. Yesterday was quieter. All in all in was a lot of fun, with friends and family and good food.

Our entertainment wasn't as good as yours though. :-)

Thank you for stopping by. Have a nice week. And enjoy the award.

Hugs,

Renie

Patty said...

Deborah Wilson said...

Renie,

Thank you for passing this award along to the 5 of us..:) I'll get it up in my side bar on Friday, as today I have to study for finals on Thursday. Afterwards, during my 3 week break, I'm going to create some special awards for some special women on the web - and create time for those I'm missing out on. lol

Glad that your weekend was a good one, mine was too. Memorial Day is one of the few that my whole family gets together.

BClark said...

Greetings Renie, you deserve any and all awards, super person that you are. So glad your weekend was good and that you had much enjoyment in it. Ours was quiet and lovely, Hubby was home for 4 days, a new record. Say, have you heard anything from Drunk with Barley, he just kind of disappeared off the radar. Hope he is well.
Best to you Renie, as always I enjoy your blog. Barbara

Renie Burghardt said...

Deborah,

Good luck with the finals! The three week break will be nice. Have a good week.

Renie


Hi Barbara,

Thanks so much for your kind comment. I'm so glad your husband was at home with you for the weekend. Don't know anything about Drunk with Barley. Hope he is okay. Have a good week.

Hugs,

Renie

Dear Renie ~~ Sorry to be so slow replying, time just gets away from me Thank you very much for the birthday greeting, makes no difference a day or so later ~ it stretches the B'day out and I have enjoyed it this year You didn't tell me when yours is??
Glad you liked the award and have it twice. My daughter has put off her trip for a couple of weeks, so still have that to look forward to. The story about Meredith and her dog was a really nice one and was
popular and glad you enjoyed the jokes and leave with a smile.
Bless you my dear friend, Love,Merle

Renie Burghardt said...

Hi Ann,

Oh, I saw the yellow lady's slipper, and thanks so much for posting it. And the picture at the train depot was nice, too. What a nice place to have for family reunions. Have a great day!
