A Lemonade Award?? This was NEW to me but turned out to be Very Nice!

By
Real Estate Agent with Pilkerton Realtors

I love a good surprise when I open my email! That's just one reason why I laughed when I saw that Alisha Harrison had made a comment on my blog It's Here, It's finally arrived! REAL ESTATE THE ROME WAY! and had left a link like this: 

"Also, I've awarded you a Lemonade Award. Check it out! "  

A Lemonade Award you ask?   This is an award given by someone who has also recieved it - a past recipient - to 10 other bloggers. I am to pick 10 bloggers here at Active Rain that show gratitude and/or attitude. 

I did a little research on this award and what I found were some terrific blogs on    

When life gives you lemons...make lemonade!  by Wanda Richards and

Pat's Lemonade Stand  by Patricia Kennedy

But, alas, no Lemonade Awards. So I guess I just need to follow the instructions.

I suscribe to the following blogs because I either know the writer peronally and I want to keep up with them, or I happened upon their blog more than once, enjoyed it, and/or learned something important and decided to suscribe. Having been MeMe'd in the past I know it's time consuming so I am not putting down any of the people Alisha has already listed. In no particular order, Here goes...

Margaret Rome

Emily Lowe

Bill Gassett

Jeff Belonger

Elizabeth Nieves

Thom Abbott

Gary Woltal

Margaret Woda

Debe Maxwell

Missy Caulk

Thank you all for sharing great information and guiding me in my quest to learn blogging and the things that go with it! Happy New Year to you all!

Connie.... I also love lemonade... especially the yellow lemonade. I don't drink it much, but I love the stuff out of the can the best. ....  In any case, thank you very much for the polite mention....

Hi again Connie!  I didn't mean to sound negative--I've been CRAZY busy for this last month--I had Christmas day off and that's IT!!  So, I am trying hard to keep caught up and hopefully will get to this by the end of the week!  I have so many that I have to 'thank' for their mentoring here in the Rain and DEFINITELY want to do that!

Thanks again and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hi Connie, What a great idea and way to find new and interesting bloggers. I have read and subscribed to some of the folks on your list and will check out the names that are not familiar! Thanks!

Debe - If that was negative, then you're way too happy for me!!!! LOL December has been crazy for me too. I planned to take most of both weeks off and so far have worked everyday except Christmas too! One of my clients asked to look at houses New Years and I just said NO! :) I guess it's a good problem to have.

Russell - If nothing else, this "award" has opened many of our eyes to other blogs that we might not have read.

Alisha - You're very kind. Just wait until I really learn how to blog!!! LOL

I received the lemonade award from Angelia Garcia. And I told her I'm having a difficult time picking just 10 since there are so many wonderful and helpful Active Rainers whose blogs I've truly enjoyed reading, and from whom I've learned so much.

Picking just 10 is like picking your favorite children. It's not easy. So I'm very carefully composing a list.

On the other hand, being picked is quite an honor.

What a nice idea!  It make me think of when life is full of lemons, make lemonade!  And I guess this implies these people take not so great situtions and make something better out of them.  Nice concept!

Pacita - I didn't have as much trouble because I'm still relatively new here and only have about 15 people I subscribe to. The being NEW part is what shocked/humbled/you name it me in even being considered!

Margaret - OMGosh! I've barely been here the past 2 months and as I'm cleaning out my home page your comment popped up. I actually had to read the post and all the comments again. How fun. My things have changed in 4 years!

BTW, how did you find this 4 years later?
