Awards from, ahem, royalty

Mimi, Queen of Memes, had a Blog Appreciation Week a while back, and I only thanked her for one of the three awards she kindly bestowed upon me.

I hope I am not destined for the dungeon. It's dank, as we all know. And dark. And there is no electricity, just a few small windows with a northern exposure. You never get to see a sunrise or a sunset. Or anything pleasant. It's just not pretty.

Her Highness honored me with this award:

with this comment:
"Patti @ Late Bloomer Boomer- aka Princess Patti the Succinct Writer Extraordinaire who manages to maintain a quality blog and write for a New England newspaper. Patti is a person I greatly admire. She is not only of royal heritage but a kind and decent and lovely woman. I am proud to call her my friend."


Thank you, Mimi, for your very kind words. The check is in the mail.

The Queen of Memes (and I daresay of the blogosphere) also honored me with this:

It's from Chuck at Foster Me Up.

Apparently Chuck believes that Mimi is a VIXEN!

Mimi wrote, in part "(And now on to award the other mild-mannered and lovely vixens in the blogosphere (and there are many...)"

Patti, Linda, Dawn, Sandee, Ciara, Kathleen, Katherine, Bee, Tish, Jeni, Jane, Angellz, Lyn, Mary, Turnbaby, Anndi, Mauigirl, Maryam, Barbara, Sanni, Margo, Lori, Desert Songbird, Daisy, Akelamalu, Giggles, Julie, Deana, Jamie, Starr, Debbie, Akelamalu, Carver, Barbara Doduk, Shannon, Lois, Mags, Jennifer, (post)
Asara, Dixie, Ev, Nola Dawn, Olga, Samantha, Sojourner's Place, WillThink4Wine and Annelisa.

Looks like I'm in good company!

But I'm not really a vixen, am I? My mother wouldn't approve.

Thank you again, Mimi, for your kind words. Another check is in the mail.
