I woke this morning to the very nice news that I’d received a Lovely Blog Award from Alex over at Winging It Thanks so much Alex!! The genealogy blogging world has been so welcoming! Although I’ve been researching my family history for 30+ years, it’s always been something of a solitary venture. What a pleasure to find a community of fellow addicts!!
The creativity and talent of geneabloggers never ceases to amaze me. Although I rely on my reader to keep up to date with posts, I still try to sit down for a bit every day to peruse my favorite pages while sipping a cup of coffee.
Thanks again Alex 
Passing on the love…I’d like to nominate a few of my favorite blogs
MarDi at A Hoyt Family Genealogy
Colleen at Leaves and Branches
Tony at Ancestral Wormhole
Rebecca at Blundering Blindly Backwards
Daniel at Personal Past Meditations
Kim at Heritage Heart
