I was pleasantly surprised when I woke this morning and discovered that Gwynn Rogers @ http://www.gwynnsgritandgrin.com nominated me for the Liebster Award. May sure started off with a bang for me, as the buzz of the AtoZ April Challenge hasn't worn off.

Have a drink, give my father and siblings money, and travel.
