Arte y Pico Award To BigDadGib.net
Posted by: | Comments
We all like to be noticed and so do I. That’s why I am writing this post today.
Our dear friend down in Perth has bestowed this wonderful award on the BigDadGib.net blog. I am thrilled with this award and thank Rodney from RodneyOlsen.net for the honor.
The rules for passing this honor on:
1 - Pick 5 blogs that you would like to award this honor to.
2 - Each award has to have the name of the author and also a link to his or her blog to be visited by everyone.
3 - Each award winner has to show the award and put the name and link to the blog that has given her or him the award itself.
4 - Award-winner and the one who has given the prize have to show the link of “Arte y Pico” blog, so everyone will know the origin of this award.
Here are the five blogs I wish to pass this award onto. They have been an inspiration to me and all that read them.
- Mountain Mama - A great lady with a great blog. She has great stories, photographs and gardening tips from the great North West Territories.
- Diane’s Place - Another fine lady with a great blog. She post about her Emmy, Lamar and all the folks. She is also a wonderful souther-style cook.
- BigWhiteHat - An established blogger, father and husband who is well versed in all, BigWhiteHat walks tall in Texas and I am proud to have him as a friend.
- Clew’s Blues - I can’t tell you when I actually started reading this blog, but it was a long time ago. Sweet, straight and honest, this blogger lady is fun to read.
- Interactive Sermon - An all time favorite. The author is a wonderful pastor, father and singer and not necessarily in that order. His love for his church, family and Christ is apparent as he writes a wonderful blog.
So, those are the five I have picked today. I have so many wonderful blogs I read everyday. I have spoken of them before and if you want to see my complete list of the finest blogs, CLICK HERE
My Friend Rodney - In Jail
Posted by: | Comments
Oh….
Just when you think you know someone, you see them behind bars. Oh, what now?
Who is this?
This is my friend and fellow blogger, Rodney Olson, a wonderful radio jock in Perth, Australia.
This Friday morning, the 7th of March, Rodney will be broadcasting his 98.5 Sonshine FM radio programme from Kings Square, Fremantle, next to the Town Hall, where he will be a convict for a cause. Rodney will be asking people to donate towards Cystic Fibrosis WA so that he can be released. He needs your help to pull off his very own prison break.
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is the most common life threatening, recessive genetic condition affecting Australian children and is the second most common life-shortening, childhood onset inherited disorder in the United States. For such a serious condition it really doesn’t get a lot of attention.
Rodney wants to ask you…
What can you do to support families who are battling CF?
Firstly, you can help me to get the word out. If you publish a blog please link to this post. Can I ask you to email people that you know to highlight what I’ll be doing? Please help me get the word out to as many people as possible. If you use social bookmarking such as StumbleUpon or Digg you can use the buttons at the bottom of this post to share this post with a wider audience.
The other way you can help is by donating. Simply click here, click the ‘Sponsor Me’ button then fill in the relevant details.
Donations can be accepted on Visa or MasterCard. Please keep in mind that the amounts are in Australian Dollars and of course the tax deductibility is only available in Australia. If you’re not in Australia and you’d like to work out the exchange rate you can work it out through this currency converter.
Thank you for your help with this. Together we can make a very big difference for families who can really do with our support and encouragement.
