Congratulations on your award!
I think your theme of interconnected posts to create a short story is really ambitious! I wish you the best of luck and look forward to reading the story as the challenge progresses.
Have fun with the A to Z! I think you would have been a Sad Panda had you skipped it this year.

Congratulations on the award! And thank you for nominating me! Anything that references me to a sweetheart or a beloved is a good thing. ;) Back when I was part of the AOL Journal experience, awards went around quite a bit. Haven't seen that much on Blogger. I graciously accept and will pass the torch as soon as possible. Got to round up my nominees.

Thank you for the nomination. I love that you would give every family an acre to be self-sufficient. What a great wish.
Looking forward to your A to Z posts. I may wait and pass along the badge when I meet new A to Z Bloggers in the next few weeks.
Happy Easter!
Thank you for the nomination for an award for Day of Grace...your reading and comment are award enough...
Ha ha! I love your invisibility answer - that would definitely be for good. ;-)
