Congratulations to all the winners. There were a couple of categories that had co-winners. Jason whipped up and won 5 Blogaronis- AMAZING!

I would like to thank everyone that participate and voted. As a nominated blogger that shut out of the awards, it was an honor to just be nominated. I am gunning for your blog of the year title next year Jason (nominated 2 years in a row- I will not be the Susan Lucci of the Blogaronis).

These have been a few simple thoughts of my complex mind.

Thank you Larry.

And thank you for licking and sealing the envelopes so we have DNA to leave at the scene.

What would an award show be without sealed envelopes?

Sky Girl said...

Thanks for your efforts to put this all together.

Larry Litle said...

Sky Girl,

Thank you. I am glad to do it.

Mike said...

Thank you Larry for letting me know about this. I had no idea this was going on in Springfield.

I appreciate the honor and will strive to continue improving through the coming year.

Mike,

You have a great blog and wonderful photos. Congratulations again. I do have your certificate if you are interested in it.
