Blog Tour!

How many of us hop on someones blog, read the post really quick, post a quick comment and move on to the next blog without even exploring any of the blogs you visit? I know I'm guilty of doing that. But lately I've been trying to take a little time (when allowed) and visit some blogs. I've found great links and resources to a lot of useful things so far on so many blogs. I love it when they have a friends list with the posts listed as I've met some great gals through that. I love to visit those who follow this blog ( though I don't always leave a comment). This blog world can be a great tool and a sense of community. I am trying to go for quality here not quantity as I want to get to know you better. Some of you ( and you know who you are) bless my socks off and I probably leave a comment on your blog every day. We have a "relationship" of sorts and I love that. I recently put out a post for a prayer request. You all blew me away with your kind words and responses. I love that you are out there and actually care. That's the kind of blog relationships I'm looking for.
By the way Aunt Doris isn't doing very well. Please keep her in your prayers. She's been sent home, and my Uncle is refusing Hospice. She's only eating pudding and has been dry heaving lately. Her salvation still stands in the balance so I ask you to continue praying for her.

Now the reason I am doing this post is to give you (if you would like) a little tour of my blog.
Let's start with the header. I love changing it for the different holidays and seasons, so you will probably see that change often. Next let's go to the right side. At the top you will see a search feature. If you ever want to know if I've touched on a subject just put in a search word and find out. You can also narrow your search by looking at my labels on the left as I try to sort things pretty good. Continue down on the right and I will usually have fun things that are coming up as I stumble upon them. This is a benefit for you because a lot of times they are giveaways. I keep this up to date and remove those things that have expired. Below that are resources for you that I myself either use or are a part of. I don't put anything on my blog that I don't believe in in some way. I've put my buttons for my meme's on there as well as others that I participate in.
At the end of the right side you'll see my face book and twitter updates. I don't spend a lot of time on those but will post what I'm doing in real time on there every once and awhile. Feel free to join me in that. I know you'll want to know when I'm drinking my coffee or shampooing the dog lol. I also decided to post all the wonderful blog awards that you have given me in one post and link to it as your blessings were far outweighing my blog space lol. You gals rock!
At the bottom of my blog I have my bookshelf. I have either read, am reading or reading again, these books listed. Feel free to check them out and see if there's something you'd like. I'm always on the lookout for another good book.
Are you still with me? Good! I didn't plan on this being so long. Sorry. I've already had my coffee thus the influx of wording this morning. Ha! Ha!
Coming up the left side is my favorite. This is where I get to proudly display my friends and blogs that I love to read. I recently lost some of you on here and if you don't see yourself on there and either wish to be or knew you were at one time but now aren't please tell me because a whole list of you disappeared. Thank you blogger!
Above that are my archives and then my labels to make searching easier. Oh and let's not forget my cooking blog which I haven't posted in 6 days it seems. I'm usually better about that. Last but not least my mood. LOL. This will vary from time to time and will give you an idea of how I'm feeling at that moment.
Phew! Did you stick it out with me? If you did then write the word, DUH, in the comments below! LOL. That way I know you read the whole thing! LOL. I'm so kidding! You don't have to. I trust you! Hee! Hee!
I will keep you up to date on any interesting changes to the blog that might be beneficial to you and I would love to have a blog tour at your blog as well. Let me know if you do one.

BIG HUGS!
