1. The first is the Proximadade Award which, translated from Portugese means,
"This blog contributes to and supports or believes in close friendships."

"This blog invests and believes the PROXIMITY - nearness in space, time and relationships! These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers! Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award."
I previously passed this award on and so will pass it on to four more bloggers now:
1. Sally – Salmagundi
2. Marilyn - A Mixed Bouquet
3. Jewelgirl – Sandwiched Mom
4. Ellen – Little Hedda Hopper All Grown Up
2. The second is the Lemonade Award - Charlotte (char72) at Charlotte’s Blog has honored me with this award, which recognizes blogs that reveal great attitude and/or gratitude.
