Hey...The Hermit's Blog Got An Award !!

Hey, this is pretty cool! My friend and fellow blogger, Angela at Adventures in Self Reliance gave it to me! I'm totally blown away! Never had anyone give me an award like this before. She calls it the Excellence in Blogcasting Award...and here it is !


This award acknowledges the values that every blogger shows in his/her effort to transmit cultural, ethical, literary and personal values every day.

The rules to follow are:

1) Accept the award, post it on your blog together with the name of the person that has granted the award and his or her blog link.

2) Pass the award to another 15 blogs that are worthy of this acknowledgment. Remember to contact each of them to let them know they have been chosen for this award.

My only problem is that there are so many good blogs around, it's hard to only chose 15 to award, ya know? If it were up to me, I'd give all the blogs I know a great big award!

But since all I have is 15, here are the ones I'll pass this off to...and they,in turn, can pass it on to 15 more! (Man...this is harder than I thought!) BTW, these are not in any particular order!

1. My Road To Freedom

2. My Song...

3. Serenity

4. Sooner Or Later...

5. Artyistic Rythms

6. Cat's Collection

7. Old Lightning

8. Shinerbock's Anti-Social Rantings

9. She Survives

10. Simple Man, Simple Plan

11. Handmaiden's Kitchen

12. Challenged Survival

13. Solitude Of Hermits

14. Homesteading Neophyte

15. DivaHick

Well, that's all the awards that I can give out. I wish there were more! I personally follow and read so many more excellent blogs than are listed here, I feel almost bad just picking 15.

Just know this, each and every one of the bloggers out there, especially the preppers, deserve more than anything I could ever give!

I love you guys, and, I appreciate all the information that I learn daily from everyone. Please keep up the good work!

Now, let's all have a fresh cup of coffee!

  5. Thank you Jim for including me in your list. I think I may have passed the award to a couple of other blogs that are on your list. Oh well, they will receive it twice which will make it twice as good.

    I enjoy reading your blog!
