An award from Bella



Thank you Bella
Proving once again that the decision I made to be myself when I started writing this blog 23 months ago was the right one, I have been awarded the "You Make My Day" award by Bella. For those of you who haven't been reading my blog all along, Bella is the one who urged me to try boiled peanuts last fall when I drove my in laws to Florida. For the record I liked them. If you don't make Ciao Bella a regular stop during your travels in the blogosphere, I suggest you do. Get to know Bella and see why she is such a good friend.

I will pass this along to the following bloggers:

Daisy has been a definite bright spot in my comments sections. Her blogs are a combination of humor photography and her insights. Note to Bella:Daisy is another good blogger from the Buckeye State.

Since I was bestowed this award by a nurse, I will now give this award to another nurse. Jessica, of Five Pines fame, is very deserving of this award. Her blog centers around her love for her family, her home, and her love of nature. Jessica is also a proud band mom, who is sure to be posting pictures of her daughter, Jordan, as she begins marching within the next 1-1/2 months.

Michelle, of Rusin Roundup fame, has been one of my friends for awhile. She is part of the Terre Haute gang, a tight knit group of bloggers who form a very bright spot in blog world. She currently sharing her vacation with all who want to see. Good stories, good photos.

Post 800: Time to chat

Hi Guys, It's hard to believe that this is post number 800 for this blog. I started this blog out of my desire to communicate. Since radio and television is becoming more and more automated and less and less personal, I'm glad I made the decision to go in this direction as it has given me many blessings. When I first decided to write my musings, a friend from the radio and television boards who goes by the name of newsnomore, told me not to be discouraged if I didn't get any readers. The fact that I did in the early going made me surprised and grateful that anyone was enjoying what I wrote. I've had people tell me that maybe it wasn't meant for me to ever be in radio, that maybe my calling was blogging. Nowadays I think blogging makes for better two way conversation than terrestrial radio, especially the way I do it, non confrontational. The closest I come from any confrontation is the innocent digs that Pat and I shoot at each other. On an average day I get betwee...

From a "Battleground State"

I am going to make this one short and sweet. I live in Ohio, in this election season, one of the so called "Battleground states," a state crucial for any candidate presidential hopes. Of course we have had many visits from presidential and vice presidential candidates. Other blogs have dissected both campaigns so I will not. The only questions I have is will the promises made by either of these candidates exclusive to these states be fulfilled, or will they prove only to be hot air?

Why?

What I'm posting now is with the blessing of Chelle. Chelle is the cousin of Suzanne's husband, Richard. I had gotten the impression from both of them that they were about as close as sisters. Suzanne had been a friend of mine since I had discovered one of her blogs in July, 2006. We would make reference to each other on our blogs and would have dialogue via email quite a bit. It was no surprise to me that she was friends to many other bloggers as well. I felt it was quite an honor to be held in as high esteem as I was. We even talked to each other on the phone on occasion. I felt as we had known each other for a long time. I also knew that Suzanne was having some personal problems, much of which had to do with a very troubled marriage. I would let her bounce things off me, and I would send her some encouragement. While she was going through some of her marital problems, she made herself available to give me a lift when I needed it. My son was having some problems of his own a...
