I would like to give everyone a BIG BEAR HUGS and THANK YOU for your tremendous valuable support... 

My humble blog has made it to the top 100... woohoo... I am at no 68  on Babble Top 100 Mom Blog 2012.


chicken and cashews

This came as a surprise... I first knew that I was in the top 100, when I noticed links originated from Babble ~ viewing my page... Curiosity always gets the best of me... I followed the 'smell' ... link.

I jumped in delight... I just stopped short of screaming my lungs out.

I would have had angry neighbors knocking at my door, if I did just that, at 6 o'clock in the morning...


Cooking, photography, and blogging have become part of me. I hope to continue this 'Passion' for many years to come...

I treasure your friendship ... your words of encouragement give me strength, and your support towards my blog: "From My Lemony Kitchen" and I ... are most valuable...
