I am so amazed that you have time to read so many blogs! I am barely keeping up with my old blog friends...will try to visit some new ones though.
Oh, I just read the top winner, and I must say, your choice was perfect. What a true Christmas story. Thank you for sharing this wonderful writer and her story.
Thank you so much for mentioning my post this week!
great choices hilary...sandi's was so touching and i am always prefrencial to Cabo...smiles. congrats to all those mentioned...i enjoyed them all.
Oh gosh - whoever voted my post: thank you! Although really I have to thank the funny little person who wrote me this letter in the first place!
What wonderful honorees. I only know a few of them...looks like I have new friends to make! Thank you for doing this!
Congrats to all ... looking forward to some new blogs and some good reads
First of all Hilary, thank you so much for Post of the Week...and thanks so much for all this wonderful reading I've just had...they've all made me glad that my parents insisted on school rather than the circus I always wanted to run away to!
hugs
Sandi
Wow! Thank you. I'm feeling very honoured, and am looking forward to reading all these posts. :)
Again, this is a great idea! I love that you're introducing me to new blogs! :)
Thank you so much, Hilary, for including me. I read Sandi's story and agree that it's wonderful.
Sandi's story is one of the best I've ever read on the web. Truly touching.
You do us a great service, Hilary. I'm off to read some of the others now.
I recently discovered My Soul is a Butterfly. Gorgeous writing.
Hilary,
I must take the time to get over to these blogs... you are scouting out and finding the good ones. Thanks for your comment on my blog today... you were the first person I thought of when I started to blog it because of your wonderful, beautiful collection of photo shots. The Bach
Quite a few that I haven't read here but Sandi's was really great!
Nuts in May
Mr. London is too kind. Thank you for sending a few beautiful readers my way. I will now have to check out the rest of these recommendations.
Glad I found you!
Thank you, Hilary. :) Off to check everyone out!

Hilary...I haven't been around much cause of Mom...but am SO glad you are continuing this. What will we do without David and his photos and humor??!
I LOVED your post of the week! I read it before I saw this and was just full of happiness. (And a few tears.)
• Carol, I understand your scarcity in the blog world, these days. Take care of your Mom and of yourself. I'm sure that a lot of folks miss David around here. I'm glad you're enjoying my version of his POTD. :)
• Thaks, Louise. Sandi's post is incredible, eh? :)
Hilary, thank you so very much. What a lovely lift to the spirits that was for me, and greatly appreciated.
I promise to tour posts tomorrow, but I didn't want to let another day pass without saying a heartfelt thanks :-)
Take care!
Sandi's posts are always so entertaining. I haven't gotten to that one yet though--too much to do outside of Blogland. Thanks for pointing the way to some new discoveries.
And that icon is too cool! Since you've honored me in your Posts of the Week, I guess I'm entitled to grab it for my sidebar. WOO HOO!
• Shimp, you're very welcome. I'm glad it pleased you. :)
• San, I agree with you about Sandi. She's a wonderful writer. And of course, help yourself to the icon. It's yours for the taking. :)
Such good picks Hilary! Thank you. I enjoy reading new writers and finding such joy and smiles to add to my day. Thank you!
Congratulations to Hannah. She may not have won this, but happily Blogger saw something in her posts because she was awarded Blog of Note on Friday.
• Thanks so much, Lori. I'm glad to hear that. :)
• MLS, I'll bet you're one of her biggest fans. I'm happy for her and for you. :)
