Yesterday I was surprised and honored to receive this Fabulous BlogAward from my friend and hero Vicki Lane @ http://vickilanemysteries.blogspot.com/
It was somewhere around August/September 2008 that I discovered Vicki. I was searching for books set in Appalachian Mountain locations.
I ordered her books and began corresponding with her via e-mail. I started reading her blog which she had been posting on daily for about a year. I went back and read every single post in about three days. I visit her blog daily and thoroughly enjoy her posts. We made arrangements to meet in person last October when I vacationed in the mountains but she got snow in Western NC and I was on the Tennessee side and didn't make it over there. Then I planned to surprise her in February when she was at Murder on The Menu in Birmingham but it was that weekend my daughter chose to come help with the remodel and nearly work us to death! However I am a firm believer in" where there's a will, there's a way" and I look forward to meeting her in person someday! Vicki Lane is the reason I started The Writers Porch and ended up meeting all my bloggy friends, so to be chosen to receive this award from her is Special!

Congratulations Carol! You deserve it! I thank you for the award too!
Hi Carol, I'm "back from the past" and have come over to tell you how much your support has meant to me...thank you for visiting Oasis and leaving a few words to let me know that your heart was with me during that interview process. I treasure your comments. I read another book on the way back from Michigan so I'll write a bit about it this week. It's called "The Middle Place". (Kelly Corrigan) BTW I was "de-plane-d" (don't you love the visual image that makes??Do they take the plane out of you? "Ladies and gentlemen, all those deplaned from ...please go to ..." Good thing I bought a book from the stand while I was waiting because I had another unexpected diversion. I ended up ordering pizza and sleeping in a hotel! (The airlines paid.) Maybe I needed the rest? I enjoyed the book though...and missed one day of class. <3
Oh yes and congratulations on the award...it's wonderful that your inspiration blog writer thought to acknowledge you and your Writer's Porch! <3
