Thank you Herr Pastor, not only for the coveted award, but for pointing out a few posts that I’ve missed during a very hectic time of year. A merry Christmas from both the missus and I.
The dam bursts, leaving a big, watery, baptismal mess.
Happy New Year, Pastor, and thanks!
Dan

Pastor, thank you so much for the Golden Aardie Award! I think this is the first time I've ever gotten one from you. That's not too surprising since I don't post on my blog very often.
I didn't even notice until today because I don't look at too many blogs very often, but I will promptly post it on my blog, "loud and proud" as you described in your post about how to put the Aardie on one's blog. :D

Thank you very much for the Golden Aardie!! I just saw about it on Frank's blog -- guess I didn't scroll far enough when I read the Alley Christmas post.
And here I was wondering if anyone actually read my blog!
Thanks again!

;-)
Thanks again!
