Thanks so much for this, and for posting the video of Steve's memorial too - that was very touching. <br /><br />It may take me a while to post my acceptance, (kids were out of school all last week thanks to snow, & of course are now loaded down with homework), but that will give me a bit of time to decide who to pass it on to. I know so many great bloggers it might have to come down to "eeny-meeny-miney-moe". :)<br /><br />Thank you again!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362528912516506170.post-86685400566993279552010-12-23T16:08:44.811+10:002010-12-23T16:08:44.811+10:00I consider myself properly educated now :-)I consider myself properly educated now :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06181241692016438730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362528912516506170.post-82989864644581601022010-12-16T06:57:49.800+10:002010-12-16T06:57:49.800+10:00what a 'ripper' of a blog mate - brought a...what a 'ripper' of a blog mate - brought a tear of the crocadile variety to my eye.
