Congratulations, and thanks for the nomination! We are honored 🙂 🙂
Richly deserved!
I really like #3.
Thanks. You a racing fan too?
Not so much. I was “horsey” years ago. I just enjoy the vision that comes to mind, and I can imagine what a thrill the experience must have been.
I used to love racing in the 70s and 80s, but enthusiasm for the sport has waned over the decades. But for someone who really wanted to grow up and be a jockey, it was a dream day! 🙂
Thanks for taking time to read and comment. And I love your handle: Mad Queen Linda.”
Thank you very much for the nomination, and congratulations! Well deserved!

I like okra too!!!
Wow! Someone else who’s crazy. 🙂 But how can one not like a fruit that belongs to such a crazy botanical family that includes hibiscus and cotton?
Thank you for this nomination.
I’m rushing my other work like crazy do that I can make time to make a post on it.
No rush! I certainly understand how much time these take! 🙂
