Lemonade Stand Forced to Close

“I think all bloggers should make a pact to let memes die a peaceful death.” – Jane Kennedy Sutton

I have the honor of receiving the "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade" award from both Joan De La Haye and Chester Campbell. At first I groaned. Then I read the ‘rules’ and learned that all I needed to do was pass it along to ten other blogs. That’s easy enough I thought, sighing in relief. I wouldn’t have to dig any family skeletons out of the closet or reveal more embarrassing facts about myself.

I didn’t want to be the one to cause a meme to die, but I can’t think of a single blog to honor with the award. It’s not because there are no worthy sites out there—I found plenty. Spending more time than I care to acknowledge, my search for a site that had not been named or that had not previously posted this cute little picture, came up empty. Being an introvert, I am not comfortable going to a complete stranger’s blog, tapping them in the comment section, and yelling, “Tag, you’re it!” as I dash away. So I’d like to offer my apologies for being the one responsible for running this nice little stand out of business.

If there is any blogger out there who hasn’t yet received this honor but would like to, please let me know. I will be happy to edit this blog to include you. Otherwise, will someone please let me know if I am expected to return the award to some cyberspace closet to collect dust and await a host that can follow the simple directions?

Thanks for stopping by.
