Suzanne at Colorado Lady is hosting a photography meme for this month, and she's calling it Love on Wednesdays in February.I have combined this meme with a thanks, a tag, and awards. It fits quite nicely, I think. See if you agree.
Yesterday I got an answer to my problem of how to get my soap dispenser to pump. Several suggested that I dilute the soap. I've already got it more than half water, so I know that's NOT the solution I needed.
Blondie's Journal said: "Check to see if the plastic thingy is too long. If it is touching the bottom of the dispenser inside, you may not be getting enough air pressure to make it pump."
I cut ½ inch off at an angle, and IT WORKS! WOO HOO! Thanks, Jane!
Diane from A Picture Is Worth A 1,000 Words tagged me to do a photo Meme. The directions are to look in the 6th folder and post the 6th picture and write about it.
I've done this with the fourth picture, but here's the sixth.
This summer, Johnny and I celebrated our 50th anniversary by renting a large house on Ft. Myers Beach for a week. We invited our children and their families to share it with us. This is a picture of our son, his wife, and their three daughters. What a special time that was! Thanks, Diane, for helping me think on it again.Chris at Chris’s Corner shared an award: You Are A Jewel. I love crowns! Thanks for being so generous and sharing, Chris!
Charlotte at Chrlotte’s Weblog shared the Helping Hand Award.
This pretty red award is meant to encourage and uplift others in the blogging world. Here’s how it works: Select 10 bloggers: 5 you consider your blogging Helping Hand, then “Pay it Forward” by extending your “Helping Hand” to 5 additional new bloggers in support and encouragement for their efforts. Thanks, Charlotte; see how I reinvent these rules below.
Melissa at Little Things in Life gave the Premios Daro Award to me. The meaning of the award is as follows. “The Dardos Award is given for recognition of cultural, ethical, literary, and personal values transmitted in the form of creative and original writing. These stamps were created with the intention of promoting fraternization between bloggers, a way of showing affection and gratitude for work that adds value to the Web.” I'm honored and grateful to her.
Here's the part I like best! If you're on my blogroll, I already ❤ you! And, if you regularly visit and leave comments, I would LOVE to present you with one or more of these neat awards! Please tell me in a comment if you'll give me the pleasure of presenting you with one or all of these awards.
What do you think? Did I fit all of this within the meme Love on Wednesdays in February?
BONUS: I posted a review of a good book that I think you'll enjoy. Take a look.
Hi Sally what a busy bee you have been today with your post - thank you I would like to accept the awards and will post them on my site tomorrow for 'Thankful Thursday' take care, Judith

Congrats on the awards Sally. You deserve them!!! I am glad that you got your pump working. That can be aggravating.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
Well first, I love you Sally ♥ your blog brings me joy every time I visit! Second, 50 years...wow, that's incredible and wonderful. Congratulations! Now third :) you definitely deserve every award you were given. I love awards but wouldn't have a clue which one I deserved lol
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great day!
Love, Kathy
Congrats on your much deserved awards, Sal and I am happy you got the dispenser working. You have a beautiful family!....Christine

ReplyDeleteLove your photo of your family! They really look happy!

Shelia ;)
Snipping off some of the bottom of the soap dispenser, great advice. I'll have to remember that one too. :) Glad it works now.
ReplyDeleteGreat awards and I think you've got the love theme covered several times over today.
You got a lot of love going on in your blog post today! It fits the Love on Wednesdays perfect. Thanks for the visit to my blog. I have been to yours on the last 2 Love on Wednesdays and your picture header of your back yard water scene is beautiful. See that's what I mean when I say I love the water. It is just so beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteSally, I can't believe I didn't visit you yesterday. I have had the same problem with a dispenser. I threw mine away (I didn't love it anyway) yours is very attractive. Now I know what to do. I love your 6th photo. Congrats on 50 years. What a milestone. Congrats too, on all of your well deserved awards. I think you fulfilled Suzanne's Love on Weds. perfectly.
ReplyDeleteI forgot to answer you about the people you know. I'm sorry but I don't know them. We have lived here permanently for less than two years and still know just a few people. That is improving rapidly though.
I would love to accept your awards but Beverly needs to put them on my sideboard. She needs to help me do it once and then I will know how it's done. She is a very busy person and has a demanding job with DUKE. She always say it is easier for her to do it than to tell me. I think I need to take a stand here. Smile.
Have a wonderful day Sally.
Hugs...Jeanne
Congratulations on all of your awards.
ReplyDeleteYour 50th sounds like it was a perfect celebration. Family is what it is all about.
Glad that you got a solution to the soap dispenser. I know what to do if I have problems in the future....ask bloggers!!!!
Good Morning Sweet Sally... I loved your post today... Your son’s family is very good-looking... What cute grand daughters... 50 years wow that is a great accomplishment these days...

I was interested to read about the solution for your soap dispenser. That may be the problem with one built into my sink that I've never been able to use.
