Playin Catch-Up

A week or so ago Dawn blessed me with the above award. What is the meaning of the expression: Arte y Pico What is the meaning of the expression: And basically, ironically, it translates into a wonderful phrase in Mexico, “lo maximo.” It will never find its counterpart in English, but if it HAD to, it would be something like, Wow. The Best Art. Over the top, if you already have the award just accept and that's all you have to do.

Otherwise:

1. You have to pick 5 blogs that you consider deserving of this award for their creativity, design, interesting material, and also contribute to the blogging community, no matter what language. 2. Each award has to have the name of the author and a link to his/her blog to be visited by everyone. 3. Each award winner has to show the award and put the name and link to the blog that presented her/him with the award. 4. The award winner and one who has given the prize have to show the link "Arte y Pico" blog so everyone will know the origin of this award (the link is http://arteypico.blogspot.com/).

Today, I received this award
 
from Dawn as well.

We need friends for many reasons, all throughout the season. We need friends to comfort us when we are sad, and to have fun with us when we are glad. We need friends to give us good advice, We need someone we can count on, and treat us nice. We need friends to remember us once we have passed sharing memories that will always last. Thank you Dawn for both of these awards!!!

Danced with my daughter and husband. 4 Random Facts about me: I had my hair re highlighted and cut last week. I feel like I'm 30 year old trapped in a 65 year old body.
