Award time (Premios Dardo)

After a little blog research I have managed to find that Premios Dardo translates from Spanish to mean Dart Award in English and that it can really mean one of two things when given to a blogger.
1..This award acknowledges the values that every blogger shows in his or her effort to transmit cultural, ethical, literary, and personal values every day.
2..The Premios Dardo is designed to recognize unique voices and visions on the Web as well as to promote fraternization amongst bloggers of all sorts. (Copied directly from George of

Well done Anna. Please come and get your award from me. Look forward very much, to reading a lot more on your blog. Keep up the excellent work.

Thank you George.

The very talented writer, George, over on http://culinarytravelsofakitchengoddess.wordpress.com has just awarded this to me and a few others too. I asked her if it was for this blog only and she said "No, for both your blogs" How special is that?
