I Have A Challenge For You!

This is my second post of the day, so that tells you I've been pretty lazy and spending most of my time in front of the computer. I don't know why, but I'm really tired today so I don't feel like doing much else. I've been browsing through unknown blogs, hoping to find something interesting, thought provoking, or just plain funny. It hasn't all been for nothing because it gave me an idea for a great blogger challenge!

There are untold millions of blogs in cyberspace. Some of them are great (like all of ours!) and some are not. Some are in English (the only language that I speak and read fluently) and some are not. You can find many of them by hitting "Next Blog" at the top of this page or you can use Google Blog Search. I've done both. If you use Google Blog Search you can narrow down your choices by keywords, language and URL.

So here is my challenge. Find one blog worthy of following or commenting on (you must do one or the other) and share it on your own blog for the rest of us to see. It doesn't matter what sort of blog it is, that's up to you. It would be nice to chose something that you think would be of interest to your blog followers, but it's not necessary. Also, feel free to list more than one if you find more than one worth sharing. No fair using a blog that belongs to someone you know. That's cheating! We're trying to find some new gems out there. Posting this challenge with your results is encouraged, too. Invite your followers to play along. Share the love!! Are you up for the challenge?

Here's the blog I'd like to share (I may add more as the afternoon wears on). I used Google Blog Search and limited my results to cooking, English language and blogger.com or blogspot.com URLs.


  • Mennonite Girls Can Cook - This blog has some outstanding recipes and check out the pictures on the right side of the page (they link you to other recipes), they're beautiful. Worth taking a look at. I commented on the biscuit recipe, which I saved.
I can't wait to see who accepts the challenge and what new blogs we'll find! Get searching!

UPDATE - I'm still adding blogs to the list. Here's some more!
  • Walking Across America - This blogger is currently virtually walking across Michigan. He has some great info. about the cities he visits.
  • View Of You Photography - Gorgeous photographs and a weekly photo scavenger hunt you can participate in!

What a great challenge, count me in :) I left you an award on my blog :)
Thank-you ever so much for the gracious comment on my blog. It makes me feel great that someone takes time to say that to me. My blog came about from my son in Tex who suggested that him and his sisters, one in Chicago, and one in Virginia could keep informed where their Dad was located on his journey. I thought a blog was something that a bird did to ones car windshield. God Bless, Forrest

It's Wednesday, Welcome Back To The Cocktail Party!

Welcome to Willoughby's Blog Style Cocktail Party. I hope you will find some new blogs to follow and expand your circle of blog friends. I know you're all anxious to mingle, so I'll get right to it. I'd like to introduce Deidra from Jumping Tandem .  I know you'll enjoy her blog as much as I do. Keeping It Real.... Deidra I'm an East Coast girl living in the midwest because I love my husband (I call him "H" around here) and his work brought us here. We have been blessed with two amazing children (currently in college) and an empty nest that I absolutely love! Don't get me wrong, I love my kids but they're destined to change the world and they can't do that living under my roof (although they're welcome back anytime for love, prayers, support, encouragement, and of course homecooked meals and clean laundry). Did I mention that H is a pastor? So that makes me the pastor's wife - but don't let that blur your vision. H is...

Bugging Out

Spring is such a wonderful time of year.  The birds have returned and greet each morning with their lovely songs.  The tree branches are covered with green buds ready to burst into life.  The grass has shed it's yellow/brown pallor in favor of a lovely emerald.  The air is warm and breezy.  It's all so lovely except for one thing.  The bugs. Because of our nearly uninhabitable climate during the winter months, we don't see many bugs from late October through early April.  I almost forget how much I hate them until they come back.  And they know I hate them so they taunt me.  Ever since the thermometer hit the 60 degree mark, we've had flies congregating around the back porch.  I can't sit out there and enjoy my morning coffee without having them buzz past me. Now, flies I hate, but spiders I absolutely loathe.  Friday morning I walked into the bathroom to dry my hair and spotted what I thought was a bumble ...

It's Time For A Giveaway!

I am excited to announce that Novica has, once again given me a $50 gift card to award to one lucky winner.  If you're not familiar with Novica , they work in association with National Geographic to bring the work of talented artists and artisans around the globe to the rest of the world via the internet. Shopping their website is a unique experience as you can view information about each artist along with the works they create.  It gives each item a very personal feeling.  In the Keepers Of The Arts section, you can watch videos of the artists at work. I love Novica so much that I could go on and on telling you how wonderful their website is, what great customer service they have and, especially, how talented the artisans are, but it would be much more fun for you to see for yourself.  Before you head over there, though, let me give you a sneak peak of some of the wonderful things you'll discover (and maybe help you find some unique Christmas gifts).
