    Rayanne, Jamie Oliver's cook book, Jamie's Dinners, has the best fish and chip recipe in my opinion. I did not make the ones you see above, but I ate them in New Zealand. Yum!

    Enjoyed reading your list, now I am very hungry for some fish and chips! The hummingbird pictures so cute! The butterflies how neat we have lavender that attracts the bees and I enjoy watching and hearing them buzz around. Love the quote from Luther! Thankful to join in the gratitude of others!

    That hummingbird put the biggest smile on my face -- thank you for sharing that! I give thanks for comfort food too -- if only it didn't make me feel quite so good. ;)

    Hi Jodi,

    I noticed you comment on my mom's blog a lot (Rayanne) and I recognized your photo on Ann's Gratitude Group...I've just been reading through some of your lists. Inspiring! So glad I stopped by.

    Love your little hummingbird....cutest one I've ever seen. :-)

    Love, love, love your listing. I'll be following you!

    I guess I should add that I'll be following you via my blogroll, since I don't see a 'follow me' on here. :-)

    Jodi

    I see you visited me and left a lovely comment. I just posted and have not a change to get everyone's blog just yet.

    I too am reticent and my blog normally only contains little kernels of my life. But I took the plunge in favor of camaraderie and honoring those who have been so kind and generous gracing my blog with their beautiful thoughts, and who themselves have a truly beautiful blog.
    That is why I thought of you and wanted to give you these lovely awards, you so very deserve them. It is always a treasure to come to your blog, I feel so filled with loving kindness that emanates from your words and photos.

    Cheers,
    Joanny

    So, I do NOT know how I missed that 'friends' section up there. *blushing* I'm following now! :-)

    Why is it that comfort food always heads straight for my hips? Seems so unfair. Love your very own hummingbird. So sweet.
