I received this award, from Joanne at "Reasons to be Cheerful, 1, 2, 3." Which was very kind of her. (Thank you, Joanne.)
The note with this says; "This award is an acknowledgement of womanhood and sisterhood." Kind of a "solidarity" and "compassion" kind of think, I guess.
Uhhhh . . . Now this is exceedingly peculiar, because the Bear is not a she, but a he.
How to get around the problem? Joanne has declared the Bear an "honourary sister."
Hmmmm . . . Did somebody say, "anomalies," "curiosities," or "weird"? Granted, Bear may be a creative thinker, but not even I could make this one up! "Honourary Sister!?" Ahhhh, . . . well, . . . "interesting."
This started (I think) with Rosaia at "sixtyfivewhatnow" -- though she would be an obvious candidate for the award, so I should send one back anyhow. So pay attention: Natalie; Renee; Camilla: Frances; Sonia; Wendy; Dana; Julie; Janine -- and a whole bunch of others with whom I correspond semi-regularly and have forgotten to mention -- this is for you! (Bear's mind is getting mushy at this hour; I'm forgetting details.) So help yourself. There's a copy on my sidebar -- it's for YOU, all of you -- loving, caring, thoughtful sisters [l.e., human beings]. There's even one for the Blog Fodder, who we'll also classify as an "honourary sister." (No offense, big guy.)
Now, back to our regularly-scheduled programming.

Thanks Mr Girlie Bear! Much appreciated.xx♥
Speaking of weird my comment on which books we are reading seems never to have arrived - oh well.
Glad you have accepted the award. Nothing odd about honorary sisters, I had men at my hen party before I got married, some dressed as hens the others as women. You see it could have been worse!!
Oh, Rob...that's hysterically funny!!! You approached this with much decorum and grace!!! Congratulations! ;-) We love you! Hugs, Janine
Honourary Sister? Well, I was once called one of the mothers by a Kindergarten teacher. I have been referred to as a mother before but as i said usually as part of a compound word. Thanks for the award. What does one do with it?
