I’ve Got Sunshine (Award)

Ok—this week I am playing catch up. You must bear with me if I have accepted this before. Many months ago I was given the Sunshine Award, and I have procrastinated and procrastinated!! I am terrible about that. I have received the Sunshine Award before and I am over the moon about the name of this award….long ago, a friend of mine gave me that moniker—and she always called me Sunshine.
