First of all-
Thank you so much for always playing along.
I know many blogs have been abandoned over the years-
Facebook & Instagrams are the new favorites
BUT
there are a lot of us "old" bloggers
that remain connected and I am thankful for that.
Ready for the results?

#5- A LITTLE BIT OF GOLD
Mevely, Billie Jo, Betty D &
Racheld-comment/how she rationalized her choice:
I DO believe #5 would be my choice, though I've never been a sunflower or daisy person---it's just that all the red checks and blue napkins and little jam jars with their topknots fresh from the canning kitchen all look as if they could have come out of one of those Massachusetts/Maine baskets ready for a picnic. You know, the wide, lavish ones with the colorful cloths top and bottom of a warm berry pie with stars in the crust, whether it's the Fourth or not---something about a New England Summer picnic that's so fresh and crisp and bright, and not like the dumpy old everyday Colemans and Igloos of my Southern raising, slid into pickup beds with tools and quilts and an ole dog to head for the lake, and Cuzn BobbyRay already there with a big bag of Kingsford and Marvella's famous Duke's potato salad.
And the table! The colors---and cupcakes! Nibbles! Jam! That one looks like you turned me loose at it already, throwing all sorts of homemade goodies around with a careless hand. Yep. #5

Well, there you have it!
Another Pick Your Favorite wrapped up.
If I missed your name-let me know.
I do double check but I have to go
from blog comments, to FB comments,
to direct emails....so bear with me..
Be kind if I dissed you---let me know

I have a prayer request coming in a day or two
so please pop in again.
Love all you wonderful people!
