When I first accepted this award, I passed it on in it’s original form… but because of a personal grievance with the B#l#o#g@ Of the Y#e#a#r award, I choose to remove it’s name from my site, and delete all signs of it’s existence… thus making it an entirely different award! Ta da!
Thanks to FrankfurtMalin for this award! If you’re like me, you’ll have to go to her category page and click “Also in English” to get all her great posts translated for my English-only mind. 
I am in awe of her multilingual capability and adventurers soul– not to mention she also finds times to be a great mom.

Congratulations!!
Thank you!
Congratulations
Gracias!
Congratulations! I love hotels too (definitely not a bed & breakfast person!) and like you, more of a nester, but I do like long weekend getaways.
Yes, I’m all up for a long weekend getaway… but I’ve never been one to get excited about traveling somewhere that takes hours or days to get to. I can be coerced to do slightly longer travel if there’s a really, really great hotel though.
(I don’t like Bed & Breakfast’s either– I love the idea of them, but they never seem to really pan out!)
Congrats!
Thanks!

Congratulations Rara, and thanks for sharing the joy!
Well done and congrats Rarasaur. A well deserved award for a blog I simply can’t resist
And thank you so much for nominating me and FEC-THis…. It means a lot.
Thanks, Tracy!
Your blog is fantastic, I’m so glad I had the chance to pass this award on to you. 
Thank you so very much, dear lady; however I do not accept awards of any kind nor acknowledge nominations except to decline them; nor do I participate in poetry magazine or aggregation sites of any kind. My reasons for this are, perhaps too numerous to and perhaps also too convoluted for a tiny comment box such as this; however, as always I do, very much appreciate the lovely intentions that surely are behind such a sentiment.
Oh David, write a post about your reasons or send me an email (rarasaurdinosaur@gmail.com), and I’ll sway you to my side…. *makes evil witch finger movements like in the cartoons*
Thanks for the appreciating the appreciation anyway, though! 
Thank you very much and thank you very much yet again. This issue appears to be coming of often enough that It would probably make sense for me to write a long, ponderous, pedantically dull post regarding my reasons for this. Perhaps I shall do so in the not so distant future.
I am quite in awe of these “powers” you posses. I believe my sweetest wife uses such powers on me as well, and I seem to be completely helpless in the face of them.
haha, yep! It’s uncoiled feminine power! And it’s truly frightening.
Be sure to send me a link when you post it, just in case I miss it… though I do check in to your blog regularly. 
Well, oddly, someone just… … found, and/or reminded me of a post, by way of linking to its main subject, that explains the aforementioned reticence at least partially, although, I will warn you in advance, that not only is this post rather ponderous, but as ponderous as it is, still it only deals with 1 or 1-1/2 of the handful of reasons I have for the above.
and furthermore…
This is what I’m currently dealing with:

Awwww, shucks. Thank you and many, many hugs are sent your way!
Oh, your worth every award you get!
