Now for those of you who don't know, Frog My Blog is a website that reviews these little marvels of literature called blogs, and assigns them ratings, which to be, well I guess cutesy, they rate by ladybugs...instead of stars. Well folks, are ya ready for this, The View From Silverhorn Mountain got a rating of 5/5 ladybugs...that's the top rating...I don't think they have one higher. Yee Haw!!
The nice/attractive/intelligent/sexy reviewers (I gotta suck up a little) said nice things about us. Well, almost all nice things. They did have a comment about the template we use here at the Lodge, but that is OK, admittedly it could be better, but heck, it's what we got...they also said a few things about the length of the posts...the length...hmmm...I think they were implying, no...stating,that we do go on a little long here...not sure I follow that, I have never been known to go on and on...or beat something to death..or tell long elaborate stories....
They also made a comment about the number of ads...well...hmmm...they seem to be the only ones who have seen the ads, so I dunno what that means. However, it was a great review and we are pretty proud of it. Marcello, the Chief Garden Gnome here at Silverhorn Lodge is standing out in the garden beaming...
I posted a link (or two) to the Frog My Blog website, but knowing how lazy you guys are about clicking stuff, I have just decided to print the review right here....now...

The View From Silverhorn Mountain
The View From Silverhorn Mountain
Is a great view if you ask me. While, I would never presume to improve upon nature, The View From Silverhorn Mountain could be improved with a great professional template. The blogger template in place now just doesn’t do this blog justice. It looks fine in FF, IE, and Operah but all of those ads are quite blinding! Ack! They were the second thing I noticed, and had a hard time ignoring, but once I trained my eyes to the post section, they didn’t leave.
I really enjoyed this blog. The writing is good. There is just enough snark here to keep you going, even though some of the posts are breaking records with their length. Ok, maybe not, but they are quite long. It’s a good thing the humor thrown in there and the skill with which it is written takes your mind off of the fact that the posts never end.
This blog is well put together and a joy to read. A breath of fresh air in a land where cookie cutter blogs have begun to take over, The View From Silverhorn Mountain will surely have you reading more if you start in. The garden gnome boys even have themselves a little shop where you can buy Silverhorn Mountain gear. I actually quite like the women’s tank and will keep my eye out on purchasing one as soon as my own garden gnomes hide some more cash under my matress.
Keep up the good work boys, and tell Marcello that Frannie says hello!
Frannie called us "a breath of fresh air" WOW! Usually we are called "a breath of hot air" and a "Joy to read" Huh-uh....yup that is what I keep telling you guys...
I came home last night and found Marcello and the Boys on the phone with a talent agency...seems they want to grow bigger...well what garden gnome doesn't want to grow bigger....
Stick with us folks, it's only a matter of time until this little diatribe is a movie...or at least a sitcom...or perhaps a long short-short video shown at the Bulgarian Farmers Folk Music and Movie Festival....
Now taking Frannie's point about being a little long winded, I am going to sign off this post, and see if shorter is better...but don't worry, I am just going to post another one right behind this one. Ha!! and you thought we were dumb.....
