I now have to pick seven bloggers I think are NICE. :-) I am going to use the dictionary's descriptions to pick the blogs I think fit each.. leaving out "fussy" #5! I'm adding a few new blogs in - to give some newly found nice folk a chance to get free advertising of their blogs. To do that I had to leave out a few nice old friends, but since they are all nice I know they'll understand. ;-)
1. Pleasing and agreeable in nature:
Has to be Epi, of Analysing it
2. Having a pleasant or attractive appearance:
Mercedes of Desert Candy Go look at her recipes! (drool)
3. Exhibiting courtesy and politeness:
Jeff, on The Present Truth
4. Of good character and reputation:

6. Showing sensitive discernment:
Betty of Howling in silence
7. Done with delicacy and skill:
