Awards for Bloggers

Many thanks to Annie Boreson for presenting me with the ‘Blog on Fire’ award.  She was deservedly honored and is sharing the bounty.  As a recipient, my duty is to share seven things about myself that you may not know. 

1.  My jobs have ranged from Elizabeth Arden consultant, USPS, Building Materials Salesperson, to Cemetery Offiice.  The last one tends to make people do a double take, but I learned something valuable from every one of these.

2.  I’ll try eating anything once.  This includes turkey nuts -(no I did not know what they were until I had already sampled them), seaweed soup, Morton Bay Bugs – (it’s an Australian thing), and I am pretty sure I had something stuffed in an intestine in France.  But it was delicious, so who cares!

3.  I can drive almsot anything even if it is a stick shift and this includes farm equipment.

4.  I wrote my first novel at age nine when stuck indoors due to an illness.  I used pink ink and scribbled the story of my alter ego who slipped out of the window and into another realm where I could be and do everything that I was restricted from.  I’ve been writing ever since.

5.  My grandmother taught me how to knit and crochet, though I rarely – ok, never – use this talent.

6.  I can still twirl a rifle and know this for sure as the director of our marching band bequeathed the rifle I used to me.

7.  When people ask me what I collect, I answer ‘memories’.  That is also what I ask for on gift receiving occasions.  Forget the chatchskis, bric-a-brac, and jewelry.  I want trips and poems and good books.

But there are ten other sites deserving of awards in my opinion, and these would be those.

1.  Janet

2.  Lee

3.  Corey

5.  Vonnie

6.  MJ

These are all great sites and I hope you will visit.  I apologize in advance if I made mistakes with the links.  They are sometimes tricky little boogers!
