Award & Tag

It is so HAZY HOT and HUMID in New York today! We do need some summer wind to cool us down!

(I also had a long dentist appointment today, so I have to apologize that I have not been able to visit blogs today to leave comments. I hope to catch up tomorrow! )

Diane, of the pretty blog A Picture is Worth A Thousand Words presented me with the pretty "Brillante Weblog" award this weekend!

Thank you, Diane, for thinking about me, and presenting this award to my blog! It came at a perfect time to cheer me up!

Diane shares her life in Mississippi as a retired teacher and grandmother extraordinaire to two adorable little boys, and her talents and interests in antiques, crafts, scrapbooks, and photography!



Edited to add: Tara of the sweet blog "Days Missed On A Hammock" also gave me the same award today! Thank you Tara! Tara has a wonderful family and lots of zest for life, decorating, parenting, and we are in the progress of doing virtual exercises together to get into shape!

I don't see any "rules" attached to this award, so I'd love to pass this on to a few blogs who I'd love for you to take some time to visit, if you aren't already familiar with them! I always enjoy visiting them, learning new things from them, and they always make me smile!

Kathy, at Have Suitcase Will Travel

Melanie at JellyBeanAngel

Steviewren at a little birdie told me so

Louise at Home Is Where The Heart Is

Tracy at The Pink Purl

Marina at Only Cute Things

Enjoy this beautiful award ladies, and please feel free to pass it on to other blogs that you would like to introduce to others!

I've also been tagged by Cori at the soothing blog Gingerbread Crumbs & Company. Cori has a beautiful blog which displays her many wonderful projects and crafts, and her daily life in Southern California, and the tenets of her strong Christian faith.

Here's the rules of this tag:

1. Link to the person who “tagged” you.

2. Post the rules on your blog.

3. Write six random things about yourself.

4. Tag six people at the end of your post.

5. Let each person know that they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

6. Let the tagger know your entry is up.

I've done something like this before, but of course there are always many things that others may not know about us!

Here are six random facts about me today:

1) I've owned, (or rather been owned by), a cat almost my entire life

2) I don't know how to swim.

3) I was once a passenger on the Cunard ocean liner Queen Mary 2.

4) I met my husband on a ski trip 35 years ago!

5) I love to garden, but have to grow everything in containers or pots as I have no soil in my backyard.

6) I love foreign films with subtitles. Watching them is a little like reading a book in 3-D.

Since I'm supposed to choose 6 bloggers to play along, I'm tagging the same six whom I presented the above award!

I hope they will all join in with the fun!
