Thank-you Melinda!!!
So here's how the award works:
First - I have to reveal several things about myself:
1. I married my high school sweetheart and we have been together totally for nearly 40 years!
2. I like to sing, especially when I'm doing my chores; my son absolutely hates it. He insists I can't sing.
3. I'm a counter, mostly when I'm measuring out large quantities, like water that doesn't have to be exact. I guess maybe I'm borderline OCD. So, how do I combat this? I sing! HA!
4. I have 4 children, 3 girls , 1 boy and 4 grandchildren, 2 girls, 2 boys. I probably would never have been nominated for mother of the year, but my kids all made it to adulthood not drug addicts and not in jail. Hey,what more would you want? They all went to college and I am proud of every one of them!
5. I'm a blog stalker. I follow 138 blogs in Blogger alone and nearly 200 total; all via Google Reader. I love to prowl the linky parties looking for new ideas.
6. I asked Gary, my husband, to list some interesting things about me and these are what he came up with. Now remember he loves me, so he may be biased.
- Very self-motivated and determined person in planning a trip, building a project, and so on.
- Loves her family, even ME!
- Flower lady and gardening (not so sure about this,'cause God does most of the work)- Smart
- Cougar
Don't ya just love that last one! He really has a sense of humor.
