Award

I received The Fabulous Sugar Doll Blogger Award from sweet Annalisa @ Cooking Easy . If you are interested in wonderful Italian cooking then rush over to her blog for some delicious recipes.

And here are the rules for the award:
1. Post the AWARD.
2. Don't forget to mention the person who gave you the AWARD.
3. Tag and distribute the AWARD to 10 Fabulous Sugar Dolls.
4. Write 10 fabulous things about yourself that you want to share with other Fabulous Sugar Dolls.
5. Don’t forget to notify the your Fabulous Sugar Dolls about their AWARD and post a link to their blog.

Mmmmm 10 fabulous things that I want to share with you. I suppose I could air all the family's dirty laundry with you. But I am waiting for an offer from a TV producer to make the mini-series. So for now you are only going to hear mundane pieces of interest. And here they are:

1. I am still very much in love with my husband. It's been 39 very interesting years we have shared together. In that time, we raised a daughter into a person that I'm extremely proud of. She in turn married a man that we are thrilled to call Son. And they gave us the gift of a wonderful grandson.

2. My blog has been a great motivator. How easy it could be to sit back in this stage in my life and do nothing. Instead I have pushed myself to try new recipes and learn from my mistakes on how to create an interesting blog ( I still have much to learn). But how thankful I am that I took the big step of exposing myself to the world, for I have made so many wonderful new friends from all over the globe. And I have discovered that food is the common denominator.

3. I was raised in the back woods of the Appalachian Mountains. The oldest daughter of 8 children. I am also a twin, he is one of my 6 brothers. My sister and I are still very close despite the fact that I live 1000 miles away.

4. During my life I have painted murals, baked scads of cakes and cookies as extra income while I worked at a local department store, processing the data of incoming orders.

5. I love to sew, especially costumes. My daughter also shares this thrill.

6. I love grocery stores. Yeah I know it's kind of weird. But I love to go into all kinds of stores, little, big, ethnic, specialty, and just browse the shelves. Again my daughter shares this thrill.

7. I love living in the deep south. It has been a place I call home for the past thirty year. And it will always be the place I call home.

8. I love gardening. Although since our last move, when we decided to downsize, our yard is much smaller. I still have the room to exercise my green thumb.

9. A good book is still a great companion for me. It is a wonderful luxury to curl up with a warm throw and become one with a story.

10. I know that you can teach an old dog new tricks. And I have much more that I want to learn.

Here is where I am to share the award with other worthy bloggers. Unfortunately, today, I have no time to do that. So I will post them at a later date.

Thank you again Annalisa for bestowing this award on silly old me.
