The Illuminating Blogger Award and the One Lovely Blog Award

I am so touched to have had two people give me awards just yesterday. It always touches me to have people who read my blog think it is worthy of an award. I am most humbled by their gesture. I know some people think the blog awards are meaningless but to me…they are the  highest honor there is for you all are the ones that read my blog and that makes you the best judges of all. Thank you from my heart.

I am going to combine these two …..so here goes:

Interesting fact about myself:  I drove a Semi at one time. 🙂 I am a believer in getting out there and trying things if you really want to do it and so took the truck driving course and drove a semi.

7 Facts about myself:

1. I have a wicked sense of humor and love to laugh…even at myself

2. I have to hide the remote to my hospital bed from my dog because he likes to push the buttons and wake me up in the middle of the night thinking God is taking me to heaven.

3. At one time I canned and baked all our food and we only bought staples like flour, etc from the store.

4. I believe you are the master of your own happiness.

5. I traveled to Italy a few years ago with a church group. It was the most awesome experience and is a dream of mine to return.

6. I do not like to eat out. I prefer to know what I am eating LOL

7. “Julie and Julia”  is my favorite movie because I just love Julia Child.
