Recently I was honored (and I truly mean honored) by JenniferChow.  She kindly nominated me for the Versatile Blogger Award.  (sniff, sniff, tear)  Thank you Jennifer very much.  Visit her blog and show her some love.

According to the rules, I must
list 15 blogs worth discovering and reveal 7 things about myself.  So please check out the following valuable blogs.  You can learn more about me at the end of this post.

Now to reveal 7 things about myself.

1, I have raced a quarter midget racecar (and loved it!).
2, I love to fish.
3, I wear baseball caps every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (dress code at work will not allow me to wear them the rest of the week).
4, I have a No Drama rule at my house.  You bring drama you DO NOT cross my doorway.
5, I have five grandchildren and one more on the way (already nicknamed Bean).
6, I refuse to act my age and I refuse to grow up (life is more fun this way).
7, I have trained Service Dogs for the hearing impaired.

And one more, just because.
8, I have a no internet access rule on the weekends because that is my time with my family.

Thanks for reading and THANKS AGAIN JENNIFER!!

    Thank you Brooke. I am truly amazed and honored. :-O Now I must retire to choose 15 (really??? 15??)talented and versatile people to whom I can pass the torch, then decide what 7 facts to reveal. My next post day for Reading to Write is a week away. I should be able to accomplish all by then.

    Congrats! Love reading about my fellow bloggers. I also have 5 grandchildren with one on the way (but no 'bean' nomenclature so far), and we raised a breeder for the Guide Dogs, Torie, who was the love of our lives for the 12 years she lived. And she birthed a total of 12 other little Guide Dog goldens.

    You're very welcome, Brooke! Love how you didn't conform and added eight items to your list. Weekend family time sounds great... I don't know if I could do it, though.

    Thank you so much! I have to admit #5 threw me because I guessed you were 29. Then #6 came along and made it all clear!

    Hi, Brooke and thanks a lot! I'm truly thrilled to be awarded so many blogger awards this year.
    However, I made it my rule to accept only one per year, or they will get similar to chain letter and lose their value.
    Thanks again and best of luck writing and popularising!
    Best, M.

    3. I stand 5 feet 4 inches tall, the tallest women of my generation in my family!
    4. French bread and brie lure me to indulge on special occasions, maybe I should be a food writer!
    5. You can find me walking on the beaches with my two favorite men
    6. I'm also an artist
    7. I lived on two different continents and in five different places before I was five years old.
