A Blogging Award....

On my writing blog I have gotten several blogging awards but this is the first one for our personal blog. Wow! What an honor... These awards are great for expanding your reader base.

M.G. Edwards awarded this to us and here are the rules as passed on from his site:

1. Thank & link back to the person who nominated you. 
2. Nominate fifteen worthy blogs for the Versatile Blogger Award.
3. Post seven random things about yourself.

Okay, thank you SO MUCH, M.G. and I hope you get lots of new blogging friends and fans from this. Also, please check out his book, Kilimanjaro: One Man's Quest to Go Over the Hill From his book description: "This book chronicles the author's attempt to summit Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa. At forty years old and on the verge of a midlife crisis, he tried to change his life by climbing a mountain. This book is for climbers and hikers interested in climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and for anyone who feels over the hill and needs to make a life change."

Okay, now for seven random things - you're stuck with ones about me since Stu isn't writing today. ;-)

1. I love greens - spinach, turnip greens, mustard greens, brussel sprouts. Even as a kid! Also, green olives, even as a kid. I loved to drink the green olive juice, too.
2. I was painfully shy until my 30's when finally the corporate world helped me deal with new people. I still get on "people overload" at times and need a little time off.
3. Most of my life I have disliked the color orange. Now I like it, go figure...LOL!
4. I never had a nickname growing up. I acquired my nickname when I started riding a motorcycle. Long story...another day. 
5. I've never been athletic, not as a kid and not as an adult. I was the one always picked last.
6. Most of my life I've only had one close friend at a time. Lots of acquaintances, not a lot of friends. Blame it on the shyness?
7. I hate formal night on cruises. I'm there to relax and getting dressed up for me is NOT relaxing. LOL!

Now for the 15 blogs...this is tough, I follow so many and on so many topics. Soooo, if you are a blogger and you are reading this blog, please feel free to:

1. Post a comment with your blog link and a brief description of topic
2. Copy the image above and save it to post on YOUR blog
3. Use the rules above in your blog (award it the way you prefer)

Simple, right? But no claiming it without a comment, that's how new readers are going to find you. Enjoy!!

Till next time - keep on rollin',
Donna and Stu
