Dedicated stylish bloggers

There's nothing like being a blogger and knowing you've been read...

Sometimes you wonder if anyone reads.... you usually get the same 4 -5 people who comment who you sooooo appreciate, but you often wonder.... Is anyone reading.

I got a nice surprise today from someone I've never met, but I've heard a lot about. Her name is Jill http://chillinwithjill.blogspot. (she is the sister of one of my good friends). She gave me this very nice award called the "stylish blogger award". I was humbled and pleased all at the same time. Thank you for your kind words Jill and now I have another blogger friend to add to my reads.

The rules say that I must tell you 7 things about myself that you didnt already know. This could be hard, lets see what I can come up with...

1. When I was a little girl I wanted so much to be a boy.

2. I played on a boys baseball team until I was 13.

3. As I age I'm discovering that I'm not the extrovert I used to be

4. I married my one and only boyfriend...that was almost 29 yrs ago.

5. I went to college to play volleyball & Softball, nursing was my "minor"

6. I would LOVE maintain the grounds of small businesses/parks for a profession

7. I see nature as Gods artwork... I marvel in it, and love taking photo's of nature
