11th day of thanks

Happy Veteran's Day




Today I am thankful for
the flag and what it represents
for freedom fought for me
for my Dad and others
who wore a uniform and fought
to keep us safe and free


I am thankful for my friends
for coffee dates with my
lovely friend, Robyn B...
oh how wonderful


I am thankful today that
I was given my first blogger award
and not once but twice from
two different 'blog friends' Shawn at:  http://coloradobeckers.blogspot.com/
and Empty Nester at :http://emptynest1.blogspot.com/
thank you both so very much.
I am truly humbled!

Rules for accepting this award are:


1. Thank & link back to the person who awarded you this.

2. Share 7 things about yourself.

3. Pay it forward to 15 recently discovered great bloggers.

so here we go...7 things? Really...okay...

1. I moved every year of my life until I was in 6th grade.
one year I went to 3 different schools!
2. I HATE being cold!
3. I love clothes, fashion, hair trends and decorating my home.
4. Love to bake not so much cook but, baking is another story...
5. Books are my best friend
6. I have a love/hate relationship with the holidays...pressure and stress
 takes some of the joy away when it should be: Jesus the reason, for the season.
7. I am a C... I am a CH,  I am a CHRISTIAN! :)

now that wasn't too hard...now comes hard stuff...pick 15 blogs? Oh my...
in no particular order...

Thank you Melody Mae,
I am always a little surprised and happy to know people other than family and friends come to read my silliness. I hope to continue blogging in a way that will honour this kind award. I have taken your breast cancer "click a day badge" with me. My sister in law is a survivor for four years now. I am so glad I found it. What great inspiration you are!
Thank you,
Dana from Bungalow'56
