awards, oh how lovely

amidst the posting of my

30 for 30 remix challenge

i was given some bloggie awards

from some pretty sweet peeps!

Katie and Beth how sweet are you two?

thanking you doesn't seem like enough!

Katie gave me three awards;

oh my goodness, how nice and sweet are these?

then a couple days later

Beth bestowed on me the

Versatile Blogger award!

wow...

i am not sure how deserving of these awards i am

but i do so appreciate them

and am reminded of sally field...'you like me, you really like me'

i never in a million years would have

ever thought

when i started blogging

that

i would have anyone but family

that would be interested in what

i had to say

and so

i humbly accept them

now the rules...

i love katie's attitude

she is a rule breaker

and i plan to follow suit! ;)

i will however thank katie and beth for the lovely awards...you know i love ya!

the hard part is the things about me and gifting the awards...

five things about me you may not know?

1. popcorn is my comfort food. it reminds me of all that was good about my dad! he made it almost every night after dinner and he and i would sit and eat a whole, huge bowl by ourselves...

2. i am a fair weather person, if i could i would live some place where it was always warm & sunny

3. i have three grown daughters...yes, i said THREE girls! my hubs and i raised three amazing girls and lived to tell the tale! :) of course there were days when i though i might not! LOL

4. my husband and i along, with ALL 3 of our girls... all went to and graduated from the SAME HIGH SCHOOL!

5. i moved to washington when i was 10, when i was about 13 i told my mom & dad i would NEVER, EVER marry a stinky dairy farmer...because when we drove around it always smelled like cow poo...and guess what i did? i fell in love and married a dairy farmer boy! LOL

five friends, take one or all three of these awards if you please!

now i could go on and on with the awards

it is so terribly hard to choose blogs

i want you to know that i admire and am so inspired

each and every day by so many blogs

and feel like i have made some great friends

please know this is hard for me to choose.

with that i will just sign off by saying;

have an awesome day 

may you remember

that by giving someone

one of your smiles today

it might be the only good and happy gift

they receive all day!
