The Stylish and Trendy Blogger Awards

  Evening Sweet Friends,

How is your weekend going?

I was just sitting reading some email and 

deciding to check my blog to see if I had

 any visit from you guys,  and lo and behold 

I had a wonderful and such an unexpected 

surprise!!

Really had no plans for blogging today,
but 

I truly want to thank Cas over at

an Oasis in the desert

 for thinking of me and presenting me with

not one but two sweet blogger awards. 

  What a pleasant shock,  and a real 

encouragement.

Thanks again so much Cas........

and in case you would like to go over and 

visit her too.  Click here

These are the 

Rules for accepting this award :

1. Link back to the person who gave you this award.

2. Share 7 things about yourself.

3. Pass it along to 7 other stylishly and trendy bloggers.

4. Contact those bloggers and tell them about their award.

So I will have to think about 7 things to share

with you that you don't know.  hummm!

1. I am the product of a single parent home.
       I lived the school year with my Mom, grand-
          mother and brother in Pensacola, Florida, and

         spent summers  with my Dad and step family,

 and grand-parents in KeyWest, Florida.

        2.  Hubby and I have lived in the same house and
                      gone to the same church for over 30 years now.

   

    3.   I married when I was 18 1/2 years old to the 

           the love of my life, and we just celebrated our

40th Anniversary in November.

         4.  I am the only person in my family that has not

           been divorced, and I consider that a huge

blessing from God.

        5.  I love love love romantic comedies,  and try
          to watch them often!!  Fortunately,  for me 
         so does hubby.  One of our favs is "you've
          got mail"  with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan.

    6.  I was on a tenickling team when I was in Jr.

     High School.   Tenickling is a type of pole 

            dancing,  Not the present day type,

 for sure!! lol

      It is 2 bamboo poles held near the ground,

and they bang them on the ground then

together, to the beat of the music, and

there is a choreographed dance to go

along with it, where you are dancing in

         and out of the poles.  It was fun, you'll

 have to take my word for it!!  lol

7.  When I was in my early 20's I was a 

                 calendar girl because I did some modeling 

with products from a Company 

    I worked for called Bendix Avionics. 

             No big Bucks, just $1.00 in order to sign a

release form. lol

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now comes the fun, yet  very hard part........
to pick 7 bloggers to receive these awards
 as well.  Ten of you got the Sunshine award
 from me last year at this time,  (I actually 
looked it up) so because I like to try and be
 fair and to spread the encouragement around
 I decided to pick different bloggers this go
 round.....but still ladies that come by often and leave
 sweet, genuine and encouraging comments, and that
 also inspire me. There are many of you who fit that
 description that is what makes it so hard because
 many of you have really Wonderful blogs,  and a
few of you were already on Cas's list, 
 so know that if this happens again you will
 probably be on my list the next time!!
So without further adieu,  Drum Roll Please....
  here they are:
They are in order of how long we
have been friends.
