I’m so excited to announce that my friend from the Bestintentionsmom blog has nominated me for the fabulous Versatile Blogger Award! *note the lovely green icon below*
I want to thank her from the bottom of my heart and hope I can think of 7 things to tell her about myself:
- I became a grandmother for the first time 10 days ago.
- I was a teenage mother.
- I left my career for 2 and ½ years to care for my dying father.
- I can raise one eyebrow like Dr. Spock.
- I have an extensive (my husband would say exhaustive) collection of religious icons in my dining room.
- My favorite ice cream flavor is vanilla.
- I have an unnatural attraction to drinking glasses with graphics on them.
In return, I would like to nominate the following blogs for the award as well. If you are listed, please pass it on to your favorite 15 bloggers.
