Award from Ganeida, Too!

Wow, two awards in one night! Thank you, Ganeida - you've made one li'l country girl very happy, and saved me from wondering what I was going to write about tonight.




Now, I have to tell you seven things about me and then pass the award on to seven other bloggers.

  1. I am basically shy, and don't find it easy to talk to people, except over the internet. It's different, though, when I get to know the person.
  2. I was always sickly, spending about 1/2 (conservatively) of my life in hospital, that is until my husband came onto the scene; he has learned how to treat my asthma and keep me out of hospital.
  3. The reason that I am here is to live my life for God. Sometimes I don't spend enough time with Him in prayer; sometimes I mess things up; sometimes I can have deep and meaningfuls with Him, but I'm glad that He forgives me my mistakes and that He's always there for me.
  4. I love playing board and card games with the children. I don't play chess - my husband does, and tried to teach me, but I think he's given up.
  5. I love gardening, but not in this weather. It has to be warm for me to venture out into the great outdoors.
  6. I ran away from home at 18 months of age. Where did I run - to the hospital where my mum gave birth to me, of course. I also filled my mum's washing machine up with sand - what a delightful child I was???
  7. Like Ganeida, I have never read Lord of the Rings. I just didn't see the sense in reading something that, to me, had no literary value - I'm sure that there are many people who'd disagree with me, though. I'd much rather read a good biography any day.
Now for the next part - selecting the award recipients:
Well, that helped to fill in the night - I was wondering what I was going to do. Perhaps I should have been tackling my mending pile, but this was way more fun. Thanks, Ganeida and Therese, too for the previous award. :)

Of Course the pic is to put up!☺ You can keep it permanently in your sidebar too if you like. It's where I keep mine as a sort of reminder when my introverted angst takes over.

I'm a fantasy reader so theoretically I should have liked LOTR ~ but I just don't. I think it's boring.

These sort of writing challenges interest me ~ How to make a list not dull! lol I find it hard so it is quite a challenge for me.

Thank you so much Jillian.

I added your blog to my following list last night. I thought I had you on there and realized you weren't there when I looked on my dash board for an update of your blog.

God bless
Therese.

Hi Ganeida,
Thank you so much - you have no idea how much this means to me, and I will definitely put it into my sidebar. :)

Your award took a LOT of thinking about because I had already done the Honest Scrap award for Therese, and I thought that I had exhausted all things about myself, but at the breakfast table this morning, my family gave me many more things about myself, such as:

I hate the wind and the rain because my hair goes really frizzy.

I hate spiders, earwigs and snakes.

There were many more, too.

Have a wonderful week.
Blessings,
Jillian

Wow! I've hardly heard of any of these blogs and now I can't wait to check them all out!

Thanks for dropping by my blog - I look forward to getting the know you and your family through the pages of yours!!

PS My hair goes frizzy in the rain too - and in the humidity as well!!

Hi Jeanne,
Thank you for calling in to see my blog. I am following yours, now.

Isn't frizzy hair a pain? Mine also is frizzy during humidity, but fortunately we don't get much of that down here.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Blessings,
Jillian
