How nice is that!

I just discovered that LaTonya at Detroit Mom & Her Views had awarded this blog the "Versatile Blogger Award". Please send her some hugs by heading over to her place!

Now the Rules of the Versatile Blogger Award:

1. Thanks and link back to the person who gave the award to you. (Thanks again, LaTonya!)

2. Share 7 things about yourself :

• I was born and raised just outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
• The food I miss most from my former hometown is the kaiser rolls. The ones where I live now are more like hamburger buns, but Philly ones are crusty. (Maybe it's the Schuykill River water.)
• 2012 will be full of "big numbers" for us. Hubby will turn 65. I will turn 60. And we'll have our 40 year anniversary.
• I'm allergic to moth balls.
• I used to babysit for a boa constrictor, and enjoyed wearing him around my neck to watch peoples' reactions. (I was dumber then.)
• I'm scared of centipedes (but not mice or snakes).
• My favorite veggies are asparagus, spinach, and home-grown tomatoes.

3. Pass the award on to some of YOUR favorite blogs. I'm only going to mention 5
    Here they are, in alphabetical order:

• Ask Sister Mary Martha - I have no idea if the author of this blog is a nun or not, but you'll love her, I promise!
• Catalog Living - Talk about a creative mind! This blogger sees the crazy photos that sometimes appear in catalogs or magazines and brings them to life... the life of Gary & Elaine... You've got to stop by there to see what I mean!
• Mommy's Kitchen - Recipes galore, and all of them are yummy!
• Reflections and Ruminations - A very well-written blog by Fr. Luke Fong, a priest from Singapore. He'll definitely make you reflect and ruminate, too.
• Reflections of a Paralytic - Chelsea Zimmerman's blog is inspiring on several levels. Chelsea was paralyzed from the chest down in a motor vehicle crash when she was in junior high school. Her blog is faith-filled, pro-life, and full of gratitude.
