I love to write about anything and everything. I enjoy travel, and do so frequently, so sometimes i may be blogging from South Africa, sometimes from West Palm Beach in Florida. the possibilities are endless. I have close family and friends on three continents, I play the piano, go to gym, love to read and sometimes even find the time to watch TV. I have a son, a daughter and five gorgeous grandchildren, and I have been happily married to the same wonderful man for umpteen years.

Yes, I know you do, but I nominated you anyway because you do inspire me and I needed 15!!
Hahaha That’s really funny, Cathy. Love it.
I think these awards are more like chain letters than awards; they require wayyyyy too much work!! I’m thinking about whether I should ever accept one again.
I’m looking for a badge to that effect, to put in my sidebar.

We’ve nominated your blog for an award (or two, or three…), if you accept them. If not, just consider it a token of our esteem!
See our post at http://windagainstcurrent.com/2013/01/13/award-appreciation-we-thank-our-readers-for/
And thanks for all the awards you gave us!
Oh, Good Grief! I’m dizzy from the scroll down here!
I clicked on your Gravatar from my blog. It is linked to the Blog 24 site. There, I got interested in the artist from Africa. Then … I got all interested in the kitchen renovation and a bunch of other stuff here. I don’t know how I’ve missed all of these fascinating posts. I’ll be back to discover more soon! I love this blog. Thanks for jogging my old memory.
George
Wow, there’s an awful lot of reading, if you go so far back, George. I don’t post on the Blog 24 site any more because of all the spam. Love WordPress proper though.
Have a great day my friend. *hugs*

yes going away for 6 months takes some organizing. Can I be nosy and ask where are you going?
We have a house in Florida, so spend half the year there, to escape the hot and humid summer here.
Like us, follow the weather, it is good when you live in a big country and can do that…
You are invited to play a game of tag. A game of blog tag, and tag your are it:

Thank you so much for thinking of me. I’ll sit on it for a while, as I have a couple of other awards I haven’t got around to putting up. Maybe I can “kill three birds with one stone,” when I find the time.
I certainly get it! Even if you never get around to it, though, I hope this will draw some new visitors to your site – which I figure is the real reason for having these awards anyway!
Have a great day!
Thanks, you too.
