After two and a half years of this blogging-thing, I'm still amazed that people read this. (hi, people!) And sometimes people who don't even knit read it---and believe me, that totally blows my mind. (hi, mind-boggling people!)
Because, you see, technology and I do not get along. At all. (how does this even GET into cyberspace?????) In 'accepting this award' I was to post the Sunshine Award logo and for the life of me I can't figure out how to do that. (It took two years to figure out how to change my banner photo. When I figured it out, I wanted to change it every day. I should have, because now I've forgotten how. I'm probably stuck with what I have for another two years.)
But I can do the other 'requirement'...10 things about me (here goes. skip if you are so inclined....it's rather boring):
- I love rhubarb (obsessively and passionately)
- I grew it for the first time last year and didn't share
- my husband and I graduated from high school together, but never dated there
- growing up I was never allowed to have a dog; since we married I've never been without one
- I was at Woodstock (this is NOT true, but every time we have to do those true/false games I say this, and everyone thinks it's true. I wanted to be there. Does that count?...I have a feeling it would have made rural Kenya look absolutely metropolitan)
- My Dad taught me to knit when I was about 5, but I never actually MADE anything until I was in high school (I knit the same ball of yarn over and over and over and over...I'm really a good knitter, but I'm better at ripping out.)
- My house and I were both on the cover of a magazine (I was 18 months old--on my Dad's company magazine; the house got much better press in a national country magazine)
- I majored in my 'cocktail' class in college (art history---I was pretty much unemployable until I got a graduate degree!, but I'm very comfortable in a museum)
- I suffer from incurable 'wanderlust'....I start planning another trip the moment I return from one
- I am incredibly blessed with a wonderful husband, two amazing children and their spouses, 7 grandkids who are the sunshine in my world (and the ones most deserving of any Sunshine Award), and countless friends--both 'real' and really virtual
- and, #11 (oops) I don't always follow the rules.
The other thing I was supposed to do was nominate some other blogs but I'm not good at picking and chosing among friends. Please spend just a wee bit of time browsing sites I visit in the sidebar. In my opinion, they are all winners, and far more deserving than I. ( Plus, I had a really hard time figuring out how to get them there....please don't ignore them!!)
- one last thing: I DO NOT watch Downton Abbey, but I got to play a character on it at dinner club tonight! (Dress was hubby's grandma's wedding trip dress!!)
Many thanks to Wanda for letting me play.
