Honest Scrap Award - Me Me Me

I am excited and so appreciative to have received my first blog award from Sandy and Joe at Rhubarb Reign http://rhubarb-reign.blogspot.com/ . Rhubarb Reign is one of my favorite blog spots and one day, I hope to meet Sandy and Joe at one of their shows. Who knows, it could happen. Well on to the award, I have been bestowed with the Honest Scrap Award.



The Honest Scrap Award states that I must share 10 things about myself that not many people know, and then must select 7 other bloggers to be so honored. So here goes:


1. I have moved 19 times in my life. 17 of those relocations were part of a 29 year marriage to a DOD employee. I'm a natural born gypsy and am always looking forward to my next adventure.


2. I wore a pair of white hot pants under my high school graduation gown. Hey, it was 1972 and navy tights and white hot pants were all the rage.


3. My baby sister and I can get to laughing so hard that we become a quivering mass of shaking and cannot speak as we gulp for air. When we do speak, all we say, is "Stop, it hurts" and continue laughing.


4. I went skydiving at age 19 and was one of the first 10 women to jump out of plane at a southern jump school's location in 1973.


5. As a teenager, I wanted to be a backup dancer for Tina Turner. Hey, we all have our big dreams.


6. I lived in Taejon, South Korea for 3 and half years and took a weekly, Korean aerobics class. I was one of 3 other American women in a class of locals. It was hilarious and fun.


7. I belonged to a 4-H group in New Jersey; the name of our group was, The Eager Beavers...yes, that really was the name. We sewed tea towels and aprons enthusiastically in the 1960s.


8. As a little girl, I and some school buddies were rescued from a hurricane storm in a Mr. Softee truck. Mr. Softee let us eat ice cream all the way home.


9. I can still get into my wedding dress from 1975...as long as I don't have to pull it up over my knees.

10. I am a crack shot with an air rifle and used to shoot the Christmas lights off the floating tree in our pond in Minnesota.


So enough about me and here are 7 blogs that I enjoy and follow and would like to know a little bit more about the posters so I bestow the Honest Scrap Award to:

You always have such positive thoughts to share with others. I'm very proud of you. It is obvious your life is much more than dinner at 6:00 and in bed by 10:00. What a rich, wonderful life.

Hi Sea Witch! Thanks for chosing me for the Honest Scrap Award. I'll try to honor it soon.

Thats a pretty good list you have there. More exciting than mine would be! I'm definitely not one for moving around a lot. I'm more of a squatter. Oh how I wish I could still fit into my wedding dress!

love your list....what a fun sea witch you are....ann

Jacque said...

What an adverturous life for a sea witch! I love your list but my fave has to be the skydiving. The only way I would jump out of a plane was if I thought it was going to save my life--then, I'd have to think twice about it. I share your grief with the wedding dress..LOL

Have a great weekend!
