The Liebster Award

Recently, one of my blog friends, A French Yummy Mummy in London nominated me for this award, to recognize and promote blogging and bloggers. I am very honored to have been nominated by her. The award requires you to answer 11 questions about yourself, ask 11 questions of bloggers you tag and tag 11 blogs you read and encourage those 11 people to tag 11 more bloggers with questions.  Here are the 11 questions that were asked of me.  I am thrilled to have new blogs to read and follow and hope that you enjoy some of the ones I tag.
1.     Why do you blog?
         It started as an online journal, I type faster than I write and I had been encouraged to journal to relieve stress.
 
2.     What makes you happy?
         Having my grandchildren visiting.
3.     Where do you live?
        In the rural Southwest Virginia, but I grew up in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
4.     What is your favourite food?
         Chocolate, dark and rich.
5.     How do you relax?
         I knit, spin on an Australian made spinning wheel, organically garden, and watching my silly chickens when I let them out of their pen to free range, or take long walks with hubby and the dogs.
6.     If you could jump in a plane right away, where would you go?
        There are many places I would like to see, I have never been outside of the USA except Canada and Mexico, so my list would include the UK, Greece, and Australia.
7.     What helps you to write?
         I only write when I am moved to do so, but getting comments on my blog encourages me to continue. Often my blog revolves around a photo or several that I have taken related to our homestead farm or one of my crafts.
8.     What was 2013 main highlight so far?
         Celebrating with most of my extended family for my Dad’s 90th birthday and the baptism of two of our grandchildren the same week in the same location.
9.     What are your plans for 2014?
         Adding more critters to our homestead and traveling more, if we find someone who will house sit for us and deal with those critters.
 
10. How do you see yourself in 10 years?
In 10 years I will be a very senior citizen and hope that I am still active and independent then. 
11. And finally, what would you do if you won the lottery tomorrow?

 

Each of our children have incurred educational debt and I would give each of them enough to pay off their student debt and pay down or make a down payment on a house of their own.

Now here are my questions for my nominees and though I read many blogs each day, several are so widely published that the authors would not participate and several are ones that French Yummy Mummy also tagged, so my list will not be 11 long.
1. Why do you blog?

2. If you craft, what is your favorite crafting, if you don’t, what might you like to learn?

3. If you had the means to go anywhere in the world for dinner, where would you go?

4. What would that meal be?

5. What is the favorite book you have read?

6. Where do you live?

7. Are animals part of your life, if so what you do have?

8. What is the highlight of 2013 for you so far?

9. What do you hope to do in 2014?

10. How do you relax?

11. What is the best job you have ever had?

Now for the blogs I read and wish to nominate for this award.
