Stylish Award


Last month I was awarded the “Stylish Award” from follow blogger, JJ, of The Joy of Horses. I’m sorry I am taking so long to acknowledge this. I’ve been gone a lot this past month. Thank you so much, JJ, for reading my blog and thinking that I am “Stylish”. I think that is so funny because I have never felt that I was in “style” as a kid.

The rules are as follows:

1. Thank and link back to the person who awarded you this award. Thank you, JJ! And I am really sorry this has taken so long to thank you!

2. Share 7 things about yourself.

3. Award 15 recently discovered great bloggers.

4. Contact these bloggers and tell them about the award!

OK, here are 7 things about myself:

1. I grew up in PA, now live in Nebraska, and I’m married to Tom for almost 30 years (this year), have 3 children, and 2 grandchildren, with one on the way in April.

2. I teach riding lessons and train horses, and try to teach people how to get along with horses.

3. I’m riding CTR’s, Competitive Trail Rides, now, after years at being at Quarter Horse shows with the kids. I want to add Endurance Riding this year. Maybe someday, I’ll get to Tevis.

4. I want to live in the mountains. Or at least have hills and trees around me. For those that don’t know, PA is hilly and Nebraska is flat.

5. I love flowers, photography, and the country, and everything that goes along with country living.

6. I want to get an Australian Shepherd Blue Merle Female puppy, just because I like that color and that breed!

7. Something about me…hmmm…maybe a little bit of a perfectionist, maybe a little impatient (but I’m working on that), maybe a little emotional (and more so with age), but also honest and truthful, probably to a fault. I try to look for the good and not the bad.

MY 15 STYLISH FOLLOW BLOGGERS ARE:

Thank you. It's good to get to know you better.

Aw, thank you for considering me one of your stylish bloggers! That's sweet.

Now forget those mountains! I lived in Ferrum, Virginia where it was very hilly and mountainous. It was beautiful. But it was terrible for horsekeeping! I'm in central Virginia now where it's flatter but it's still hilly because it's Virginia. Very pretty. But I am longing to go back to Jersey where it was flat and sandy!

Thank you on the sharing the award! I appreciate it! You have had a very busy month, so I can't say as you were being bad to not follow through on it sooner! Hope this next month is a little calmer for you, and a little warmer too! BTW..your book find for $11...what a deal! Can't beat that!

Far Side of Fifty said...
