Inspiring Blog Award!

 Thanks to Lisa Taylor of the Writer’s Block Party for giving me the Inspiring Blog Award.  I’m  part of a batch of 15 bloggers she honored.  I love what she said about my blog:  “Okay, besides the fact that this is a great blog with intelligent and humorous posts on all kinds of topics – what part of a grandma that runs and bicycles ISN’T inspiring?”

I’ll take it! Thanks, Lisa!

And in the spirit of blog awards, here are the requirements for being Inspiring: list seven tidbits about yourself, and nominate 15 other bloggers.  I’m not sure there’s much more I can reveal that I haven’t already shared in blog posts, but I’ll try.

Here goes:

1. I twist the stem off of apples and pears before eating them.
2. I grew up on a poultry farm in Connecticut.
3.  I can drive a tractor.
4. I was an AFS student in Tasmania, Australia the summer between high school and college.
5. I like tablecloths and cloth napkins.
6. I always wear an apron to cook, even if wearing schlumpy clothes.
7.  I wrote my first story in third grade. It’s still unpublished.

I’m passing the award onto bloggers I’ve found in the past six months. Check out their blogs!

I checked all the links. I got some weird “404” page not found message on some but you can just go to the blog’s home page and it opens right up.  Happy reading and be inspired!
