LIEBSTER AWARD


Nancy Powell and Bethany Brower, from Powell Brower Home nominated me for the Liebster Award this morning.  It is such an honor.  It also is a wonderful way to meet new friends from all over the world.  The talent that is "out there" is amazing!  It surprises me daily!  Every day  I find new bloggers with wonderful, informative, fabulous blogs 

So here goes!

The rules are as follows:
1. Post 11 facts about yourself.
2. Answer the 11 questions your nominator asks and then create 11 questions for the bloggers you nominate.
3. Choose 11 people with under 200 followers to nominate and link to them.
4. Go to their pages and let them know. (no tag backs)

 Following are 11 facts that describe or are about me.  

1. I am going to be 72 on November 6th!  This fact doesn't make me happy!

 
2. I married my High School Sweetheart 53 years ago this past July.  We met when I was 15 and he was 17.

3. We  have three children, two sons and a daughter..and  6 grandchildren, 5 granddaughters and one grandson.

4. I can't draw a thing.....

5.  I hate to admit this but my "exercise" is house cleaning!  Yes, I'm one of those nuts that cleans the house everyday, top to bottom.  Do I think I'm normal....of course I'm normal!

6. My husband and I have lived in 35 homes during our marriage.  I was a Realtor in New Construction and always fell in love with the homes I was selling!

7. I have a hard time with the summer heat and the winter cold!  Yes, I am truly an INDOOR GIRL.
Does this explain my passion for INTERIOR DESIGN!

8.  As a child I was great at Jump Rope and Skating, both Roller and Ice!  I told my children I was a Professional Figure Skater in my "Previous Life"!  Not good at any sport associated with the use of a ball.  I was the one the gym captains picked LAST.  Oh I hated Gym!

9. I am constantly changing our furniture around!  Nothing stays the same for very long.  A week is a long time without something changing.

10. I have loved Interior Design since a small girl.  Never realized that I could do something with this passion....my one regret.

11. I appreciate my husband, who is known to all who read Patty's Epiphanies as MC, so very much.  What I put him through .......

  10. I enjoyed learning more about you, sweet lady. I think we have lots in common especially #7. I can't tolerate crazy cold or crazy hot weather. I very much prefer the indoors, that's why I am into interior design as well. :)

    I am amazed at the amount of houses you have lived in. Over 35 houses? Unbelievable. You are over 70 years old now? That's equally unbelievable too. I thought you are in your late 50s or early 60s! You have to share with us your beauty secrets, Patty. Sharing is caring, my friend. :)

    Enjoy the rest of your day!
