They like me, they really really like…wait. You thought I was eating lobster right? I’ve been traveling lately, but no, I was actually taste testing raw, vegan food. More on that later. Back to the award – Hip Hip Hooray and all that!
I’ve been awarded my very first blogging award. The Liebster is for very “…young blogs – usually of less than 200 followers but (http://tiggerrenewing.wordpress.com) stretched this a bit – and requires (you) to ask your nominees to answer some questions and I have now come up with those.. so here are the questions, and I’ve tried not to be too obvious but:” I know I was confused at first too, but it does say “young blogs” not young bloggers.
1) what is your first memory? My very first memory is of being bit by a bee under the clothes line in Victory Gardens. I was crying and called my foster mother, Nell “Mommy” for the first time. https://mountainmornings.net/2012/05/06/an-early-mothers-day/
2) what was your most embarrassing moment? Asking a rabbi’s wife if she had ever cleaned shrimp before.
3) as a teenager who was your role model? My cousin Bobby Ann. She had gorgeous, red hair and was studying speech pathology in college. She taught me to be fearless.
4) which book do you wish you had written? The one I’m still working on at the moment about the Flapper.
why? Because it will be a best seller, and it explains alot.
5) are there multiple realities? or just the one that we all experience the same? The scientist in me thinks we have the same experience, just different lenses. But sometimes I think time is fluid.
6) where [location] was your first kiss? On the Kindergarten school bus in Victory Gardens.
7) which island would you most like to live on? I’d actually love to live on Martha’s Vineyard. But then I’d be alone since Bob thinks it’s too cold.
8) when writing a thank you letter do you type or use pen and notepaper? Pen and paper.
9) paint or wallpaper in your bedroom? Paint
10) favourite nightwear? Cotton flannel nightgown. I know, too predictable for a nana.
Here is the fascinating thing about blogging. This award came from someone I don’t know in London. Which begs the question Great Aunt Bert asked me once, “Where does your blog go?” Now I must think of someone I’d like to nominate for the Liebster, and pass it on. Oh, and also figure out how to get a “meme” on my sidebar!
So thank you Elayne, I’m truly honored.
Congratulations,I agree completely. Every day I look forward to your very
smart and funny messages. Please continue keeping us “up to date” on
your activities and your very intelligent observations on our politics.
Thanks Kay! I’m always surprised when someone new subscribes to my blog. I can usually find some paradox in everyday life without much digging; maybe it’s the 2 mother yin/yang of my early childhood.
Congrats! One never knows where our blogs go.
Thanks Lisa! Now I’m singing Judy Collins “Who knows where the time goes…I do not count the time…”
I love your answers to my questions! Personally I stopped with the flannel nighties when I realised that flannel PJs weren’t as draughty – and didn’t expose parts of me in bed that got cold and didn’t ruck up and…. i was a late developer in this field I reckon as everyone young wears them.
Anyway, thanks for stopping by again and reading my blog and my award came from the US and honestly I’m not sure if the person is male or female as their name is Sage – could be either I reckon… and I get comments from all over the world, it is wonderful to feel so connected.
Thanks so much for nominating me! I’m on the hunt for the next “young” blog!!
I love your blogs!
Thank you so much Ellen, it was so great to see you again, I only wish we lived closer!
I’m looking forward to you finding some more blogs that I can look at… takes time I find to look around, so recommendations really work!
