Sentimental Serendipity



Earlier this week one of my good blogging buddies - Ruth Schiffmann - blessed me with three awards.
A big "thank-you" to Ruth!

To receive The Booker Award the blog must be at least 50% about books (reading or writing). And you must list your five favorite books.

My Five Favorite Books:

1- A Tale of Two Cities, by Charles Dickens
2- Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott
3- The Wind in the Willows, by Kenneth Grahame
4- Outlander, by Diana Gabaldon
5- Unbroken, by Laura Hillenbrand




The Fabulous Blog Ribbon is also about Fives.

Five Fabulous Moments:

1- Meeting my sweetheart, now husband, Michael.
2- Holding each of my three sons after they were born.
3- Watching two of my three sons graduate from college.
    (The third is a senior.)
4- Canoeing on Lake Quinault at sunset with my husband.
5- Meeting the wonderful writers at the SCBWI Oregon Retreat last year.

Five Things I Love:

1- The times our family can all be together.
2- Reading a good book, while drinking a cup of hot coffee.
3- Walking in the woods with only the evergreen trees to keep me
     company.
4- Going out to dinner with my husband.
5- A great surprise.

Five Things I Dislike:

1-  A solicitor's call. (I just had one!)
2- When people are late without reason.

4- Cooking.
5- Balancing my checkbook.



For the Kreativ Blogger Award you must list seven random things about yourself.

Here are my somewhat surprising seven:

1- My hair is extremely frizzy. (Ever heard of Roseanna Roseanna Danna?)
2- I am a R.D.H. (Registered Dental Hygienist)  I like writing better!
3- I was a high school cheerleader. (I know, hard to believe!)
4- I have visited the Holy Land.
5- I am impatient, but working on it.
6- I play the flute and the clarinet. (Not very well anymore!)
7- I still live in my hometown. (My parents and siblings have all moved -
    do you think that means anything?) HeHe!

Here are the five blogging buddies that I am passing these awards on to:

1- Kriston Johnson
2- Christy Peterson
3- Loree Huebner
4- Sara Bowers
5- Linda Jackson

Thanks for visiting Writ of Whimsy - hope you're having a great summer!
