Kreative Blogger Award
Karen Anne Brady of Ireland Brady bestowed upon me the "Kreative Blogger Award".
Part of accepting the award means I have to share 7 random, but well thought out facts about myself. So here goes:
1. I am generally a happy and positive person.
2. I am a health nut. I don't drink alcohol, smoke, buy junk food or eat
or drink anything with sugar in it (except whole fruits) or eat any
processed foods (except organic potato chips and Triscuits once in a
great while).
3. I make most of the presents I give away at Christmas.
4. I'd wear some version of Renaissance attire all of the time if people
didn't look at me funny (except when on hiking trips, long distance
travel or playing sports -- hard to do those activities in long
gowns!).
5. I love old architecture. I feel much more comfortable in older
buildings and in older neighborhoods than in new buildings (it's hard to
love boxy glass and steel structures).
6. I was a long distance swimmer as a child.
7. I love hiking and discovering things and places on foot away from traffic.
In accepting this award there are a few rules (which allow some leeway to be broken: check out the parentheses below):
When one receives this honor, there are a few rules they can (or not) choose to follow:
1. Post a link to the person who awarded you
2. Share 7 well-thought out random things about yourself
3. Bestow this Award to 10 other deserving bloggers and let them know.
1. Post a link to the person who awarded you
2. Share 7 well-thought out random things about yourself
3. Bestow this Award to 10 other deserving bloggers and let them know.
I am going to break the 3rd rule because I don't follow or read many
blogs (except news and political blogs, but I'm not going to count them
in). I'm sticking to art and music blogs:
1. Karen at Ireland Brady -- yup, I'm giving the award right back to her because I read everything she writes.
2. AnnMarie at AnnMarieTornabene -- because I read all of her blogposts as well (her website is well worth checking out too at www.AnneMarieTornabene.net).
3. Abby at MinstrelTales. Abby
hasn't written much on her blogger, but she was an active blogger on
Myspace for years (before MySpace disappeared and came back, that is!).
She tells what it is like to be a traveling Renaissance minstrel in the
modern world.
4. Terrance Frank Lazaroff of EtsyExtension. Frank is a gifted potter and shares tips on the business of selling crafts.
I also sometimes read the blogs of this musician and artist (more well known):
5. Jo at TheCartBeforetheHorse. Soft sculpture and dolls and lots of creativity!
6. Lisa Lynne at LisaLynneFranco. Harpist sharing concert videos, pictures of her travels and the story of finding her birth mother.

Part of accepting the award means I have to share 7 random, but well thought out facts about myself.
So here goes:
1. I am a bibleophile and read at least two books a week...sometimes more. I speed read-my Grandmother
Townsend taught me how when I was young and I average 200 pages an hour.
2. Hate raw tomatoes...love pasta sauce, salsa, ketchup but raw tomatoes? Nope.
3. I have loved only two men unreservedly (not counting relatives)...Jay is the second man I have loved
that way. No holds barred and damn the torpedoes! Our relationship is the best relationship I have
ever had. I know all of you have already figured that out! The other man? A boyfriend from college.
4. I am a strong believer in learning new songs 'by ear'. It is my favorite way to learn most songs with
the exception of some of the faster Irish jigs. Those I really need to SEE how the runs and skips go!
I think one of the great joys of playing an instrument is figuring out how to play a song without the
music-whether you are a amateur or a pro!
5. I love to jam with other musicians! No surprise there right? There is such a fun vibe when we get
together with other players and just jam!
6. Random-I used to go on very long walks through the woods when I was younger, hoping to see the
Fey and telling myself stories about them...and going on imaginary adventures...I still go on long
walks and hope to see the Fey!
7. My life since I met Jay has been filled with adventures-some happy, some harrowing, some sad but I
wouldn't trade ANY of it!
I'm with you all the way on preferring older architecture, my home was built in 1920 and its sturdiness and warmth have been hugging and protecting us since we moved in back on 10/1/1970.
I'm off to visit your bloggers' .... I'm sure they will all be delightful! Thanks!
