One Hundred

One Hundred times I have logged on and finished with hitting “publish”.  I haven’t done it much lately, what with leaky roofs sending my computer into ICU the Apple Store for a new logic board. I decided to celebrate my ONE HUNDRETH post with some special stuff.
While I was at the shore a sweet new internet friend awarded me my first bloggy award. I did send her an email way back when thanking her for it but I never mentioned it here, mainly because I did not have access to my computer. (I am a Mac-snob and disdained having to check my email on my husband’s PC, so there was no way I was going to actually POST FROM IT.)
SO, thank you Hyacynth over at Undercover Mother  for my first blog award, the Cherry on Top Award.

A few requirements for accepting it is:


1. Thanking the one who blessed you with it
2. Writing 3 things about yourself
3. Posting a favorite photo {I could not do that from my hubby’s computer either.}
4. Pass it on, tag a few people you want to give it to.
So three things about myself:

1. I absolutely loath spiral bound books. It doesn’t matter if it is a church hymnal, a kid’s notebook for school, a spiral bound journal, or a cookbook. THE PAGES ALWAYS TEAR OUT AND THE WIRE ALWAYS GETS BENT, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO PROPERLY OPEN IT. (Sorry, just complaining again stating the obvious.)

2. I would like to live on the water’s edge someday… maybe lakeside in Maine? a loche in Scotland? or somewhere close to the ocean…


3. I hoard arts and craft supplies, from expensive water color paint, to stamp art stuff (that I don’t know how to use ~ hey! it was a great deal at a yard sale!!! ), to  quilting fabric (I haven’t quilted or pieced anything in 11  years but I could look at beautiful fabric all day long.)


My favorite photo: (this was a hard one…)
New spring growth, on Old Rag Mountain.

And people I would like to pass it on to…
Corrine at Trains, Tutus, and Teatime
Dawn at Beyond Grace
Amy at Daily Pleasures
Jo at Mylestones
I enjoy each of these ladies blogs.


ANOTHER SPECIAL THING…
I created a facebook page for my blog. Stop by and don’t forget to click on “like”.


We adopted another fur-covered daughter this past week.




Her name is Mango. I keep having to remind the kids to love on Carmel too. 


The race is on… Who will potty train first? the puppy or the 3 1/2 yr. old?
