Award from Marie of Greece

Marie has so generously included me as one of the seven blogger she is giving this award to. I'm not really "into" awards but Marie has such a fascinating blog and she is fairly new to blogland. She is a jewelry designer in Thessaloniki. (I can see you all are now already heading to her blog Dollys Daydreams to check out her work. )


As recipient of this blog I'm to divulge 7 facts about me so here goes:

1. I love variety and have had many different kinds of full-time and part-time jobs (writer, teacher, engineering assistant, buyer's assistant, director of homebound ministries.)
2. I worked for an oil company where I operated a room-sized computer.
3. I have been married to the sweetest guy alive for almost 54 years.
4. Drawing, coloring, and painting have been joys for me throughout my life.
5. I make cards for the homebound, the bereaved, and the sick members of our church.
6. I have 2 adult children and 1 adult grandchild.
7. I lead a weekly Bible study class. One of my members is a young Japanese Christian, who is so concerned for her parents who live in the prefecture of Iwate near where the earthquake struck. They are safe but she won't be back to Japan till April. If you have read this far, please say a prayer for my friend and her parents.


There are so many young (and not so young) bloggers out there who deserve all sorts of awards. I just can't decide who to send this on to.
