Irresistably Sweet

I am trying to remember a time when I have been more surprised, but one's not coming to me. Old Altonian, whose writing I am quite fond of, gave me the Irresistably Sweet award. I am so complimented he enjoys my site and what I write down in it.  His poems are fantastic, but my favorites are the Tales from Nether Afton, The Joe Magpie Stories. I do not think he could write too many of them.

Now, as I understand it, for this award one is to list seven pieces of information not commonly known about themself, and fifteen recommendations.

1. I am a frustrated artist. I always wanted to be able to draw. When I was in college, I took an Art class. Not quite two weeks in, the professor strongly suggested to me that I drop the class.

2. Long before there were any casinos there, one night I accidentally sunk a pick-up into Black Lake, in Louisiana. So far as I know, it's still in there.

3. I almost had a degree in Law. But just after starting my last year, it dawned on me that it was not what I really wanted to do. So I left school and for the next two years banded and counted birds in various research projects.

4. I have an older brother that I have absolutely no idea where is or what has happened to him.

5. I love playing Angry Birds on my iPad.

6. I used to be a storm chaser. Years ago, before it was all the rage with TV shows and movies about it.

7. I have a scar on my leg I got when scrambling over a fence, to avoid being squashed between it and the hippo I was feeding.

My fifteen recommendations, (I suppose Altonian would might yell if I re-nominated him, even though he'd truly be my first choice):

1. Colleen even tries to find something nice to say about my awful poetry.

2. Ibeati always reminds me to count my blessings, and his beautiful pictures always make me smile.

3. The Gal Herself, underneath her tough exterior, she is sweet...because she cares, and she cares about the animals.

4. Nancy

5. Izzy

7. Simple Catholic Living

8. Daisy the Curly Cat

9. Marg's Pets

    That is such a nice award. A big congratulations to you. We sure do appreciate you giving it to us. It was fun learning all those different facts about you and your family. Too bad you can't get together with your brother. Thanks again.
    Take care.

    Those are some interesting things about you! My Mommeh has always wished she could be an artist, but she is No Good at anything artistic.

    Congratulations on your award, and thank you for thinking of me, too!

    Thank you! I AM smiling. I lost track on my way over last week. I love reading your list. Reminds me of 100 Things About Me which I did years ago and still have on my sidebar. After 6 years blogging, I'm not sure there is anything new to say about me!

    I will check out some of the blogs you listed.
