One Lovely Blog Award

One Lovely Blog Award…Thank you!

One Lovely Blog AwardI would like to thank Charles Ray‘s fantastic book review blog and also everyone that takes the time to read my blog.ย  I am very honored to be nominated for this award that I will proudly display on my site.

Now I reveal 7 things about myself you may or may not have known.

1.ย  I wrote my first novel in High School.ย  Chapters were sold for $0.25 cents each…It kept my car in gas.

2.ย  My favorite book is “Peck’s Bad Boy and his Pa“.

3.ย  When my son and daughter were born, I was in the room watching.

4.ย  I have the honor of being married to the same woman for forty-five years.ย  If I had to do it again, I would in a heartbeat.

5.ย  My first published novel, “The Wolf’s Moon” was written in longhand and took about a year or so to finish.

6.ย  I love to watch nature, watching flowers grow in one of our many gardens.ย  Sitting in the room where I write I watch the animals drink from the creek.

7.ย  Most of all, I love working with my wife each day, meeting all of the wonderful people around the world and reading their thoughts in blogging.

Oh yeah, did I mention anything about woodworking?ย  No?ย  Well, maybe next time.

These bloggers that I am nominating are just a few of the wonderful people out there in the blogosphere.ย  If I were to list everyone, the list would be 18 pages long and growing.ย  Thank you for providing a snapshot of life from your side of the street ๐Ÿ™‚
