Ginny at Proverbs 22:6 Academy conferred this award upon my humble little blog...grin!  Thanks, Ginny.  I don't know if I can comply with the requirements, as I've been a little neglectful of my homeschoolblogger buddies, and with the household computers dedicated to school right now, probably won't be able to pass it on to the 7 or so that I am supposed to share the award with.  Still, I suppose I can comply with the sharing of 10 honest things about myself...well, maybe.    Let's see...

1.  I hated gardening as a kid...love it as an adult.

2.  I'm very disorganized!  Hubby is very organized.  Just compare my purse to his wallet, and you'll see.

3.  I hate to cook from recipes.  If I can't wing it, it's very rare I'll fix it.  Unless I'm baking.

4.  I hate beets.  I grew some this year, but even the exotic looking ones still taste slimy.  Yuck.

5.  I love Dr. Seuss books because they rhyme!

6.  I can't wait 'til the Fall Festival!  It's two weeks away, and the kids and I usually have a blast entering arts, crafts, homegrown veggies, and baked goods!  I'm starting to think about which poems I want to enter this year.

7.  My best poems sometimes start with the oddest thoughts or in the most unusual places, like the shower.  The things that inspire me to write are works of the Lord, both those recorded in the Bible and those in my life, as well as nature and mountains, and of course, listening to Rich Mullins or my hubby on his guitar. 

8.  I'm a terrible housekeeper.  Too easily distracted.

9.  I hate driving!  Teaching my 16 yo is gonna be a challenge.

10.  I love fishing, but don't like eating the fish so much.  I kinda cringe when people order fish at a restaurant...not my favorite!  LOL!

I'll have to do the passing on of the award at a different juncture, as the day has dawned and kids need tending!

Blessings from the ranch!
