My sweet friend, Rose H. of Second Hand Rose, in the U.K., has given me the Liebster Award. Thank you kindly, Rose. Rose has such a cute blog; she loves to thrift shop, like most of us here in Blog land. She finds the most wonderful bargains in Staffordshire, England, where she lives. Please stop by and visit Rose; you'll be glad you did.
I'm supposed to tell you eleven things that you may not know about me, so here goes.
1. I love history and attended a Renaissance Fair in North Carolina several years ago (kind of nerdy, I know).
2. Books are one of my very favorite things in life, and I love to read and collect them.
3. I worked four years at a bookstore during my twenties. The pay and the hours were not so good, but it was a great experience for me.
4. I met my husband at said bookstore. :)
5. Our current home was hit by a tornado during our second year of living here. We had to move out of it for eight weeks while it was being repaired. Before that happened, I was NEVER afraid of storms, but now they make me a tad nervous (especially when there's a tornado warning issued).
6. Scottish Terriers are my favorite dogs. I have had three during the course of my lifetime.
7. I took four years of French in school, but don't remember a lot of it.
8. I loved to play the piano for many years when I was growing up. I still love it, but am VERY out of practice.
9. My son hates for me to play the piano. My stopping and starting over (hence the out-of-practice thing) drives him crazy. :)
10. I'm seriously afraid of spiders -- a real arachnophobe.
11. I'm a big Lord of the Rings movie fan (not very girlie, I know).
I'm passing this Liebster Award to eleven other bloggers, who like me, have less than 200 followers. I hope you'll take a few minutes to visit their blogs; they all have some neat things to share!
