Even with this equatorial heat, this is a time for parties in the US because the 4th of July is when we celebrate our break from Britain and became our own country – not that we actually do anything very patriotic, unless picnics are patriotic? In my clan, Sis #1 and her family are coming to visit this weekend. Time for potluck! And time to sit in the shade and drink a lot of iced tea.
Yay! Jane from Jane’s Journal gifted me a Sunshine Award. I’ll admit it, I’m shameless about loving this kind of thing, and I think it’s wonderful how blogging buddies spread their love around. Jane has a wonderful blog, and I hope you visit her site. I’m feeling especially happy that she gave me this award on turtle week since I love turtles.
Part of the joy of awards is getting the chance to spread the love to others. Jane nominated me, but said that other deserving bloggers can just take the award for themselves, so I’ll follow her example. My nominee is Amanda Dilworth. I love her use of colors and patterns, so check out her site too.
Now I have to answer questions…
1. Favorite animal: My dog Penny is my favorite, but like I said above, I also love turtles
2. Favorite number: 4. I like the way 4s are the corners to everything. They seem so solid.
3. Favorite non-alcoholic drink: I drink a lot of iced tea. Not so sure that’s my favorite drink, but that’s what I actually drink.
4. Facebook or Twitter: I hate Facebook, but that’s the one I use. I don’t want to get sucked into Twittering too.
5. My passion: Kids, education, science, fairness… Oh yeah, one passion? Art.
6. Getting or giving: Both can be fun, just like getting and giving awards.
7. Favorite day of the week: Saturday. That’s the day most open to everything.
8. Favorite flower: This is like choosing between blogging buddies, but I think I’ll pick day lilies today.
9. Favorite country: I’ve only been in 3 countries so far since I’ve never gotten off of North America, so I don’t have a lot of comparison. But I love home, so I pick the US, though in all honesty, I almost picked Canada. They're very nice there and the scenery is great, but it's too cold most of the year to be my "favorite".
