An Award
Sophie from Sophie's Foodie Files passed on an award to me...the one where you have to tell everyone 7 things about yourself. Try not to be bored, please. :) I'll make it brief and I promise not to pass this on to 15 of you, but if you want to partake, feel free!
1. Michigan was my home until I was in my 30's and then I moved to Florida. I love northen Michigan in the fall and try to go up every year.
2. I have three children, a daughter and two sons. All of them are in their 50's. I also have two grandchildren one 19, one 5 and 1 step grandchild who made me a great grandmother a couple years ago.
3. Reading is my favorite pastime, cooking is a close second. My grandmother and mother were wonderful cooks. My grandmother and her sister owned a bakery in Detroit many years ago.
4. I work out at a gym 6 days a week. Even so, I am always on a diet. :)
5. My sister is a better cook than I am, but she's not a blogger. She's inventive, I am not, but I love searching out new recipes.
6. I am terrified of flying but love to travel. I sedate myself to get on a plane.
7. My home is decorated in ocean colors, blue and white, with lots of shells around, but is filled with antique furniture.
Thanks, Sophie!

ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the fear of flying, but not the 6 days in the gym!

ReplyDeleteIt is always nice to know a little more about the people who write the blogs we enjoy. Thank you Sophie and congratulations.

Great to read a little about you, Barbara! I'm impressed with your workout schedule and, even though I'm not overweight, I am always watching what I eat too, it seems.
ReplyDeleteI love your list! Wow, cooking is in your blood, and it wouldn't surprise me if your children are all marvelous cooks too.
ReplyDeleteOooh, I hate flying too. :)
You are so welcome, my friend! Waw!
ReplyDeleteWhat great things about you. I think you impressed us by saying that your children are in their 50ties & you allready have a great-grandchild! waw!
I think your home would be beautifully decorated! :)
I sedate myself on planes too!
