My “One Lovely Blog Award”…yay!

What a nice surprise to find out that someone had actually nominated me for this award!  I have been nominated in the past, but have never been able to quite figure out how to participate! I made up my mind that this time – I would try to figure it out and just go for it!  Since I’m only a once a week blogger (sometime not even that often)… it is truly an honor to be nominated by my friend over on Maryland’s Eastern shore: http://apromptreply.wordpress.com/

To fulfill the requirements of the award, here are my 7 facts:

1. I was raised an ONLY child, until I was sixteen, but have 2 older brothers, 1 younger brother, and 1 younger sister (the one that was born when I was 16.)

2. My younger brother (by two years) was raised as my cousin & we didn’t get to know each other until we were in our 40’s.

3. I have a family member who appeared on the Sally Jesse Raphael talk show back in the 80’s.

4. I am the proud mother of a thrice published author!!

5. I quit drinking milk when I quit taking the bottle.

6. I once held a job as a black jack dealer.

7. I’ve been married four times!

Here are my 15 nominees for this award:
