Thank you again to Rachel at Fluffy Tufts for this Awesome Award!
Congrats on the award and what an interesting a-z. You’re fab!
Wow, thanks Marcia!
I love how so few words reveal so much of your character
It’s a knack!
Congrats Barb…
I like this one – “X – Xciting. Sorry for the spelling, but can you think of an appropriate word beginning with X?” —hahahah
Could you think of something appropriate beginning with ‘X’?
Thought not!!
haha… I couldn’t agree more…
Great ABC’s. You sure have lived in some interesting places.
My stepfather was in the Army so we moved every couple of years – thus I attended a lot of different schools in different countries!
Congratulations on your award Barbara! Like you, I’d offer mine to all… How can we choose? All the blogs I read are fabulous…
Thanks Eliz. It’s impossible to choose any specific blogs to pass the awards on to; they are all deserving.
It’s great to receive an award, but they take up so much time, and they are beginning to feel like a burden to me. Blogging is supposed to be fun, right? So this is the last one I will be participating in. I will write a thank you note to the person who sends them, and leave it at that.
My reward is reading the comments I receive on my posts – that’s all I need.
Love every bit of your ABC’s down to Z….just a list that made me smile and admire the good person you are. We are blessed to know you. Thank you. Take care.
Thank you so much IT. You know how to make me smile!
Congratulations Barb! You deserve it!
Thanks RD!
Congrats Barb. Your blog is awesome!
Thanks for saying so Shell, I appreciate hearing that, yours is too, I really enjoy reading your posts.
Congratulations on your award, you are truly deserving of many more! I loved reading your answers, isn’t it funny how we begin to feel we ‘know’ someone just by reading their blogs?
But of course, I knew you were passionate about pets.
heheh – passionate about pets goes without saying!
it is weird how we begin to feel that we ‘know’ others just by reading their blog. I suppose we expose little bits of ourselves over time, as we write. That’s why comments are so special.
Congrats! Well deserved and well received!
Thanks Chris!
Well Deserved! Congrats Barb!
Thanks Thea!
Well done bab, the first of many maybe.
I still have a few more to put in here but I’m behind with them all – must get to it soon. Thanks for popping by Harry!
Congratulations, that is a nice award and a cute and great idea. I wanted to let you know barb , my husband and I rescued a beagle his name is Henry, middle name is Octavious…he is darling- 3 to 4 years old, we got him about 6 weeks ago, he is a handful, but adjusting well. We started adult dog obedience class last week with him and he is doing a great job. we take him as often as possible to the dog park & 2 to 3 walks a day. He is a doll.
Oh Cathy, that’s wonderful about Henry – please write a post about him with some pics; I’d love to meet him!
Congrats Barb! Well deserved!
Thanks Bren; nice to see you here!
Good list.
Don’t worry.
Be Happy!
Thanks Nancy. Don’t think I can stop being a worry-wort – my mother was the same! Must be in the genes!
Well deserved award, because you’re awesome.
You lived in Singapore?! Oh my ..you’ve been around! Care to elaborate a little on that some time?
It’s rather cool about these lists, because you do actually get to know the person a little more..
Naaaaww, thanks Rebekah!
Yeah, I went to school in Singapore (dad was in the Army there). Before that we had also lived in Germany too, when I was 11.
Don’t know about doing a post about that, it wouldn’t be that interesting.
Don’t you have any memories from there or so?
A Swedish girl, I’ve known her for ages [online only], all of a sudden mentioned …like, in passing, that she’d lived in Beirut for seven years when she was younger. Her dad was a pilot … She didn’t think that was anything special LOL
Oh yes, I have lots of memories, especially of Singapore. I might hunt through the old photographs from that time and put something together – you have been warned!
Haven’t got many memories about Germany though, nothing worth mentioning anyway.
Now see what you’ve started!!
Good for you for getting award and also for doing that whole alphabet. Well done. It was fun for us. Hope you have a super Sunday.
Thanks Margie – the alphabet thing took me ages! Hope I didn’t bore you!
Congratulations on the award and nice to know a bit more about you. Well done!
Thanks Sami, and it’s nice to see you here.
Hi,
Great job on the answers, I thought that was very clever regarding the X.
I couldn’t think what to do with the letter ‘X’!
Enjoyed learning a bit more about you!
I was delighted to give you the award, you deserve it!
Thank you once again Rachel. I am honoured because we haven’t known each other that long!
Hi Barb,
Loved your ABC. Nice to learn a little more about you!
LOL I am also a “Worry-wort”
We just can’t help being worry-worts, can we!
You are truly awesome and more. Your post inspire us every time. Congratulations. Stay blessed my friend.
Thank you IT, your comments always lift me up!
