| What a surprise! |
One - I am a retired elementary public school teacher, having taught 25 years in systems in Virginia and Tennessee. My last experience was with third graders - 17 years - and I loved it. I have been retired since the close of the 2003 school year.
Two - I am blessed to have a wonderful husband, and we will celebrate our 43rd anniversary in August.
Three - I am mother to three wonderful daughters. A single baby on my birthday is our oldest, and the other two are twins.
Four - My church involvement is very important to me. I am very active in the United Methodist Women, serving offices both in my local Unit and also in the District. I look forward to attending Conference and Jurisdictional events and truly enjoyed UMW Assembly in 2010 in St. Louis.
Five - I have one sibling, a sister, who is so very faithful about following my blog! Thank you, dear Sister!
Six - Hobbies I enjoy include reading, cooking (no surprise), playing bridge, music, and meeting with my fellow retirees from my last school.
Seven - I am a Lifetime Weight Watcher, having been at or below goal weight for the past four years!
Once again, I thank Patty for this award. Please head over to her blog and check out the wonderful recipes she has posted - pattycakescooking.blogspot.com - and come back to see what my next post might bring. Perhaps some other bloggers who deserve the Versatile Blogger Award as well!
Thank you so much for following along. I love reading your comments.
I am impressed that you are a lifelong WW member - good for you and with all the good cooking you do! How special that on your birthday you were blessed with a precious gift. I am happy you received this award. I received it a while ago and have since become an "award and tag free" blog. :) xo
ReplyDeleteit's always nice to know about our blogger friends.. Have a nice weekend
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your award!! I am that sibling, and I must express to others that you are one of the busiest retired people that I have ever known!! Your activities put me to shame, since I am three years younger than you, and I appreciate all you are able to keep up with!! I am also in awe of your achievements with WW, as I have very little success in the area of weight reduction. I've tried various plans, including WW, but have had little or no success. I am very proud of you for sticking with the program and taking care of your health in that regard! I always look forward to your blog entries. Love to you and that wonderful husband and those three marvelous daughters!! :-)
