I’ve done mine finally! The kids are off for half term and we’re puppy sitting this week, so everything is taking 3 times as long!
Great answers and facts. I enjoyed your post. Here is link for anyone interested. Angela Woolrdige
Thank you. My post will go live tomorrow (it took some thinking to create), and I’ll be busily notifying my 11 nominees throughout the day.
You’re welcome. Looking forward to seeing it.
Thank you so much for thinking of me for this award! Your questions are hard to answer– so many choices. As if I could pick one genre of music. 😉
But I have to agree, coffee is a food group. My favorite food group. 🙂
You are welcome. I know it is hard for me to pick one of music, movies, books, travel locations etc. Pick what feels right, lol Life is just better with coffee, lol.
Thanks Juneta! My post is gonna go up on Monday. I hope you like the answers to your questions. 😀
You’re welcome. I am sure I will. You accomplished a lot this last year and I am sure this year will be even better.
I am so impressed that you saw Wham! at Wembley! Currently pondering who my fave hobbit is 😉 and will post up soon. Not sure if I know any bloggers you haven’t named! So may think a bit sideways on how to go about that!
Great post – thanks for nominating me!
You know Kirsten-Lark and Katharina-Cat and Jean Schara-Jean from Holly’s. Kirsten, Elena, Lori, Sheri, S.K Anthony you may know from IWSG.
You are most welcome. Have Fun! I thought that hobbit mistake too funny, LOL
you’re right – I should be less backward about being forward 😉
PS Seeing WHAM! was great and so was our 9 day stay in London. Elton John made a surprise appearance and sang “Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me” with George Michael. I love riding the red double decker bus and the black taxi’s you see in all the movies—it was awesome.
Thanks for the award. I already posted my answers to your questions but didn’t manage to come up with 11 new nominations. 😉
You are welcome. LOL, I struggle with finding 11 too

Thanks, Juneta! It’s so nice of you to think of me. I enjoyed reading your answers and facts.
Your Welcome Lori. I tried to think of interesting facts about myself, which took me some time, lol. I don’t find myself that interesting. I am glad you enjoyed them.
I finally posted my award acceptance. You can see it here: http://lorilmaclaughlin.com/2015/02/20/celebrate-the-small-things-and-the-liebster-award/
Thanks again!
Great facts about you! I can’t imagine not seeing the ocean until age 21, but then I hadn’t seen the seas of corn in the mid-US until just this summer, so it might be similar.
Love the part you played in Cinderella!
LOL, I am from Texas, but my area we see seas of wheat, cotton, some corn, alfalfa grass for hay etc. The ocean is a 7 to 9 hour drive depending on if you to Galveston or Corpus Christi.
Now the ocean is an hour drive any direction and I live in lake county–,known for having 7 lakes so there is one around every corner, lol and one is just two blocks from my home. .
I had stage fright, but they said I did it well I remember nothing but the fear, lol. Band and choir and group stuff was much easier for performance in public for me.
Thanks for nominating me.
I like to sketch when I’m in the mood too. I’ve lost my edge for lack of practice but it’s nice to do. Thank you for nominating me!!! 😀
Yeah that happens without practice, but despite my sketching has improved over the years. You are welcome.
thanks so much Juneta for the honor !!!
You are most welcome.
Wow! Thank you! I’m honored! Did you want me to answer Tyrean’s questions or are you going to give me new ones?
OOPS FORGOT TO ADD THEM. Hang on adding them now.
Thanks for pointing that out so quick. I missed that I had not done it.
