An Award.....3 times!

Catherine over at Our Village is a Little Different awarded me the Stylish blogger Award and while I have been procrastinating about getting my blog up about it I have been awarded it by SisterT over at Tell'n It! and Jen at Adventures in Unsell Land.

Of course there is a catch to the award, I have 4 things to accomplish.

1.Thank and link back to the person who awarded you this award

• Thank You Catherine, Sister T, and Jen. You guys are great!

2.Share 7 things about yourself.

1. I love to cook and try new recipes. If God had not blessed me with 5 wonderful children to stay home and raise I would own a restaurant/bakery. I still enjoy decorating cakes at home, but I would definitely add to my menu if I had a restaurant.
2. My favorite color is dark purple, I like this color so much that the paint in my bedroom is called black raspberry and with walls so dark I could not leave my ceiling white so I painted it gold. I don't like the other rooms in my house to be that dark but I love the decor of my room.
3. I was born and raised in Southern Indiana. The same county that my parents and grandparents are from. Sometimes I miss all the trees and the rolling green hills.
4. I am in my early 40's but I remember my grandmother having a party line on her phone. My great grandmother had no running water, still used an outhouse, and a big wood cookstove, not because she had to but because she was not one for change. I loved going over to her house and she would cook on that big cookstove and we always wanted to be the one to draw the water from the well. I am so very glad to have gotten a glimpse of her lifestyle.
5. I was a Law Enforcement Specialist in the Air Force so basically a cop. Most people find this hard to believe because I have a very different disposition now than I did then.
6. I don't think I have ever mowed an entire yard. Growing up I remember having a riding lawn mower, but I don't remember actually using it. My husband likes to mow & he doesn't think I should have to so for the last 21 years he or the kids have always mowed. I have helped my kids get the mower started or maneuver around objects in the yard but that's it, and I'm ok with that!
7. I like to stay up late. No matter how hard I try I can never make it to bed early, I have to many things I want to do. I really think that sleep is a waste of time but I guess God doesn't think so or I wouldn't have to sleep at all.
