Beautiful Blogger Award!!


Lois of From Lois' Hands has nominated me for a Beautiful Blogger Award. I am flattered to say the least! Thank you so very much Lois. I am to tell you ten things about myself that you may not know, then nominate ten more people for this award but as I always do I offer it to anyone who would like to tell us a little more about them. Here are ten things about me:

1. I have never changed the weight on my drivers license. It says what I weighed when I got my license at 18 and it sure isn't that now.

2. I have a unusual shade of blue polish on my nails...love to polish with bright colors.

3. I always fall asleep at the beach.

4. I wished my middle child's hair had stayed blonde...but it darkened!

5. I have lived at the same address for 33 years.

6. I hate pumping gas.

7. I wished I could give my mom everything she could ever want.

8. I single-handedly took my two youngest children to Disney World four times....and had just as much fun as they did, if not more.

9. I love watermelon, pineapple, oranges and green grapes.

10. I have been married twice on two different Caribbean islands, in two different types of ceremonies to the same guy!

Have fun with this!

Hello Cheryl I was going to add the heart liking as well.
I also have a dislike of filling the car up, have lived in the same house for over 30 years (37) love same fruit as you but ask my husband to renew his vows and their is a flat - I loved it so much the first time we could never recreate it darling. Still working on that ine lol
BTW Cathys Capers has a new name (Still Waters) and also a new address
This link should take you there

Congrats on your award. And, I loved reading the fun things about you.

Linda Reeder said...

We have some things in common. the weight on my drivers license hasn't been updated (or upped) for many years, I lived at this address for 32 years, and I also hate to pump gas!

DUTA said...

You are indeed a beautiful blogger, Cheryl.

I see we like the same fruit; I'm especially mad about grapes and watermelon.
I wished...my hair had stayed blonde, but it darkened. *sigh*

It was fun reading about your blue nail polish, your weight on the driver's licence, your being married twice to..the same guy.

Well-deserved award!

Wanda..... said...

You do deserve the Sunshine Award Cheryl!
Are we expected to change our weight listing? :)

Are you what used to be called a "two timer"? LOL

I think in your case it worked out.

yonca said...

Congrats to your well deserved award! I love watermelon too.It's funny, I'm eating watermelon right now:-)Great list. I enjoyed to read things about you.

George said...

Congratulations on your award -- your site is indeed beautiful. I'm sure not many of us could say we twice married the same person on two different islands. You are in fact very unique!

CiCi said...

Great snippets of information about you. I really like it that you have been married two times to the same guy.

TK said...

Hi Cheryl! Congratulation on the award!It's interesting to know more about you! I love watermelon and pineapple too!!!

Betsy Banks Adams said...

Congrats, Cheryl. You are not only a Beautiful Blogger--you are a beautiful woman...

Love reading about you... I love green grapes also... I used to get my nails done regularly--but since retirement I don't do that anymore.

I don't understand No. 10... Explain please!!!! Did you and hubby renew your vows?

Hugs,
Betsy

Brenda Kay Ledford said...

Congratulations upon the BEAUTIFUL BLOGGER award. You sure deserve it. Your blog is beautiful and the 10 facts about your are interesting.

RoseBelle said...

Congrats Cheryl!! Love your first response. Come to think of it, you just fill out the info ourselves when we apply and renew our drivers license. Well unless your obviously 5' and you put 6' then DMV will make you correct it.

Cheryl said...

Hi all...I will clarify what #10 is: Mark and I were married in Antigua on March 5, 2002. It was a beautiful and very meaningful ceremony with just the two of us. Plenty of champagne and a wedding cake, next morning breakfast in bed with more champagne! We had a beautifully decoratd villa on the ocean side lit with candles and decorated with sweet flowers for a private dinner for us. We had a great waiter to assist! So when our 5th anniversary was approaching we went to Jamaica and had a Renewal of Vows ceremony with the most amazing minister! We were barefoot in the warm, soft sand and reaffirmed our vows. And after that another big party with plenty of champagne and a PRIVATE dinner in a villa on the water with a private waiter! Hopefully when we celebrate our tenth anniversary in 2012, we will be able to afford to visit another Caribbean island, hopefully St. Lucia.

Sounds like an ideal second time around to me.

How did you manage number 1?

I like your new profile photo. I guess she's your daughter, with the same top you both are wearing, you look like twins.

I came across another blogger who is doing "Hearts" I told her about you. Are you doing a meme on hearts?

Congrats to your two wedding, and esp to the same lucky guy. Both of you are fantastic people. Not many these days achievethat milestone.

Ciela said...

Hello Cheryl! Lovely profile photo! You're like beautiful twins! I can feel you're a very sweet daughter.
I guess, any wife would love to have that kind of wedding renewal exactly like what you had. Fabulous!

Have a great new week ahead!

Congrats on the Award! You're such a Beautiful Blogger!

Cheryl;

You are a Beautiful Blogger so this award is right on target.
Today after reading your 10 list, you are more beautiful then I thought.
I also would love to be able to give my Mom everything that she has ever wanted.
Also, I love the weight idea, quess I can't move it backwards but I can keep it the same.

Arlee Bird said...

I also left my weight the same for many years-- I think I finally changed it last time. What I was wondering is when you're going bald, what is your hair color?

Hi Cheryl, interesting tidbits, ha ha. Never knew US driver's license has weight on it?

Been to Disney World 4 times? Wow....
I have been to Niagara Fall 28 times in 23 years.....last one 2 weeks ago when Sil and Bil came for holidays....
Will stop when reach 30, ha ha.
Have fun and keep well, Lee.
