I received awards over the past week or so. I am quite forgetful sometimes and I apologize for the delay. I apologize in advance because I know I missed someone who is worthy of an award.
I extend gratitude to Mary Clever, Otrazhenie, And Life Smiles, 4 Writers and Readers, and Chef Doru for the Very Inspiring Blog Award.
Chef Doru also awarded the blog The Sunshine Blog Award.
The Rules are:
1. Display the award logo on your blog.
2. Link back to the person who nominated you.
3. State 7 things about yourself.
4. Nominate 15 other bloggers for this award and link to them.
5. Notify those bloggers of the nomination and the award’s requirements.
- I coached ice hockey for almost 35 years and some former players made it to the NHL.
- My first language, although I don’t use it much anymore, was French.
- I am a teacher. My major is Physical Education which surprises few. My minor is French.
- I taught kindergarten for two days and believe every kindergarten teacher is a saint.
- Kathy and I met in a pub.
- I am very lucky to have met Kathy.
- My favourite TV show now is the Big Bang Theory. I laugh heartily.
