One of the perks of blogging is “meeting” new people. Since I began writing this blog almost two years ago, it has brought many new friends my way.
One blogger, in particular, and I have become very good friends. That’s Pam, whose cat, Sammy, is the author of One Spoiled Cat. You may recall that Motor Man and I actually met Pam and her husband, Dave, a few months ago for a time of antiquing and lunch.
Pam recently nominated my blog for a new award, the Sisterhood of The World Blogger Award.
How appropriate, since I do consider Pam a blogging sister.
As with most blog awards, I’m to share some facts about myself. They’re probably supposed to be interesting things, but since I believe I have shared everything interesting about me, I’ll share seven rather boring things:
1.) I have bunions, inherited from my Mom.
2.) I’ve never learned to dance, and probably would be too self-conscious to do so anyway.
3.) My favorite household chore is folding freshly laundered towels.
4.) When it rains, I get cold, no matter how warm (or hot) it is.
5.) My middle name is Ward. My Mom’s middle name was Ward; she was named after the country doctor in the area when she was born.
6.) I can still recite the entire Crest Toothpaste tv commercial from my childhood. You know the one: “Crest has been shown to be an effective, decay-preventive dentifrice…..” . Just WHAT is a dentifrice anyway?
7.) One of my earliest memories is a trip Mom and I took to Pennsylvania and New York to visit my uncle and my sister. I was four years old. This picture was taken during that trip.

And now, I get to share this award with five other bloggers. They are:
I love being part of the blogging sisterhood.
these days of mine 
What a lovely post! I am so proud to be one of your “blogging sisters” Dianna….your blog is always a ray of sunshine for me (and Sam) and your friendship means the world to me too. I think your “rather boring” list is far from boring…..I see that you and I must also be “Bunion Sisters” since I’m likewise afflicted…. 😀 😀
Hugs, Pam (and Sam)
What a wonderful, sweet post today! Thank you for the nomination, Dianna! I am so glad we reconnected after all those years! I always look forward to your post – and you know you were the inspiration for me to start blogging – so I guess, in a way, you are responsible for this monster you created! I will have to try to think of some interesting things to post about myself now! Love that photo of you with your cousin – with your little pigtails! You had that wonderful smile then too!
I love folding towels, too. I fold them in half lengthwise, then in thirds widthwise. I do the same with these new large sheet bath towels, and they go in a different stack. hmmm Not boring at all. 🙂
Congratulations, Dianna! I’m so glad you and Pam have become good friends and have met in person. Very special! Nothing about you is boring. I always love learning more about you!
Congrats on your award-it’s always fun reading more about you!
p.s. finally got the book giveaway post up! I LOVED the book 🙂
Congratulations Dianna! I find not one thing boring about you! I love your smile too, it makes me smile. I love folding towels too, I always have to hold them up to my nose and take in a big whiff of clean towel… 🙂
One unknown fact of a dear friend: I did not know you could recite the whole Crest commercial. I need to hear it over lunch!
Omigooseness the sweet smile on your little face! Isn’t it funny how our smiles stay the same no matter how old we are…
congratulations! We love Pam and Sammy as well and feel that they are a super special part of our lives.
I have to tell you….your Fact Number 6 is just a tad scary 🙂
that photo is just too cute. 🙂 congrats, dianna!
Congratulations, Dianna! And thank you so much for nominating me for the award. The blogging community is terrific and I’m proud to know so many wonderful people like yourself. Your photo is sweet and it’s always fun to learn more about you. I’ll have to think of think of something to tell about myself now and post about it later in the week.
Have a wonderful week and give Sundae a hug for me!
Congrats again!! Great post … there are a couple of things here I didn’t know, but I was fully aware of #6 !!
Congratulations Dianna! I think those were all interesting things and not at all boring 🙂 I especially think number 5 is fantastic.

Hi Dianna, congratulations on the new award – what a great name for it. Blogging sisters sounds wonderful :))
Thank you so much for passing it on to me, I really appreciate it.
The hardest bit about these awards is trying to think of something interesting to write, but I’ll put my thinking cap on and see what I can come up with.
Thanks again. 🙂
