for her pleasant, inspiring, full of facts, and funny blog! 
She has passed it on to me...but it has a few rules attached.
I need to do the following:
1. Say thanks and give a link to the presenter of the award.
2. Share "ten honest things" about myself.
3. Present this award to 7 others whose blogs I find special.
Thank you very much Marcy for this HONEST SCRAP award.
My 10 honest things are:
1. I am definitely a morning person...I "need" to get up before dawn...7 hours of sleep is more than enough for me...I wake up even before the alarm goes off sometimes...get my coffee and read Bernie's blog.
2. I am an optimist who dislikes to even hear negative possibilities or fears spoken...for fear of "attracting" them into my life...but I'm not superstitious...although I do collect 4 leaf clovers...as do my grandchildren.
3. I get very frustrated at least once a day by my petite short frame...everything is always just an inch away or an inch too big....I have step stools here and there....and loads of clothes that just don't fit.
4. I am a descendant of the Indian Princess Pocahontas...11th g'g'parent! My mother who I miss more than I can say...had high cheekbones and black hair.
5. I can't swim...have a fear of "deep" water...would prefer mountains over a beach for a vacation spot...so dislike hot humid places.
6. I am a homebody...would never think of giving up my home to travel the world...even in a luxurious tour bus...but "really" enjoy reading blogs from all over.
7. I only cook one meal a day since my husband retired...that would be lunch, but I love to experiment and try new things while cooking...I use lots of spices and herbs...I do fix a Sunday breakfast though.
8. I am shy and dislike having my photo taken, but yet I was in a beauty contest once...a lifetime ago...don't know how Icould have done that.
9. I am the first born of 3 girls and am a care giver, mediator, and sounding board type...always wanted to please...I am a nester!
10. I'm an active person that doesn't like to sit still....but here I sit blogging away....I find myself drinking more calorie free drinks lately to make up for it...
The friends I have made are worth the time I spend here and have enriched my life greatly. My daughter introduced me to blogging...for which I'm grateful. Blogging came at a time in my life when I no longer babysit my grandchildren everyday.....I might have experienced a delayed empty nest syndrome otherwise...I love all the blogs I visit...each for different reasons.
Here are my nominees to receive (only if they want) this award...you don't have to...honest! :)

Wow Wanda, you are another award winner that I have a lot in common with! Especially #1. Get up early, get coffee, read Bernies post! Congratulations Wanda!
Congratulations, Wanda!
You know what I like about this award thing? I like how we reveal a little bit more of ourselves and our lives to each other by doing this 'honesty' list!
I know you reveal a lot of yourself, Wanda, in your photographs, but this gives another perspective.
Every once in awhile we should do a 'ten things you didn't know about me' post for no reason at all other than to share!
This was great, Wanda. Related to Pocahontas! Impressive!
And I can so relate to your feelings about your Mom. My Mom's been gone over two years now but it still feels so raw.
And I too can't swim and have a fear of the water, especially the ocean, and especially at night! My husband would love to take a cruise, and I hate to be a 'spoil sport' but I'm petrified in addition to the fact that I get seasick!
Thanks for sharing, Wanda!
Oh Wanda, I have tears in my eyes, you know me as a blogger friend more than anyone and this means so much coming from you. My heart is so full as this is the third award tonight and I am very humbled....:-) Hugs my friend.
Hello Wanda
I am very touched to be honoured this way by my new blogging friend...
It is nice to get to know you a little better through your honest declarations!
I have another three of four things in common with you - that need to get up early and only sleep 7 hours, I am one of three girls - but the middle one, I love to be active, and also I am a bit shy - but moreso that I love my own company...
Thanks Wanda,
Happy days
I'm here, early morning, no one else up yet, just me and the animals. I am smiling. Sencha green tea close, first of several for the day. I shall post the award and answers in time on my blog, and I am extremely moved that you choose me. Here's a cyber hug (((((( ))))))
How wonderful to find these neat things out about you. Another morning person...ya hoo! We seem to be an unusual 'breed' as people usually roll their eyes at me.
I, too, am short (5'3"), but I have always enjoyed it...some challenges there , but that's all about life anyway.
Also agree with you about the negativity thing...those people seem to be better at bringing one down that at being brought up to positive thinking themselves!
My late beloved hubby would LOVE that you are descended from Pocahontas as he loved all things Indian which makes me love them as well!
And I so much miss my mother...never could even think about losing her and now she's been in Heaven for almost nine years!
blessings and hugs,
marcy
OMGosh...My very first Blog award...thank you so much and I feel I know you so much better now. Thanks for sharing such personal info. I promise to hold it safe in my heart ((((((( hugs))))).
Hi Wanda,
I so enjoyed learning more about you. I understand you as a deeply meditative person who sincerely cares for others. When you post or comment, I always feel it's from the heart.
Congratulations on this recognition!
Wanda,
Thank you so much for this blog award!! I'm very sorry it took a couple of days to get it up, but up it is!
Moments of Mine is one of my daily reads and I just love getting to come here and see all the lovely photos you post daily!
