1. Thank the person who nominated you.

2. Post the image on your blog.

3.Share seven things about yourself.

4.Pass the award to five blogs you enjoy.

O.K…I am a retired “UPS Man”, both my wives were redheads, but both have now gone gray (not my fault), I am still and will for ever be married to my second lovely wife, our kids, two each from our first marriages, are now grown with children of their own.  We have a total of ten grandkids with ages ranging from one year to seventeen years old, but we do not babysit!!  We cherish our privacy and solitude.  I am painstakingly slow when it comes to writing but that is just the way it is…I do some gardening, renovations on our house and have built a few pieces of furniture.  This is typical ‘old retired guy’ stuff, I guess, but it, particularly the writing, keeps me halfway sane…..thats enough….I guess we only really reveal our true selves in our writings…all the above is really just the circumstances of our lives.   Oh, yes! I want to share my favorite quote by Abraham Lincoln, “It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open ones mouth and remove all doubt”  We all violate this every day, don’t we?

I’m going to violate the rules and only nominate two blogs which I follow. They may not respond, but I want to let them know how much I admire their work. Check them out, please.
