The
purpose of this award is for bloggers to nominate fellow, mostly newer,
bloggers that they wish to recognise. The goal is to bring attention to
blogs that we think are "lovely" and enjoy reading. We hope others will
enjoy reading these blogs also.
In order to accept the award, the nominated blogger must follow these rules:
- Thank the person who nominated you & link back to them in your post
- Share seven facts about yourself
- Nominate 10 other bloggers for the award
2. My favorite color is pink. My bedroom was painted pink when I was born. It is painted a very pale pink right now. :)
3. I was 5'11" til this last year. Degenerative disc disease has made me 5'10" now.
4. I love poodles. I had a silver toy poodle as a little girl. His name was Julio. My Daddy named him that after the Paul Simon hit, "Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard." (I thought the song was talking about my Julio. Hey! I was three when this song came out!) We have two toy poodles now, Mabel and Henry.

6. The only time I have left our country was many, many years ago with Brian. We crossed the border into Tijuana, Mexico. We were there one hour. If you have ever been there, you probably agree with me that this experience to another country does not count.
7. My mom, dad, myself and three brothers all have green eyes. Thought that was normal til I was an adult. Two percent of the world's population has green eyes.

How fun to read about you! Julio looks like he was a sweet dog. : )
Congrats on your award!
That last photo made me giggle. It looks like Julio is smiling for the camera.
Always love to read and learn more about you dear friend , big hugs.
Thanks for sharing. Loved the awesome pictures;)
Always so nice to read about a friend....I was also on June's list...it was fun .
Thanks so much for the Blog Award Vickie, I'm honoured:-)
Grooming poodles is an endless task - Brandy needs clipped once again too. I enjoyed reading the seven things you shared.
Lovely Vickie xx
Julio is so cute and I love his little hat and the picture of the two of you. I learned a few new things about you - like your green eyes. I have green eyes, too!
Blessings - Julie
Lovely post Vickie.Congratulations on being nominated.
Interesting post Vickie. Congrats on your nomination. Adorable pic of you and Julio.
A lovely photograph of you and Julio.
Congrats on receiving the award. I enjoyed reading your facts and seeing the photos. :)
What a great post! Lovely to know more about you.

You like pink? And poodles? Who knew? LOL. These are the most important facts about our Vickie.
I did not realise you were so tall though! I'm only 5ft 2 so I can't afford to lose any more height.
I believe that America is the western country with the smallest percentage of people with passports too. I suppose when you live in such a large place you never run out of holiday destinations.
Lovely post and Congratulations Vickie! oh you like PINK & POODLES??? LOL! Sweet photo of you and Julio! love Annette
I have to say, my only experience leaving the country was nearly the same in length as yours, except it was up north... When college shopping with my son, we were in Vermont, close to Ontario's border crossing. I just HAD to get into Canada... so we did! We actually only went into Cornwall, to the Walmart to get souvenirs and Canadian money. They thought I was crazy insisting that my change be in Canadian, because it was less money for me! If Emerson lived closer, my hubby could teach him about carpentry. I really think about that... passing on your trade. Ok, off to read more blogs. Thanks for sharing!
Hey, thanks for the nomination! I don't think I would've realized you like pink and poodles, hah. ;) And that jaunty picture of Julio with his hat and blingy collar! And wooow, you are so tall! I'm just a shorty. Keeps me closer to the flowers, I suppose. :)
O dear, I'm way behind ... but thank you for the nomination! I'll join you in the facts later on this day ... really have to think about that LOL Telling new things apart from what's on my blog already is the challenge. I had a similar 'thing' a few years ago and then I asked the girls to share their knowledge. They had lots of fun to tell me (and others) about my weeeiiird characteristics. Mmmm, maybe I'll ask them again ... To be continued ;)
I had to giggle when I read about your dog and the song, very funny!
Have a nice day!
Hi Vicky,
so nice to read these facts about you - although, most of them I already knew!
But I love your stories about you and Julio - and the green-eyes story too (did not know that)!
Hugs
Hilda
