The Versitile Blogger Award

The Versatile Blogger Award


The lovely Paulette from Cheerful Thrifty Door, has actually awarded my humble blog, The Versatile Blogger Award!  I was so surprised and amazed and grateful. I've already gotten new followers!!

Paulette's blog post about her Vera Neuman scarves inspired me to see if I could find some.  They were gorgeous and I have discovered how wonderful scarves are to dress up an outfit for a polished look.  I have found more than a dozen since then and love each one more than the last!  Please visit Paulette over at Cheerful Thrifty Door.  Following her blog has been a pure delight seeing all her thrifty finds!  I always love to visit. 

The Versatile Blogger Award rules are: You should pass the award on to 15 recently discovered blogs.  I'm following Paulette's lead however, and doing just a few, as I am a pretty new blogger and all my blogs are newly discovered.  Some of my choices follow me and some ignore me but these blogs I am awarding  I make sure I visit every new post.  Let the bloggers know that they have been nominated and share seven things about yourself.   Be sure and thank the award giver and link back to their blog.  Please place the icon of The Versatile Blogger Award somewhere on your blog page.
So here goes:  

Seven Things About Myself:

• I have recently moved to Florida from Ohio.
• I have four children, four children in law and four grandchildren.
• I've been married only once and we will celebrate 43 years next month.
• I have loved thrifting and junking since I was a kid.  I've always preferred "old"  to anything new.
• I sold and gave away of 2/3rds of my household stuff last summer in a gut wrenching series of yard sales in order to simplify my life.
• I have a shooting star on Ebay but haven't listed anything since 2006.  I have an Etsy shop but only listed one item in 2010.  It didn't sell.
• My favorite and most recommended book series is The Betsy Tacy book series by Maud Hart Lovelace.  .

Future Non Scary Trunk or Treat Ideas

Image
We had a Family Fun Night at our church on Wednesday Oct 31 and the public was invited to participate via flyers and signs.  The two hour fun night had several event areas.  In the sanctuary the teens had a fun 10 minute skit they put on every half hour of the evening.  The one side of the church's parking lot had a huge bouncy house and a dozen or so carnival games with prizes and the other side of the church on the parking lot we had a Trunk or Treat.   I participated on the Trunk or Treat event and unfortunately was so busy I didn't get over to the other events for photos. I was able to photograph some of the other decorated trunks while they were setting up to get future ideas.  It was my first time of participating in this kind of event although my grandkids have gone to them in years past.   I charged it up a bit with some extras at the last minute, like lights and some other decorations.   I repurposed my house decor for one evening...so I didn't

Disney World's Polynesian Resort Hotel

When we first arrived at Disney World we took the boat over to the Magic Kingdom.  Mr. Bill remarked, as we passed the Polynesian Resort, he never had any desire to stay there.  It looked boring to him from the outside.  I hadn't thought much about it, but I did like the lit torches when we passed by on the monorail.  I decided this trip, since we had a free day, we would stop in and tour the three hotels on the line.  We toured the Grand Floridian , the Polynesian Resort and the Contemporary Resort From a distance it doesn't look too exciting.  I could understand his lack of enthusiasm.   When we stepped off the monorail however, the entrance was incredibly gorgeous.  The waterfall was something we hadn't noticed as it was somewhat hidden from the view of the passengers riding.  It was framed by colorful blooms and multiply kinds of foliage.  Completely setting the stage for a visit in the South Seas.   Inside the decor was tropical and spacious with o
