Oh this is too sweet and kind

I have won an award from the wonderful and sweet S.B. Poscente. Please check out her blog. She talks straight from her heart good thought provoking subjects.


   
I live in Florida and drive by the strawberry fields often. I love to attend the Strawberry Festival close by as well. This pie or cake whichever the case may be, reminds me of these wonderful times I've had there. So, thank you very much S.B. I greatly appreciate it.

Here are the rules:
1) Thank and link to the person that nominated you.
2) Share 7 random facts about yourself.
3) Pass the award to 15 of your blogging buddies.
4) Notify the recipients.

7 random facts:

1) I was born at home and then taken to the hospital.
2) All my childhood I was fascinated with mobsters and how they did business.
3) I was also fascinated by how organized Captain Kirk was I became a huge fan of Star Trek.
4) I wrote a science fiction story at the age of ten and presented it to my older brother as fact saying it happened to me.
5) I learned from mobster never to sit with my back towards the door in restaurants and now it's a bad habit.
6) I had a rock jazz band and we wrote our own music. Everyone loved us but being more interested in girls I could never organize them to do anything serious.
7) I wrote some of the music for my wedding and friends with a professional band played.

And here are the winners I've chosen who truly deserve the award.

  1. Those are some zany 'thangs' about Orlando, and man can I relate to #6! Back in my Hippie Rock & Roll days as a wild young man, I played with a lot of bands, wrote and performed lots of original music, travelled, did all the drugs, chicks and free love sex, all that. But this one band really had a chance to make it - had a Columbia Records deal looming promising. Then the doggone band broke up ... over girls!

    Sheesh. So anyhowzit, living that life too much longer might've killed the Old Silly before he had a chance to get old, lol.

    Hey thanks for thinking of me, the shout and award, I don't do meme tag games anymore, used to when I was starting out as a blogger, but ... I do thank you and accept. I'll put this on my "Blog Awards" page on Free Spirit, and put in a thank you plug linked back to your fine blog on a soon to come post.

    Peace Bro, and Out!

  6. Hey Orlando, I like strawberries! Isn't the net a great place? Especially when people are helpful and supportive? What did we ever do without it? It must have been a dark age without light and hope (shiver).

  7. Thanks, Orlando! That was very sweet of you! ;)
    I was a big Star Trek fan as a kid, too. My brother had the model of the Star Ship Enterprise with the revolving transporter. We spent hours playing with that thing. And then when Star Wars came out, we got into Mash-ups (before they were popular!)

  9. Hey, at least you have a realistic reason to never sit with your back to the door. I can't sleep facing away from the door, with no logical excuse. It just freaks me out.
    Thanks for passing it on, Orlando, and for the kind words. I appreciate it.
    I'm also very glad you love strawberries! =P

  11. Yes, My husband is a WONDERFUL and SWEET man. He knows how to make me smile and laugh, brings me up when I am feeling down and tells me I'm beautiful even when I am looking my worst (well to me anyway.) lol. I love and support him as he loves and supports me. He's my Knight and Shining Amor, he had truly rescued me. I love you babe!
