For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Well, here we are on a rainy Sunday morning which makes it a good time to do another award post. This time I was nominated for the Mystery Blogger Award by my friend Ilona. She is a wonderful person with a very interesting blog where she talks of many subjects and always has something to help motivate you each day. Thank you for nominating me Ilona.
Rules:
Put the award logo/image on your blog
List the rules.
Thank whoever nominated you and provide a link to their blog.
Mention the creator of the award and provide a link as well.
Tell your readers 3 things about yourself
You have to nominate 10-20 people
Notify your nominees by commenting on their blog
Ask your nominees any 5 questions of your choice; with one weird or funny question
Share a link to your best posts.
Okay, now to list 3 things about myself. This is always the hard part, but here goes;
Now look at that. Notice I did not mention that I love warm places this time. I told myself when I started to do this award that I would not mention the fact that I love warm places this time, and I did it. You may clap if you wish.
Now it’s time for Ilona’s questions. I notice that everyone gives me hard questions. What’s wrong with easy questions? Well, okay, these questions are not too bad, so…
I had to look this up, terrible I know, but I started in July of 2017. My blog has changed a bit since then. But it’s still fun. I think.
2. Do you like comics, if you do which one is your favourite?
Yes. Does Garfield count? He’s my favorite comic hero cat! Wrong kind of comics? Does Spiderman count? Or Captain America?
3. Do you think we are alone in the universe?
Yes. That was an easy one. If you disagree and want to argue about it, forget it. I don’t argue. Sorry about that.
4. Shower or Bath?
Shower most of the time, bath if I really want to relax. I really like easy.
5. London or Paris?
For a visit, both of them. To live, neither of them.
Now I’m supposed to share a link to my best posts. But that would suggest that some of my posts are no good. I like them all, but then, I am a bit biased on that.
Now I have to come up with 5 questions for my nominees. This part can be hard.
See? I use easy questions. Oh well. Now I’m supposed to nominate 5 people. Yes, I know what it says, but there’s only 5 questions. Anyway, you will have to check and see if you are on the list because I’m a rule breaker and I won’t notify you. I know. I’m a terrible person. Here you are;

Oh good, because if I recall correctly-don’t you like warm? 🙃
Earwigs, spittlebugs, coddling moths, oh my! I squish and squash cucumber beetles and little green worms. It is a terrible day for pesky pests! Muwahahaha…..

Spittlebugs we do get and those little green worms, I suppose the others are around, but I have never encountered them. One of these days I’m going to do a post on why I love warm places. Not that I have been to any exotic warm places. Warmest place I’ve been is Texas. I just don’t travel anymore. Besides, Muffin wouldn’t like being alone and traveling with her…wouldn’t be a fun idea!😂😾

Should I mention that I also collect rocks? I like to tumble agate stones. Always looking for heart shaped stones. Never to throw at anyone…

You can find agates there? Cool. I used to tumble stones, mostly amethyst and smoky quartz (that was totally black). But my tumbler quit working and I just never got back at it. You don’t throw stones?😂😁

On the coast yes, Agate beach. The Chetco river water looks a green color from serpentine. Occasionally we find and an obsidian chip and arrowhead.
No stone unturned, wait no turn unstoned—ah I’m all confused. This place has gone to the birds!

Serpentine and obsidian too, not bad! Arrowheads can sometimes be found here along the lake shore, but they have to be turned over to the government, not legal to collect them anymore. Keep turning those stones, but don’t let them fall on your foot!😂
