Sunday’s Mystery In The Rain.
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;
- I love gardening. However, now that I live in an apartment that is no longer possible. I did try container gardening my first summer here but someone trashed all my plants one night so I decided not to try again.
- I enjoy old movies from the Golden Age of movies. That’s movies from the 1930s to the 1950s.
- I collect rocks and minerals. I started that collection when I was 10 and I still enjoy it.
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…
- How long have you been in your blogging journey?
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.
- Do you like rainy days?
- Do you enjoy reading?
- Do you watch TV on a daily basis?
- Do you keep up with current news?
- Have you ever been so frustrated with your computer/laptop/phone that you felt like tossing it out the door?
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;

Saturday’s Fun!
Greetings to everyone on this another beautiful spring morning! I have received several awards lately that I haven’t done yet, my apologies to everyone for getting so far behind! So now I will begin to change that, and I will do them in the order they were received. By the way, I truly do appreciate being nominated for these awards and love to do them as well. It’s an interesting way to learn more about the person behind the blog. So, for this first one, The Versatile Blogger Award, I was nominated by Huguette over at https://huguetteantoun.com , she is a great blogger and has a wonderful blog. She doesn’t mind talking straight, unlike most people who just kind of tiptoe around things. If you haven’t been to her blog, please check it out. Thank you Huguette for this nomination, I do appreciate it, even though I might be a bit slow.
The Versatile Blogger Award was created to celebrate blogs who have unique content, strong writing, and beautiful images or photographs.
Here are the rules for this award:
- Thank the person who nominated you.
- Link to the blog of the person who nominated you.
- State 7 facts about yourself.
- Nominate other bloggers who bring joy into your daily life.
Okay, now I’m supposed to tell 7 facts about myself. Hmm, this could be hard to come up with 7 things worth mentioning. Oh well, here goes;
- My favorite animal; cats, for domestic it would be calico (or tortoiseshell, which is the same thing but opposite in color), for wild cats it would be tiger, jaguar and ocelot.
- My favorite color is BLUE. But you knew that already, except some of my newest followers.
- I LOVE warm places!! That’s a new one. If I could, I would move to a warm place tomorrow.
- I live in one of the coldest places on this planet. Or at least in Canada. Or both.
- I enjoy writing poems, as long as I don’t have to follow poetry rules. I have my own style, which is no style, but that keeps it fun. I could probably write better poetry if I lived in a warm place.
- I live in a small apartment this is FULL of stuff. No, I’m not a hoarder, it’s good stuff, but the previous place I lived was much bigger.
- I could be happy living most anywhere. As long as it’s warm. It must be warm. Otherwise I may as well stay here. Well, I guess one other thing could make me move even if it wasn’t a warm place. But being warm would definitely be a plus.
- MEOW!! Chomp! AAAAAAAA!!!!!! Bandages! Okay, okay, I also have a cat that helps me with my blog and she especially likes helping with these awards and I almost forgot to include her and her name is Muffin and my foot HURTS!
I think I mentioned something about rules earlier. Oh well. Now for my nominees, it doesn’t say how many so here goes;

Well, you will have to read to find out if you are nominated or not, I hope you will all participate even if you have done this award before, remember, it’s the fun behind it and getting to know bloggers better. Have a great weekend everyone and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.
