Blogger Award

Thank you so much to a very kind blogger Tammy from Fit and Fab who nominated my blog for the above award, *I love your blog as well*...
I'm so enjoying these awards that are going around and really get so much pleasure from receiving them...thanks again Tammy.
Now I have to nominate 7 other bloggers for this award..so here goes.
Steffi - my German blogger friend who makes my granddaughter the most beautiful dresses.
Fran - my Dutch blogger friend whom I'm hoping to met and have a run with in the future.
Cessie - my first Dutch blogger friend who I met in person, she now lives in China.
Kathy - A South African who lives in Germany, had the pleasure of spending a weekend with her and her family.
Tigerlilly - A blogger on such an exciting weightloss journey, she inspires me.
Corey - The best photographer and story teller rolled into one. She's the best in blogworld.
Avril - A friend in South Africa who shares her life with her grandchildren which I relate to.
I love so many of you other bloggers, how can they make me pin point only 7, doesnt seem right....but I know many of you have received this award already and want to share it with bloggers who are not in the Weighloss circle ....
I have one male blogger I have to mention ...he and I enjoy many *giggles* together...
Love your visits and comments - I'm always left feeling uplifted after you've visited...thank so much for that...
Anyone wanting to learn more about South Africa - this is the blog to read.
Now I have to mention 6 things about me that you don't already know.
1. I've had 5 different surnames in my 47 years
2. I gave birth to a 10lb ( 5kg ) baby girl 23 years ago tomorrow ( 29th October )
3. I took a group of women over to USA for the World Aerobic Championships where we won a gold medal.
4. I attended a catholic convent school most of my life
5. I'm a qualified Johnny G spinning instructor but hate cycling outdoors.
6. My two grandpa's have touched my life more than any other person I know. I wish they were still around - they were the two men I loved with all my heart.
~ Thanks for visiting my blog ~

Wow! Your group won a gold medal in Aerobics? That's amazing. Of course I'm most impressed with the 10 pound baby. Yikes! My biggest was 9 lb 2 ounces and I thought he was huge.

Awweeee.... For me? I feel... a *giggle* coming on.
Thanks for the award. Its always a great feeling when somebody mentions one on their blogs. Its good to be appreciated out there. I have decided not to thank a whole list of other people today (just you) as I may just leave somebody out.

Am I like one of the only guys that hand out at your blog. Must be that 'softer' side of me. *giggle*

Congrats on the award and Thanks *blush* for mine :-). I haven't even blogged about my former one but will combine the two in one blog entry in the coming week hopefully.

So funny to read your #5.... I knew about your outdoor cycling but not about the spinning lol.
Love your #6!! It's so great to have (had) people in your life who inspired you!!
