And, the Award goes to… ME!

vib

John W Howell, God bless him, bestowed two awards on me yesterday. John runs Fiction Favorites, a blog for exchanging information and ideas about fiction favorites. It’d be well worth your time to go over and wander around his blog and pick up some of the many gems of information there!

So, here I sit, proud as a whitewashed pig, with The Versatile Blogger and the Very Inspiring Blogger awards. Oh, and the rules for accepting the award are:

  1. Display the Award Certificate on your website
  2. Announce your win with a post and link to whoever presented your award
  3. Present 15 awards to deserving bloggers
  4. Drop them a comment to tip them off after linking them in the post, and
  5. Post seven interesting things about yourself.

The fifteen bloggers I’m awarding represent the cream of the crop in the blogosphere. Some have received multiple awards in the past; others have received perhaps, fewer. All, though, are worth the time you’ll spend reading their posts for information, entertainment and a few laughs along the way.

And here now, without further ado, are my nominations for The Versatile Blogger Award and the Very Inspiring Blogger Award!

Seven interesting things about myself. I find myself decidedly ordinary and coming up with seven “interesting” factoids won’t be easy. Let’s see what Zeek thinks and whether he can come up with the requisite number of truly interesting facts.

And, the boy came through for me. Here are seven interesting things about me from a different perspective. I’m pasting them in raw, with no editorial “tampering”.

1 wakes up very early in the morning, don’t talk to him for at least 2 hours, offer him coffee he will smile!

2 lovley, exciting to be around  fun , sometimes advenetrous some others not at all!

3 grumpy in winter, much more alive in summer ( joints pain)

4 imaginative, funny , if you poke him he will jump!

5 swears a lot when he cooks something and it doesn’t turn out to be a good dish

6 give him a book and he wont speak for a week !

7 scary person when he loses his glasses, he sees weird things. and he loses them lots, sometimes they are on his head, or hanging on his chest.

Thank you again, John for these two very lovely awards! I shall treasure them and I sure hope that you, Gentle Readers, will find this post entertaining.

About Ol' Big Jim

Jim L Wright has been a storekeeper, an embalmer, a hospital orderly, and a pathology medical coder, and through it all, a teller of tall tales. Many of his stories, like his first book, New Yesterdays, are set in his hometown of Piedmont, Alabama. For seven years he lived in the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world, Amman, Jordan where he spent his time trying to visit every one of the thousands of Ammani coffee shops and scribbling in his ever-present notebook. These days he and his husband, Zeek, live in a cozy little house in Leeds, Alabama. He’s still scribbling in his notebooks when he isn’t gardening or refinishing a lovely bit of furniture. His book, New Yesterdays, can be found at Amazon US, Amazon UK, Smashwords, and Barnes and Noble.
