Awards galore

Okay, I'll admit, that I was hoping for the "Smokin' Typewriter", because that is just about the coolest award around. Not to discount any other awards, but I love the typewriter. :)



I received this lovely award from Kelly at Heathen Family Revival. Thank you so much, Kelly.

Part of accepting this award is to google my name. Now there is a challenge like no other. My first name happens to be the word for an Indian tribe. So if all I type in is my first name, there will be a lot of that. And because learning is fun, here is some interesting stuff about me... or well... the tribe.

1. The Utes (/juːts/; "yoots") are an ethnically related group of American Indians now living primarily in Utah and Colorado.

2. It is believed that the Ute have been in this area for ten thousand years, which establishes them as far back as the Archaic-Desert culture

3. The Ute Indians lived apart from most tribes. They lived on the plains and in the mountains of an area covering about 150000 square miles.

4. UTE Microwave produces a broad range of ferrite devices for use in military, commercial, medical and scientific applications. (Uh... right.)

I'm going to give this award to three ladies, whose "typewriters" are smokin'!!

  1. I googled my name once (shameful, I know) and found out that a woman the same age as me, with the same unusual name, down in KY, is running all kind of marathons, doing all types of international charity work and just generally being quite amazing. Occasionally I'll look her (me) up and say highly ridiculous things to myself like, "Well, look at that. I really made good time last weekend at Marathon X." or "I'm so glad I was able to procure a cure for Typhus down in Sumatra last month."

  3. Oh, Freckle, I'm sorry I gave you the wrong award! I thought you'd like the Kreativ one because of the whole foreign language thing. LOL Anyway, I'm glad Kelly passed the Smoking
    Typewriter along to you!!! :)

    Oh my gosh, I'm cracking up at obimomkenobi's comment...

  6. Aw thanks. I shall have a go at this next. Sounds fun. I don't put awards up (it ain't my style - but I do like to get them!) but I shall regard it as a tag and link to you. Hope that is OK.
