Questions Answered for the Sunshine Blogger Award

Hello Dear Blog Peeps.

Today I am answering 11 questions for the Sunshine Blogger Award, sent to me by Linda O’Connell, fellow Blogger, and prolific writer.

 Her blog is Write from the Heart.

If you read the list of places where her writing has been published, you’d flip your lid. She is a retired pre-school teacher who loved her little charges with a passion. 

She is married to her forever love, Bill, and is a proud Grandma and Great Grandma.  Linda has a wonderful sense of humor, too.  Be sure to check out her blog.

Thanks for the Sunshine Blogger nomination, Linda.

I nominate KIT from A Montana Life, TAMMY from Ts Daily Treasures, and TARYTERRE from her blog of the same name!
