I've had the extraordinary honor of being nominated for my third Liebster Award. Thank you Brandy (Brandy's Bustlings) for believing me worthy of such an award. I appreciate it very much.
Eleven things about myself:
- I'm a former teacher of equitation. Some people say I was very patient. If that's true, it's probably because it took me forever to learn how to ride, so I sympathized with beginners, in particular.
- My dad was conservative with his money. I used to say that if he had to pay for all the lessons he gave me, I wouldn't have gotten too far.D
- I studied Medical Coding and Switchboard, but didn't get a job doing either of them.
- My first car was a red Plymouth station wagon. Now I never buy red cars because they seem to attract accidents.
- During a hurricane, the chimney fell into the top floor of our house. (No one was hurt, Thank God)
- The Courvoisier Whiskey company used to raffle off an Arabian horse every year. We boarded one of them at our farm.
- My sisters both were winning in horse shows at ages 3 and 5.
- My dad was renowned as a watchmaker and jeweler. He started his own business at about 10 years old. He was also an accomplished horseman.
- My husband's passion is cars. We think our cars are members of the family so we name them.
- I used to work as a customer service rep.
- My absolute favorite dessert is cheesecake.We used to live about a half an hour away from 2 different restaurants that specialized in cheesecake. We went there for little celebrations whenever we could. The next day, I'd swear I could see where the cheesecake settled in!

Wow! That was super fast! You are a rock star! Great answers to my questions; I want one of those Toasted Almond Bars and maybe some cheesecake now too!
ReplyDeleteBrandy's Bustlings
Oh, wish I could buy you the toasted almond bar and the cheesecake! The two restaurants we used to visit were in North Miami and it was worth the trip! They even had different flavors, like chocolate and marble cheesecake!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, Brandy. I always love hearing from you.
That had to be scary to have your chimney fall into your house! I'm glad nobody was hurt!
ReplyDeleteIt was. I think it was a miracle that no one was hurt. My parents had just remodeled the house and had to redo everything after that. I'd like to email you a picture of our house. It used to be my favorite place.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the award! You most definitely made my day! Unfortunately, I have already received this award in the past. However, I will be more than willing to answer your questions on my blog. You are just wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI can testify that red cars seem to attract accidents, as my brother has a red car and has been in numerous accidents and I like cheesecake too.
It's okay, Murees, because I've received it before as well. You can do whatever you're comfortable with. So glad to have lifted your spirits. I think whenever you are recognized for your talent, it boots your confidence.
ReplyDeleteI hope your brother is very careful with his car. All of the red cars we've owned have been involved in accidents, so we avoid them at all costs now.
My Godmother used to make amazing cheeesecake. It took 5 hours to make. ti could really give the cheesecake restaurants some serious competition.
Have a great weekend.
I loved learning more about you Deanie through your answers to those questions. Interesting life!
ReplyDeleteDo I answer the questions about summer?
Thanks for the nomination!
Yes, Carla, I think you can either answer my questions, or you can make new ones if you choose to. Glad that you liked learning a little more about me and my family. Always glad to hear from you. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
ReplyDeleteI'm honored you picked me, Deanie, for the Liebster award. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI used to love riding. I took lessons, and right before my first competition the horse for some reason bolted or was scared of the coming jump and the horse actually fell over with me atop. I broke my clavicle in my shoulder. My instructor tossed me right back up on that horse and said I must ride right away so I'm not scared to get up again.
What a shame that you had that kind of terrible experience, Cathrina! It ruined everything for you and you used to love to ride.It's really a fun thing to do, but you have to use some wisdom and good judgement when you're teaching.
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome for the award. It was my pleasure to choose you.
Thanks so much for choosing me for this award, Deanie, I am truly grateful.
ReplyDeleteHorses are also one of my favourite animals. I was brought up in the racing game, my relatives are jockeys, trainers and bookmakers.
You're welcome, Carolyn! It's so exciting that your family is in racing! I love racing. When I was little I made a scrapbook of my favorite racehorses. Now we even have a channel on TV that has only racing and equestrian stuff. It's great. My husband loves cars and he signed up for that channel because the thought it was Hot Rod TV! D
ReplyDeleteCongrats on receiving the award again, Deanie!
ReplyDeleteWarm weather is the best in my opinion too :)
Thanks, Katherine! Being chosen for another award was such a nice surprise and Summer is the most fun, I agree. D Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I love to hear from you.
