I’d like to give a big thank you to Beckie at https://beckiesmentalmess.blog/ for nominating me for the Sunshine Blogger Award. I’m delighted and honored to be recognized by a fellow blogger. If you haven’t read her blog before, please stop by and take a look.

d. Display the award logo on your blog post.
e. Answer the 11 questions asked

Beckie asked the following 11 questions:

1. Do you search for difficult words in your writing? like I do. I have to search for meaning. Rarely, if ever. I’m much more likely to check spelling than meaning or a synonym.
2. What do you prefer tea or coffee? For any specific flavor, please mention the same. I drink more coffee, though I enjoy tea just as much. Force of habit! I take my coffee with a good splash of half & half. I tend to drink mostly herbal teas. Honey Vanilla Chamomile and Vermont Maple are my favorites at the moment. Unless I’m drinking Earl Grey (my favorite of the black teas), I drink my tea plain.
3. Most of the time, I am found writing while walking to and fro in my room, on my phone’s notepad. Do you like writing on phones or tablets or laptops? Always on my laptop.
4. Where would you like to live, if not the current country? Daddy and I make noises about moving to Ireland or Germany from time-to-time.
5. How many books do you have in your own library? Including all of my knitting, crocheting and cookbooks…. a couple hundred.
6. Have you participated in any protests for any social cause? Which one and why? Yes. When I was in college I went to Sacramento with a group of students to protest the increase in student fees. Students from all over the state went and did a sit-in on the lawn of the State Capital.
7. A motivating line of your own, if this was an award given to you on stage. I don’t have a motivational line.
8. What genre do you prefer in movies? Science fiction, fantasy and docu-dramas are at the top of my list, though I’ll watch just about anything if it catches my interest.
9. Are you a bathroom singer? No!
10. How do you spend your Sunday? Sundays are my Wednesdays, so just like any other weekday. Get my husband off to work, clean house a bit, get meals ready. The typical.
11. Do you like watching TV? What do you prefer watching? I go through phases where I don’t turn the TV on at all for months. I’m typically more of a music person. I’m in a TV/Netflix phase at the moment. I prefer movies over TV shows and if I watch shows, I like to binge watch them. Most recent was Hart of Dixie. Was awesome! lol
