We’re happy to share the love. This award is given to bloggers by bloggers following these rules:
1. Thank the person who nominated me and link back to them in my post.
2. Share 7 things about myself.
3. Pass the award on to 15 more bloggers that I enjoy.

First, the trivia.

4. We moved ten times in our first twelve years of marriage.
5. This fall my daughter and I discovered needle felting.
6. Yesterday I received a pair of arm warmers, like these. Mmm.

Chie:
1. I love it when someone shares their home cooking.
2. I love to sing.
3. My freezer is stocked with blueberries my son and I picked in the summer.
