A big thank you to Sandi for nominating my site for the “One Lovely Blog Award.” I have only recently met Sandi through the Blogging 101 course and have found her blog, Sappy as a Tree, wonderful inspiration and a welcome read. Thank you Sandi for nominating me. I humbly accept.

Now, for the seven fun facts about me, the woman in the Cow Pasture:

1. I have a Master’s  Degree in Nursing Administration.
2. My career spanned from delivering babies to end of life Hospice Care.
3. During my career, I was the first Bone & Tissue Transplant Coordinator for Red Cross, covering seven  counties in the state of  SC.
4. I have 8 grandchildren.
5. I spent 10 days in Paris this past April with my youngest daughter, for her birthday.
6. My first published article was, “How Do I Ask?”  published in 1989 in Nursing ’89 on transplantation.
7. My favorite genre to read and write is crime. I love exploring the dark edge of humanity.

I happily pass on the nomination to the following 15 blogs (in no particular order). The rules to accept the award are as follows:

• * Thank the person who nominated you for the award.
• * Add the One Lovely Blog logo to your post.
