Things You Didn't Know About Me
Go Right In...My Garden and Casa Mariposa have both awarded me the Stylist Blogger Award. What an honor! I am so very appreciative that they thought of my blog. Thank you!
Here are the rules when accepting this award:

2. Share 7 random things about yourself.
3. Award 15 recently discovered bloggers
4. Drop them a note, and tell them about it!
So, here are seven things you probably didn't know about me...
1. The seemingly easy question "where are you from?" stumps me because
I have lived in 7 states in the United States (Michigan, Washington State, Wisconsin, Illinois, Maryland, Georgia, and Texas) and 3 different countries (Germany, Belgium and The Netherlands) and the longest I have lived in any one house is 8 years.

2. I speak 4 languages, some more fluently than others (German, English, Dutch, French).
3. I am a morning person but don't ask me to carry on a civilized conversation until I have had my morning cup of coffee.
4. Georgia O'Keefe is my favorite painter.
5. My dad was an excellent, amateur photographer and it is because of him that I developed my passion for photography. I use to help him develop his photos in his basement darkroom when I was a child. My dad and Ansel Adams are my idols.
6. Although I love to travel, I equally enjoy being at home. My best days are spent out in the garden, baking and cooking for family and friends or decorating my house.
7. My favorite movie genre is Period Piece Dramas.
I follow many blogs that are smart, funny, intellectually stimulating and full of personality. They all deserve this award. Here are a few blogs that I have most recently discovered.
