It is far easier to give than to receive.
As I get older I am trying to learn the value in being a gracious receiver so that other's may have the joy of giving.
Sweet Lisa of The Lisa Porter Collection very kindly sent me
The Honest Scrap Award.
It is intended to find out some interesting tidbits about the recipient. I do think we bloggers are an interesting lot.
Lisa is one of the most warm, kindhearted and loving bloggy friends I know! She is one talented lady, and beautiful watercolorist. She is a mom extraordinaire to two teenagers and one tail wagger and her Mr. is one lucky man!

Renae,
ReplyDeleteI thought I knew you pretty well but you never cease to amaze me! My goodness, triathlons & the cello! You are so very talented. I think most Girl Scouts are. I never got past being a Blue Bird and you know why, because we also moved so much & I was a shy one. Anyway, thank you for your very kind comments & I know your readers will so enjoy finding that there is even more to love about Renae!
xo Lisa
Merci Renae...I am honored! That's not you in the picture with the cello, is it? What an incredibly adorable picture. I'm impressed with your fitness background as well. I go whole hog on hiking/running the hills nearby for months, then slack off, then start off again. I could have used a military background. Trish
ReplyDeleteRenae, how fascinating! Your background is full of surprises and big accomplishments!
ReplyDeleteI agree w/Karena; you are very accomplished in many different fields.

ReplyDeleteRenae,
ReplyDeleteYou are so multitalented! It was so fun to learn more about the exceptional person you are. You're a sweetheart! xo
Renae, I'm sorry to be so late to thank you for the award! And after reading your fun facts about yourself, I'm feeling completely inadequate so I'll have to give some thought to what I think anyone wants to know about boring old me! ; )
