Thank you, Vanessa Grillone, for the award. As part of the rules for accepting this award, I am to list seven things about myself and then pass the award onto other bloggers. 1. I have a brown belt in Shotokan karate. 2. I am addicted completely and thoroughly to Tim Horton's iced cappuccinos. 3. I collect fine wines but don't drink wine. 4. I hate to write, but love having written. 5. I love Boston Terriers. 6. Stephen King is my hero. 7. My daughters are my best friends. I'm supposed to nominate a whole bunch of blogs to pass the award onto but I can only come up with a few. 1. Joy Campbell http://www.joylcampbell.com/ 2.
