On January 2, 2013, our colleague Jay Morris made my world a brighter place by nominating me for a Sunshine Award.  I was delighted.

There are rules.

First, I must link back to me.  I believe a I must link back to the person who nominated me.  Please click on Thank you Jay.

Second, I must reveal seven facts about myself.  Now, that is very difficult.

Third, I must nominate ten other blogs.  That is also difficult

Let’s go to second:

1. I am respectful of others, whatever their ethnicity, rich or poor.
2. I had a very loving and generous husband.
3. Nature gave me an insightful mind and good looks.
4. Music, the fine arts, books and cats have brought me great pleasure.
5. I enjoy a café society.
6. I prefer the indoors, but let the outdoors in and the indoors out.
7. My favourite outing is joining dear friends for a dinner, or just coffee, and good conversation.

My nominees are:
