ReplyDeleteLovely post, and it was very nice to learn a little more about you.
That's one thing I've liked a lot about these awards, it's fun to learn more about our blog friends!
Love,
Eileen
Not only Amen, but Amen, Amen Alleleuia!!
ReplyDeleteLove that river and can see myself sitting beside it or even on a rock in it since it has those slopes on the sides!
It's fun learning new things about each other in our blog Village, so thx for doing this!
blessings and hugs,

Hi Beck,
ReplyDeleteNice talking with you today. Love that picture, just saw a flowing creek on the worship chanel and thought I would love to stick my feet in there right now!!
I did not know you had 4 miscarriages, wow, think you could have 8 children down here.
Nice to know you will get to meet them someday.
Isn't it so neat to have that hope!!
I think most of us are our own worst enemies really! I am learning slowly not to be, but it is a slow dying thing!!
Did you get in a nice swim?? and did you get
to visit with Wendy?? Can't wait to see Audrey the next time, these children grown so fast it is amazing.
Have a great night hon, glad yall had fun at
Universal.
Love ya, Nellie
I say you need to start an "Italy" vacation fund today!!! I did something like this awhile ago and may pull it out of the archives to run again. Love the picture. Love streams and watching them. They're so relaxing. Enjoy your day!!!
ReplyDeleteA HUGE AMEN!!!!
ReplyDeleteTHANKS FOR POSTING THAT...I LEARNED ALOT!
YOU'RE ONE OF THE BLOGGERS I JUST HAVE TO MEET ONE OF THESE DAYS!
HAVE A BLESSED EVENING IN YOUR CORNER OF THE WORLD! KEEP LETTING YOU LIGHT SHINE.
LOVE,
LIESA
PS. AND YES, I REALLY WANTED TO KNOW!!! HA.
ReplyDeleteOh, Becky dear what a fun list to read! You sound like my mother-in-law on the subject of height. She is the runt of her family and always tells me how happy she is that I am tall (I am 5'10") and that her granddaughter, my Mary girl, is going to be tall:) It is so fun to learn new things about my friends in blog land. That is a lovely picture of the river. Good job! Hugs, Elena
ReplyDeleteAmen is right! that was fun. we have a couple things in common too. and i think you make beautiful jewelry!
ReplyDeleteHey There, Hi There, Ho There!
ReplyDeleteSee...that wasn't so painful was it? Looks at all the neat things everyone gets to learn about you that we would have never known! 5'2 +1/2???
I am going to tower over you at 5'8" and therefore will have ample view to give you noogies if necessary! Have you ever watched the movie Enchanted April? It's about tow friends who rent a villa in Italy. You would definately be Lottie! Please rent it sometime if you haven't seen it, it make me think of me and you :)
Hugs, Sunshine and Happiness,
BFF Nancy, Mistress of Cottage de la Acorn
Wish I were sitting by that lovely stream right now! Been a busy busy first week back to school.
ReplyDeleteFeel like I know you a little better now. Interesting!
Have a blessed one. Hugs!
I KNEW you were taller than me!
ReplyDeleteBlessings sweet friend.
You are loved.
See, I knew you were similar to me. I am so a denim girl too! No fufu around here. Sorry. Thanks for sharing and being a good sport about the tag. I knew you were tag free but had to "know" more. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a FAB day Becky!
Hugs!

ReplyDeleteI loved reading this, Becky! I think I knew everything except that you are not tall. For some reason I pictured you as tall. I am the shortest one in my family too but I am 5'7.75" tall. I like my fraction of an inch..it helps at the scale. :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a great day, Beck!
Love, Bonnie
Oh, and I didn't know that you cry over everything...me too! ♥
ReplyDeleteThank you for the sweet note Becky. I so appreciate the prayers of Gods girls... I know God is working for the good, as I keep my focus upon His word, in faith.
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed weekend!
Hugs to you, my new friend :)
Robin
This made me smile so much Becky - my Mum is 4'11 and a half, and just like you that half is all important!!
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a good week and that you and your family have a lovely weekend - you know how much I love coming over here to read your wonderful, uplifting posts!

PS When you do eventually make that trip to Italy be sure to pop in, we're right on the way!!
A-men!
ReplyDeleteI loved learning a little more about you!!
Everything makes me cry too!
Amen!!!! The best one - knowing we are sister's!! That even if Florida is far away from Washington we will get to hug each other someday!!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I'm the shortest in my family also - at just 4'11" and I'm a cry baby too - my kids think it's funny :0)!!
that was a great post and a great list!
ReplyDeletehave a wonderful weekend~

Sweet and dear Becky....
ReplyDeleteHmmmm......I think I'm going to need to write a book in response to this fab post!
Ahhhhhhh........JESUS....I wonder how some people can go a day without Him. So much to say here....He has blessed me so far above whatever I could WANT or ASK....My comfort and my Saviour. Blessed, for sure.
The River? How stunning is that view? It's as though it says PEACE, isn't it? Delish!
Short????? Yeah, me too........5'2"....no half here....and stretching to get the 2"....my daughter is 5'10! How in the heck did that happen? She started patting me on the head when she was about 12 or 13!
I love making jewelry too, but don't make the beads. It's on my list of things I want to learn to do. I think jewelry making is my all time favorite thing to create.
Yep, perfectionist too. It really holds me up from getting into things sometimes. That, and I hate to make a mess. And, believe me....I can make a BIG mess.
Crying....yep.....commercials, beauty....my grandson....except when I really should cry. No tears then.
Go here to see the island....I'm such a cheap girl...I'll do anything to save a buck!

I don't think you're going to have any more room for other responses now....does blogger condense books?
Big hugs sweet Becky! Have a wonderful weekend.

BeckyBeckyBecky,
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you decided to do this tag because I got to learn all these fun things about wonderful you!!!
Wish we could go kayakin together after we made beads and whipped up a cute bracelet. When all that's said n done, we could watch a commercial and cry a little; ya lil bawlbaby. heehee (Had ta throw that one in.)
Now, about that purging thing... you gotta write me back and tell me JUST HOW ONE DOES THAT? I'm turning into a packrat. SOS!!!
Holykisses,

Amen Becky. I love #10 the best! Thanks for letting us get to know you even better!
ReplyDeleteStay Cozy, Carrie
This was fun! I thought you had 2 children! Now I want to see the beads you make and the lamps! I want a little one! So put me on your list! I love to buy one. I just know they are lovely! My sister lived in Italy, brought me back an antique armoire. I just want to go to Colorado! lol Outdoors! Yes you are are a true Florida Girl! I been outdoors all morning with my chicks! Now I got to do a rooster post and back to my library shelves! OK , maybe tomorrow! lol I missed stopping by, but had lots of funeral, Doc and test appointments. And so much on my mind, I'm doing better! I drove, 30 min away! You should have seen her face when I told her I was driving! lol But after walking in Walmart,and another store, my daughter had to drive home.
ReplyDeleteHey sweet Becky- if we ever meet we can look each other right in the eyes ( and then give a big hug!:)cause I'm 5'3"!:)
