I’m Versatile

Way back on July 8, a fellow blogger, Granny1947, gave me a blogging award, The Versatile Blogger.   In the midst of my Dad’s passing and going to Arizona to take care of my grandchildren, I never expressed my appreciation.   Now that I have some time I want to do just that.    Traditionally, when one receives an award like this, he or she graciously passes it along to someone else with no strings attached, but The Versatile Blogger Award comes with some conditions, listed below.   If you are one of my recipients, please understand there is no pressure to pass it on – just know that I enjoy visiting your blog.

The conditions are:
1. Thank the blogger who gave the award and link to their blog
2. Share 7 things about yourself
3. Pass along to 15 bloggers (and link to them)
4. Comment on their blogs to tell them of the award

So, here we go …

1. Thank the blogger who gave the award and link to their blog:

Thank you, Granny1947, for The Versatile Blogger award.   I’m glad you enjoy Older Eyes.  The appreciation is mutual … I enjoy your wry comments on your life and (especially) the photos of your beach.  By the way, I’ve been looking at some of the blogs on your list and have been quite impressed.

2. Share Seven Things About Yourself:

I was born Francis, called Buddy by my parents … now friends call me Bud and colleagues call me Frank.  Who am I, anyway?

I have been a writer posing as an electrical engineer (a very good one) all my life.

I have an unpublished novel called A Dangerous Misconception stored somewhere in my office.

My favorite drink is scotch on the rocks, martini with blue cheese stuffed olive in close second

I am a self-help and spirituality book junkie.

I’m nuts over my grandkids, Reed, Maddux and Savannah

My favorite song is Sky Blue and Black by Jackson Browne.
