What's A Premio Meme Award???

Beth of "1 Logo a Day" has generously bestowed the Premio Meme Award on us here at Thunder-Moon. It's now our job to post 7 facts about ourselves and then find 7 other people to grace with the beloved Premio Meme. (Why is it beloved??? It's beloved because I SAY it's beloved).

Ok.. so here we go! BUT since you get 2 of us for the price of 1 (you'll always find good prices at Thunder-Moon <-- shameless promotion), you're going to have to suffer through 7 facts about Michael and then 7 more about me.

7 facts about Michael:

1. 1. Michael has lonnnnnnnng grey-brown hair (I'm being kind - it's grey - trust me) that is usually hanging down his back in a ponytail (a hold-over hippie if I ever saw one)
2. Michael is a terrific guitar player and loves all things "guitar"
3. Michael makes the best spaghetti sauce you ever ate
4. Michael has 2 kids - Chelsea (19 - living with us in Delaware when she's not in school or off on a mission trip) and Calen (21 - living in Indiana)
5. Michael takes beautiful, beautiful photographs
6. Michael is happiest in moccasins and a pair of jeans, but no t-shirt, not Michael. Usually, you'll find him in a sport shirt - the brighter the color, the better - or on "hanging around the house" days - a knit shirt with a collar.
7. On that same 'fashion' note, Michael hates khaki's. Hates them, I tell you. He was forced to wear them on his last two jobs and truly, I think it destroyed a little piece of his soul.

7 facts about me

1. I have 3 sons, 3 daughter-in-laws and 5 grandchildren (4 boys and 1 girl) AND a quasi step-daughter - Chelsea, Michael's daughter (who I love as if she were my own and try NOT to smother)
2. I try to live my life in a state of gratitude
3. I can't imagine a day without music in my life (Michael says that the more strings there are [guitars, fiddles, mandolins, ukulele's, banjo's, etc.] the happier I am. True. True.)
4. I had hoped to grow up to be another Glinda, the good witch of the north OR a cowgirl, but it didn’t work out
5. I love to read (and write) - always looking for something good to read
6. I have absolutely no discernment when it comes to movies. Generally, if it's on the big screen, I'm in - and I'll love it, so if you're looking for recommendations, consider mine to be a permanent thumbs-up.
7. Driving is my escape - anywhere - for any length of time - music blasting - freedom!!!

NOW! It is my honor-bound duty to pass on this presigious (*cough cough*) award to 7 fellow blogsters (okay... I did 8. Bad me. Put me in "time out") who are as follows...
