A book, awards, fun and games...

My book arrived today from Karla at Ramblin' Roads! She thought I might be a "rattled" Granny since I haven't taken care of a baby in 8 years! Thank you so much Karla. I know this little book is going to come in handy!

I received this award from my new buddy and hammered dulcimer player, Mike at Rambling Stuff. Thank you, Mike. I'm honored that you thought of me. If you haven't visited Mike yet, go on over and say hello. He has a link to a video of a very talented girl playing the hammered dulcimer.

The following awards are from my sweet friend and coffee buddy, Karen at Karen's Korner. I love to tease Karen about visiting everybody very early in the morning and drinking all the coffee before I get there! We have had lots of fun with that one! Thank you so much, Karen, for passing these along. I will treasure all these awards!

When I did this post with a list of my weirdness, one thing on my list was the fact that I can write backwards. Karen commented that I should show this talent on my blog sometime! Okay, Karen, you asked for it! Here's a sample:

Now get those hand mirrors out and tell me what it says! Maybe some of you have the talent to read backwards which would be helpful here! Then after you've done that fun game, look at this 3D stereogram and see if you can see the picture within a picture:

Have a fun Thursday, all.

Good Morning Hope,
I hope you have some coffee made. If not, I will make it myself and drink it all before you wake up. LOL. I do enjoy our teasing each other that way. I'm glad to see you received the book. Now maybe you can learn things on how to care for a baby again. LOL. I really don't think anyone ever forgets how to. It all comes back to them in time. "CONGRATULATION'S" on the very well deserved Award from Mike. I have been visiting him on a regular basis myself. He is on my blogroll and I was just over there a few minutes ago. I did enjoy listening to the lady playing the Dulcimer. You are most Welcome for the Awards that I gave you. You deserve everyone of them. "THANK YOU" for sharing your Talent of writing backwards. Here is what I get from it. How Many of You Were ?????????? About My Talent? Okay, I can't make out that one word. LOL. Oh well, I did my best and I don't have a small mirror. On the 3-D Picture I can see Butterflies. I can't usually see 3-D Pictures that well or movies either with my eye handicap that i have. Take care my friend and have a great day. Boy, that coffee sure was good. I do hope you will drop by for coffee at my place. You know I always leave a little for you. LOL. May God Bless You and Yours.

Love & Hugs,
Karen H.

Mary Isabella and Kiley too! said...

Impressive ability. Congraulations on all of your awards...Smiles

Karla Cook @ Roads to Everywhere said...

Glad you got the book!

I was not SKEPTICAL about your talent! I'm impressed, though. (And no, I didn't have to have a mirror to read it.)

And I saw the butterfly. I always have to get up real close to those kinds of pictures and then back away slowly to make the "secret" picture pop out.

Fun post!

I visit Mike and he is a nice person. I hate it that he has health problems but I REALLY like his positive attitude. He has been sick lately though. Nice person.

Congratulations on the awards. You deserve all the awards you can get!!!!! I tried to do the Eye thingy and It worked but I couldn't tell what I was supposed to see. It popped out three D but no image. I love those books though! Jennifer

Congrats on your awards, Hope, and very deserving you are. ;-)

Actually, I CAN read backwards so I wasn't skeptical at all about your talent to write backwards. :-)

Hello Hope.....
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment for me, its always good to meet a new fellow blogger.

I had no problem reading your writing backwards, but I’ve never been any good at 3D stereograms. Have a great weekend. Marion

Betty said...

Congratulations on your awards, Hope. Wow, that's neat the way you can write backwards. I hope you don't think backwards, tee hee.

I'm going shopping in a little bit. Maybe I'll look for a webcam. (Private Joke)
