Last week—all the way from Melbourne, Australia—my WANA friend Ellen Gregory gave me a Sunshine Award.

The rules of the Sunshine Award are:
  • Include the award’s logo in a post on your blog.
  • Link to the person who nominated you.
  • Answer the 10 questions below.
  • Pass the award on to a bunch of “Sunshine inspiring” bloggers. The rules say 10 people, but choose however many you like.

And here are the questions: (note: We are talking about Favourites, and that will be Favorites to some of you. See my post on being bilingual.)

Favourite Colour:

Pink, because it’s a bright, alive, happy colour. I love my pink ski jacket and I do some of my best writing when I’m wearing pink socks.

Favourite Animal:

Makita the Labradoodle 

That would be Makita, a Labradoodle, a cross between a Labrador Retriever and a Standard Poodle.

 

 
Favourite number:

13, because there are 13 letters in my name.

Favourite non-alcoholic drink:

Ellen likes a large skinny flat white – which I just discovered is slightly different from a latte. It has a higher ratio of coffee to milk and is more “velvety” in consistency.

My favourite is a grande decaf latte, sometimes skinny, sometimes not. And sometimes I go all out and have a grande caramel Frappuccino.

Favourite alcoholic drink:
a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc called Saint Clair

 

 

Currently, a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc called Saint Clair, Family Estate, Pioneer Block 18.

We had this for Mother’s Day when we were at Notable’s.

 

 

Facebook or Twitter?

Both.

Passions:

Writing, of course.

Prefer getting or giving presents?

Definitely giving. Sometimes I even give myself presents. That way I always get what I want 🙂

Favourite City:

Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Even with the short summers, the Chinooks, and the hail in July, it is still a beautiful city. And I love that it’s close to Banff National Park.

Favourite TV show:

At the moment, Elementary.

And those are my 10 answers. Thank you, Ellen!
You can find Ellen at her blog, to beyond and back.
