Award

I have been given this blog award by Caroline of Standing in the Sunlight. Thanks Caroline! I am to tell you all seven random things about me, then tag seven other bloggers.

1. I have read only one Jane Austen book and that was Pride & Prejudice.
2. My favorite Elizabeth Gaskell film is the BBC North & South (2004).
3. My favorite Narnian is Reepicheep! I loved him in Prince Caspian and can't wait to see him in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. But guess what?!? I have a fear of mice. LOL!
4. I have a weakness for anything that has polka-dots on it.
5. We use to have a dog named Braveheart (he was a yellow lab). He was named after William Wallace. But we all said, "We should have called him, Chickenheart. For he is such a chicken." You see, he was not a brave dog at all. He was scared of mice, vole's, and stairs.   
6. My favorite summer sport is Baseball. My favorite team is the Detroit Tigers.
7. While my two favorite winter sports are Hockey and Ice-skating. =)

I will tag only four bloggers. And they are the following:

Lindsay at Content in Christ
Ella at Ella's Blog
Michaela at The Last Rose of Summer
~Miss Raquel at God's Daughter
