My blogging friend Dawn of Dawn’s Diversions gave me a Happiness Blogging Award. Dawn is a very sweet lady with a nice family. I have learned a lot about blogging. She is a great commenter. You know us bloggers love comments, right? (that’s a hint folks).
Anyway, I am supposed to list ten things I love and then pass the award on to ten other bloggers.
Here is a list of my loves.
- Sweetie – We have been married for twenty years and she has always been there for me.She is a great wife and mother to our child and my best friend, and she reads my blog.
- SuperPizzaBoy – I couldn’t ask for a better son. I am so proud of him. He is a good kid and humors his Dad when I take him geocaching.
- My Family – My Sister Ellen (another faithful reader), her husband Irv, there three children Dana, Mary, and Jillian and Mary’s son Shiloh, my Brother Bob, my Father, and my departed Mother. I couldn’t ask for a better family.
- My Extended Family – through some recent family reunion’s in Idaho I’ve become reacquainted with my Cousin Merri Ann and her family and we have been able to stay in touch through Facebook, (and Merri Ann reads my blog also, starting to get a connection).
- My Friends – as you get older you realize that Family and Friends are pretty much the important things in life.
- My Blogging Friends – I have come to know many people through this blog. Some I have managed to meet in person. There is a good side to the internet folks and blogging is it.
and now for the other things
- Geocaching – I am crazy about it. Its a wonder my family puts up with me.
- Dallas Cowboys – This year they won a playoff game for the first time since 1996, that was before my son was born. I was so happy.
- Baseball- When I lived in Houston I had mini-season tickets (about one game a week) to the Astros. I would rather go watch a baseball game live than anything else, including geocaching.
- Coffee – Life without coffee would not be a life worth living. It has to be good though.
- Fat Tire Beer – When am I going to be able to get it in Oklahoma?
l know, I know I went over 11, so report me to the blogging police.
So here are the blogs I’m passing this award on to, in no particular order

Jill of all Trades
My Muskoka

Check these blogs out, I do almost every day. In fact I check almost all the blogs on my blog roll every day but I make it a point to never miss the above. There are some others but Dawn listed them on her post.
It’s good to know what makes you happy!
That’s a great list! You’ve got a good life!!
Hope you’re feeling better!!!
I would say you’re a man who cherish’s lifes simple pleasures, which are the best. The Hubster & I look forward to the day we can get together for some geocaching.
Thank you for passing this on, I will do likewise later this week.
@Mountain.mama – It is good to know what makes you happy.
@Alyssa – I do have a good life. I’m not going to lie. I should have added that I love playing words with friends with you and your sister.
@Brit Gal Sarah – I’ll tell you what Sarah. The simple pleasures are the best. I’m also looking forward to visiting and geocaching with you and the Hubster.
Thanks so much, Yogi! I was just on my way to virtually visit you. I’m on coffee #2, fire is going merrily, and all is well!
Glad to see that people ranked above geocaching. I was wondering… haha.
It’s good to know a guy who has his priorities straight. You are right, blogging is on the bright side of the internet. I’m proud to know you.
Congrats on your award.
Good list…life’s good!
Sunny 🙂
@B – You know better than that!
@Tulsa Gentleman – I’m proud to know you also.
@Sunny – Thanks
You’re welcome AND thank you for the sweet words. =)
I hope you are feeling better. Sinus infections are just horrible.
You are a fun blogger who always comments and deserve any/all awards.
Fun to see your list of loves. I, too, am a little surprised that bloggie friends came before geocaching!
Thanks for the award. I’m honored to be on your list.
I’m with you on the Family, Friends, and Coffee, Yogi! Also, Blog Friends are pretty high on my list. By the way, that Blog Award looks pretty yummy – I like cupcakes, too
I’m honored, thank you and it has given me a topic for today when I’ve been at a loss for words lately.
Ok, Y. I’m late. You know I’ve been in a rut. So sue me. 🙂
Thanks fot the shout out and the award. And I think you’ve got the best blog of all the bloggers who are also in the Oil and Gas business in the entire Tulsa Metro Area – quite possibly the entire state. 😉
