(that&#8217;s a hint folks).<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I am supposed to list ten things I love and then pass the award on to ten other bloggers.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a list of my loves.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sweetie &#8211; 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.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>SuperPizzaBoy &#8211; I couldn&#8217;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.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>My Family &#8211; My Sister Ellen (another faithful reader), her husband Irv, there three children Dana, Mary, and Jillian and Mary&#8217;s son Shiloh, my Brother Bob, my Father, and my departed Mother. I couldn&#8217;t ask for a &nbsp;better family.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>My Extended Family &#8211; through some recent family reunion&#8217;s in Idaho I&#8217;ve become reacquainted &nbsp;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).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>My Friends &#8211; as you get older you realize that Family and Friends are pretty much the important things in life.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>My Blogging Friends &#8211; 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.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>and now for the other things<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Geocaching &#8211; I am crazy about it. Its a wonder my family puts up with me.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Dallas Cowboys &#8211; This year they won a playoff game for the first time since 1996, that was before my son was born. I was so happy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>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.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Coffee &#8211; Life without coffee would not be a life worth living. It has to be good though.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Fat Tire Beer &#8211; When am I going to be able to get it in Oklahoma?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;l know, I know I went over 11, so report me to the blogging police.<\/p>\n<p>So here are the blogs I&#8217;m passing this award on to, in no particular order<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/uthappytrails.blogspot.com\/\">Janie and Steve&#8217;s Utah Trails<\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/crbh-ruminations.blogspot.com\/\">Jill of all Trades<\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/mymuskoka.blogspot.com\/\">My Muskoka<\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/tulsagentleman.blogspot.com\/\">Tulsa Gentleman<\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/irritatedtulsan.wordpress.com\/\">Irritated Tulsan<\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britgalusa.com\/\">Brit&#8217; Gal in the USA<\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/trailzombie.blogspot.com\/\">&#8230;miles to go before I sleep&#8230;<\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/boundrationality.blogspot.com\/\">Bounded Rationality<\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/sylviafromoverthehill.blogspot.com\/\">Sylvia from over the hill<\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jenx67.com\/\">JenX67<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Check these blogs out, I do almost every day.
