A couple of days ago, Just Martha over at Jelly Shane awarded me the A Blog with Substance Award. Thank you so much Just Martha - I really do appreciate that you thought of me like that.
Please pop over to see Jelly Shane, and I know that you won't be disappointed. I always look forward to reading her Blog posts. She lives in Australia and her husband (Silver Fox) went down to Brisbane to help a relative that was affected by the terrible flooding that occurred there.
Actually, I've just read a quote on her Blog, which says "Correction does much, but encouragement does more." That is so true and I am sure that this adage would work well with a lot of people, especially young offenders.
As is usually the case, this Award does come with rules, and I have to - GUESS WHAT?! - tell you seven things about myself.
1. I once swam across the River Mississipi.
2. I have seen The Sistine Chapel with its magnificent ceiling in the Vatican City in Rome.
3. A couple of years ago, I did some whitewater rafting in Colorado.
4. I did do a bungee jump, but I would never do it again. It was far too scary!
5. I have visited St Tropez in the South of France.
6. I have been on a gondola ride in Venice.
7. I have bathed in the Dead Sea in Israel.
Now comes the time when I have to pass this Award on - oh my goodness, this really does get more and more difficult, especially as a lot of the Blogs that I enjoy are 'Award Free' zones. Anyway, here goes :

6. I have been on a gondola ride in Venice.

| The minerals in the salt in the Dead Sea bring therapeutic healing to the mind, body and spirit. |
Okay, I suppose I had better admit that a couple of the above facts about me are not quite true (!) . I just wanted to make myself sound a bit more exciting for you! Shady gave me the idea when he commented on the facts about me in Thursday's post, and he mentioned that I hadn't told you about the time I climbed Mount Everest (blindfolded). So I'm afraid he's the one to blame!!
Four of the facts are correct. I will leave you to decide which ones!
Oh, I am enjoying this blogging journey!
