AN I FOR AN I

I am still groggy from this.  The problem with me is even if I had just a couple of hours sleep during the night, my body's alarm clock goes off at 6 a.m, no matter what.  So I'll be up, whether I like it or not.  If I don't have anything important to do I'll probably take a short nap later.

This morning I'll put this waking up time to good use.  There's something I must share with you:  The name Deirdra Eden conjures up a mystical image of a princess in fairyland.  Well, once upon a time this stunningly beautiful princess came over to this blog and penned this:

"Love THIS!!!  I love your site and as I browsed your blog I decided to award you the Inspiring Blog Award.
Go to http://astorybookworld.blogspot.com/p/awards.html and pick up your award.
~Deirdra"


I was of course pleasantly surprised,  another Award coming my way - way to go Grandpa!


The Award is pretty too (designed by Deirdra herself - a pretty girl who can draw pretty pictures, ain't that nice?):








Now doesn't that look like a fairytale pic?  THANK YOU Dierdra for the beautiful Award.

Hi there Grandpa,
I, I ,I, you've have reached the letter 'I' in this thrilling 'Alphabet Challenge' thingy. :)
I know what you mean about the 'body's alarm clock' and mine is starting to 'alarm' me. Not unsual for me to be in every time zone, but my own! :)
Princess in fairyland. Aha, I shall inform 'Fidelina', the beautiful fairy princess, in my ongoing 'wee folks' tales, about you receiving a well deserved award from Deirdra. In fact, after I've finished leaving another one of my award winning comments, I shall head on over and check out what's happening.
Take very good care, my friend.
With respect and magical wishes, your way, Gary :)

(((HUGS))) Thank you so much, Grandpa. You are so sweet and made my day. My dream is to have a farm some day. Right now I have a little garden on the patio of my condo in the city. All the good work you are doing is truly inspiring.

Hi Grandpa. I've seen your name in the comments of some blogs I recently followed and now I've added yours to my Google Reader. The former traveler in me is a sucker for anywhere exotic!

Nice to meet you!

Hey Grandpa! I am a new follower..from the A-Z challenge..I'm doing it too, but I signed up late, so I'm playing catch up! My body clock is the same way...it doesn't seem to matter if I've slept for 9 hours or 2 hours, I'll wake up at the same time every morning, around 7am! I am enjoying your blog,and congratulations on your award! That's awesome! Please visit me sometime!

Congrats on the lovely aware. My internal alarm is still a bit thrown off with the change in time.

Grandpa said...

Deirdra - (((HUGS))) back! You are welcome! I hope your dream will come true one day.

Rach - Thank you! **Hugs** back

Her highness - Thank you!

Brooke Rousseau - Hi Welcome to The Farm! Nice to meet you too!

Grandpa said...

Eve - Hi, Welcome to The Farm, and thanks for following. I will certainly pay you a visit.

Wanda - Thank you! I think what we have to do is listen to our body, if it is sleepy sleep by all means! Thanks for stopping by.

I live in Singapore and can picture your beautiful farm in all its greenery.

I too have become an insomniac and find no matter how little sleep I get I will wake up at 6 am.

Lovely blog!

Grandpa said...

50 foot QE (now I'm curious to find out what this means - I hope the answer is at your blog) - Welcome to The Farm! What I do now is consider the time that I'm awake (any time) time I can put to good use.
Thank you for the compliment.
