Honest Scrap Award

I learned a couple of days ago that Malcolm Campbell has honored me with The Honest Scrap Award.

First, I'm sure the word is supposed to be "Crap" and not "Scrap." Second, the honor is dubious in that it invites people to confess stuff so that, if it hasn't been noted in their permanent records before, it will be now.

Anyhow, this confession must include ten honest (fooey) secrets that most people don't know about me along with seven victims whom I want to honor (hahaha). First, the secrets:




1. The first movie that made me cry was Old Yeller.

2. I do not like any peanut butter but Peter Pan.

3. My shoe size is 8 ½ EEE.

4. I have read at least the equivalent of a book a week every year since 1983, and I have a list of all the titles.

5. My middle name is Gabel, my mother’s maiden name.

6. My wife retired on the 19th.

7. I have never used an ATM machine.

8. In my early teen years I stayed summers with my Dad’s people in Arkansas, where I did things like chopping cotton and snapping beans.

9. Two foods that look like they should taste good but don’t are tomatoes and cantaloupes.

10. I am not sure I have seven blogging friends that are not on Malcolm’s list!
Now for the “friends” that I want to tag”

Six Word Memoir Meme--Or A Short Sermon?

While I was sunning on the Lido deck of the Carnival VIctory, I was tagged by Pinhole to play along, so I left the cruise ship and flew straight home to work on this post!

Here are the meme rules:

1. Write your own six word memoir.

2. Post it on your blog and include a visual illustration if you’d like.

3. Link to the person who tagged you in your post and to this original post, if possible, so we can track it as it travels across the blogosphere.

4. Tag five more blogs with links.

5. And don’t forget to leave a comment on the tagged blogs with an invitation to play!


I have been using the tag "Live well, learn much, laugh often" on one of my blogs and on my weekly bulletin article for quite a while, but I thought for the game I should do something else. In next thought of "Take Me Out To The Ballgame", but it has all those copyright things to consider. I decided a better one for me is, (and I would recommend it for everyone):

Standing at the Cross, looking up!


I will check around to see if the meme has played itself out, or if I know five more who have not yet been taggged.
