It came in on the day my husband died, so naturally it was buried under so many other issues. I think it's fun that you received the award, and you're here in Arizona. I don't know if you're a mystery reader, but perhaps we'll run into each other at the Poisoned Pen sometime. <br /><br />Thanks for saying the award was fun!Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12946133849271512083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-44029988692323919932010-02-15T18:33:05.652-06:002010-02-15T18:33:05.652-06:00Hi Lesa, I'm a (possible) neighbor of yours an...Hi Lesa, I'm a (possible) neighbor of yours and also a fellow blogger. I was just awarded your Bald Faced Liar/Creative Blogger award. I googled the award to find out the genesis of it and was pleasantly surprised to see that it originated right here in Arizona, and just one town over from where I live! I'm just popping in to say hello and thanks for creating the award. It took some work to fulfill the duties, but it was a lot of fun!<br /><br />I'm enjoying your site and hope our paths cross some time soon. <br />~ OliviaOlivia Tejedahttp://oliviatejeda.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-72349464737843034972010-02-03T06:28:49.552-06:002010-02-03T06:28:49.552-06:00Thanks for playing, Kathy.

It was played during dinner where the food was served family style at long tables. People could ask you questions before voting on your lie.

You know, I actually guessed right on two of these before I read your reveal. <br /><br />I (heart) Willard Scott, and I thought: This is just off the wall enough to be true. The Jim Leyland connection felt true, too; but I would have bet money against the purchase of the "Lesa loves Piazza" billboard being a true tale, which is (of course) an awesome thing for Jim to have done. If my husband were going to impress me, he'd have to get the Mets board to flash: "Cleo loves Pizza" - lol :)<br /><br />Thank you for the award, Lesa!

Jim Leyland is my mother's second cousin. And, Jim did buy that billboard for me. (Wasn't that great?)<br /><br />And, the quilt?
