Like take, for instance, my Granny Ann, she is very QUIRKY. She is a southern gal who has a wonderful accent, and her style is eclectic to say the least. Bright colors are everywhere in her home, car and clothes. Granny Ann's home is brightly decorated in plastic flowers, baskets, Smiley face magnets and horses of all colors, as well as a frog that croaks when someone comes near her front door. Granny loves to quilt and spend her time with her friends at her local Senior Citizens club. She is very active in her community and enjoys a rousing game of cards or dice, and even pool if she so pleases. I even have a few newspaper articles of her in a pool tournament for her community.
Granny Ann is QUIRKY in every way I can think of. She loves smiley faces, and has made several aprons with Smiley faces all over them. Smiley faces adorn her pictures, quilts, and her refrigerator. If she sends me anything I can be sure there will be a Smiley face packet of stickers to go with it.
She is quick to give a smile and a hug wherever she goes and to whomever will take one. At around 66 she is spryer than I am, and has so much energy, it astounds me. I hope some day to have her QUIRKINESS and her spunk. Now go on over to tossing it out and check out some other QUIRKY blogs ya’ll, and May God bless you on this fine day. My new Motto: Quirky makes the world go around at a more tolerable pace!

Great idea for Q! I hope you don't mind if I steal it :) The only q word I could think of for the life of me was quiet. And there's just nothing quiet about my life :)
Granny Ann sounds delightful! And she's so YOUNG at 66...? What a blessing you have in her. :)
Kelly, you go right ahead, it's a great idea.
Lisa, we can never praise God enough for what He has done for us.
Great Idea for letter Q! I think we all have our little quirks. Your granny sounds awesome! :)
Carol, you are so right, we do have our many quirks don't we!
Very good choice for the letter Q! We all have our own quirks that make us who we are. Sometimes they can be irritating, but that is a gift from God to grow us in love, patience, etc for other people. Thank God for quirks!
Excellent post and enjoyable to read.

Quirky is good! We're all a little bit quirky.
Quirky is good!
There would be no place in this world for me if being quirky was unacceptable.
In faith, hope, love & quirkiness.
I'm only a little older than your Granny Ann -- she sounds like someone I'd love to know.
I like to write about quirky characters in my stories -- I think they're lots more fun than serious folks. I agree that quirky is good.
Quirkiness = personality.
A person who would try to deny they had any quirks would be demonstrating quirkiness in trying to do so.

Awesome job! Your grandmother sounds like an amazing lady, one with a lot of energy as well.
We all have our quirks it's true. My grandmother has a love of turtles I'm not sure I understand.
Great job; odd, I just went to mail a few hours ago and the clerk said,
she had a lot of quirks. She said, she is a nervous person, these things help her cope. I love your
