I like the number five. Five or Cinco, in Spanish, is probably my favorite number. Cinco de Mayo is a popular day and soon Cinco de Sultnpapper will be popular too, or at least it should be.
The other day a friend of mine on here put a list of his 5 best “noobies” that he follows and interacts with; he was nice enough to include me in on his list. I really have never been a “follow the leader” kind of person; I pretty much clear my own trail. This though, I feel is worth falling in lock step with, so today I will give my five people that I enjoy most on Steemit. The list is appropriately named “Cinco de Sultnpapper” because I made my decision while eating my three tacos at lunch on Monday.
Before I go ahead and list them let me first say I did go and look at the other four folks I share being part of his list with: together we make a much diversified group, at least by interests. One woman on his list happened to have her top 5 list up, and she had drawn pictures, well sketches, of how she depicts her list members. Since I’m not an artist, I decided that I would use another means to help give a visual reference for my list members. 
Bear in mind, these are not their actual photographs, just how I picture them. They are also in no particular order, I was going to do it in chronological order of our meeting, but my memory isn’t that good, and I’m too lazy to go back through 800 posts to figure out who goes where on the list with regard to dates of origin.
This photo above depicts the Cinco de Sultnpapper group as a collective. It is a very diverse group of fruits and one large nut.
Without further ado, here we go…

First up is @simplylizelle , I made a comment to a friend of hers, that she found humorous and elected to follow me, the thing she may or may not know, my comment was genuine “I find that ducks are best when roasted with garlic and butter.” Her friend @scarletstar is having some health issues, so keep her in your prayers if you wouldn’t mind. I would like to see her back here soon.
Lizelle is very talented woman, who refuses to call herself an artist, but she really is. Now, as you may know, I don’t follow people right off the bat, I take my time and just keep checking back on people’s blogs to make sure that if I follow them, I’m not going to have my feed full of stuff that doesn’t interest me. It took some time but Lizelle finally got me to click the follow button, using cup cakes with bows on them. Seriously, cup cakes with bows. Lizelle is a handy woman who would rather build it herself than buy something, and she is very, very good at documenting and explaining the processes in her tutorials. Check her out for some interesting reading and learning opportunities.

Next up is @thekittygirl, this lady is multi-talented but tends to stick with her bread and butter which is photography. When she does write, which is not often enough in my opinion, she is really good. Her photographs are excellent, mostly of flowers that she raises. You will find her work on her blog and numerous contests on here, all those flowers gives her a built in advantage on the “color challenge” photo contest.

@ericvancewalton is not a “noobie”, but my list is people I enjoy here, not all “noobies”. Eric truly is a writer, author, and poet. He is a craftsman extraordinaire in poetry which he frequently publishes to his blog. He is a published author and novelist who recently ditched his corporate nine to five job to pursue his writing career full time. He is a key component of a project that is in development named “Hard Fork – The Series” which promises to be a thrilling series based around crypto-currencies and the fight against centralized government currencies. He hasn’t told me this, but I do know that the decentralized crypto currencies win in the end; why else would we all be here? Go by and check out Eric & the Hard Fork Series folks.

My pear is for a pair that I have the pleasure of calling friends, @abbak7 and @lidac they are immigrants to the US from over in Bulgaria or Romania, not sure exactly, but somewhere over in that neck of the woods. They are very loyal followers of mine who always comment and we have some good back and forth’s. Lidac is a good poet with very deep meanings in her poetry. D.C. (@abbak7) is just a genuine good guy, who I wish would tell some of his stories, he post a lot of humorous meme’s and jokes.

Last, but definitely not least, is @buttcoins , this guy is the real deal when it comes to sarcasm and humor, he doesn’t mind calling a spade a spade. I’m not sure if I found him or he found me, but I am damn sure pleasured to call him a friend. He likes the crypto scene and he’s an exPat living in a little beautiful town in Guatemala. His stories are hilarious and he is a reformed world traveler who found peace and quiet by a lake, married and settled down now to raise children. The hotel he runs accepts Steem so go book a room and tell him I sent you. He is the person who inspired my creating ,”Cinco de Sultnpapper”, thanks partner.
Cinco de Sultnpapper would not be complete without the lemon, that’s me; you don’t just want to take a bite out of a lemon, pretty sour. However lemonade with ice is a welcome refreshment. I hope the flag bots don’t attack me for being over 5 on my count, I’m banking on them not knowing Spanish.
Until next time,
@sultnpapper
