I woke up to a cloudy, drizzly day here in New England.  I grabbed my mug of coffee, booted up Lily Laptop and then came the sun.  No…not outside but right here in my family room.  There was an email from Jules at One Book Shy that she was presenting me with this award:

Thank you very much Jules, you are too kind!!  If you haven’t visited her, you are missing out on a delightful blog, so take a walk over to her place and say hi!!  I don’t want to bore you, so am changing the rules.

Recently it has been hot and humid in my neck of the woods….but….NO….that’s not the reason.  I could even say it is a hot flash…but….NO…not that either.  Its that special feeling you get…warm all over….when someone gives you a great big hug!!!  Well….Vicki from Reading At The Beach just gave me a huge hug in the form of an award.  If you follow this blog, you know what I think about Vicki.  She was one of the first bloggers I reached out to for help when I found this wonderful world of book blogging.  I had never seen the word meme, didn’t even know what it was, but Vicki was always there to answer all my questions, even to this day.  I am honored that I can call her “Friend”.  If you haven’t visited, you don’t know what you are missing.  Her reviews are professional,  her postings interesting and her pictures absolutely beautiful.  Take a walk over to her place and say hi!!  This is the award she kindly passed to me:

Pass this on to five great blog neighbors
I define a great blog neighbor as someone that consistently comments on your posts and responds to questions or comments that you have.
This is the hardest part for me, since there are soooo many people that are deserving of this award.  I have been lucky to have received this award in the past and have passed it on so am going to pass it on to 5 more of my neighbors (in no particular order):
