Hope everyone has some fun plans for this long weekend, Memorial Day. The unofficial start of summer. But lets not forget what Memorial Day is about. Stop and take a minute to remember those that gave their lives for our freedom.
Any special plans this weekend?
No memes today !!! I am still on the lookout for another one for Saturdays . I love participating in daily memes and meeting new blogging buddies BUT yesterday I went overboard. I had 6 memes going and all that hopping was too much. A bloggy friend, Julie, who I value her opinion, made me see the error of my ways lol. So today I will just be doing my computer to-do list, draft some postings and writing a review. And then I will relax and read. Happy Memorial Day and Happy Reading !!!!!

It never ceases to surprise and amaze me when presented with an award. Today I was honored to have Darlyn from darlyn & books http://darlynandbooks.blogspot.com/ bestow on me this new award.
We live near and far but as book bloggers, we live in a very kind and friendly neighborhood of the blogosphere. We have the same thing in common, the love of books. I have said it before, sorry to keep repeating myself, but the nicest people are book bloggers. I can not express how much it means to me to be part of this community. So thank you Darlyn for this award !!!! Now the criteria:
The award requires me to list 10 honest things about myself before pass it to 10 other bloggers. Hope I don’t bore you lol.
1. I wish I could go back in time when my boys were toddlers
2. I miss my old job and not being able to work
3. I believe one good trait I have is being a good listener
4. Another good trait is that I keep secrets. When asked not to tell, I don’t
5. I can’t bake, it becomes a disaster
6. I despise lying
7. I despise clutter
8. I love to read while sitting on a float in our pool
9. I love to read during thunderstorms
10. In winter, I love to read during snow storms with an afghan around me.
Now I will be passing this award to both old and new friends and in no particular order:

This morning I woke up to some great news!!! I started with my usual routine, coffee mug in hand readng my newsletters, emails and checking comments on my blog. And there it was…a comment to pick up awards…..not 1 award BUT 2 !!!!!! I feel that I keep repeating myself, but it is true, it truly makes me feel so good and so part of the “book blogging world”. It reinforces that I must be doing something right to be presented with all these awards. Maybe its because my blog only went public in November/December and that I still consider myself a semi newbie, but it is such an honor for me to be presented with these awards. Julie from http://readingwithoutrestraint.blogspot.com/ presented me with the following awards:
I recently received these same awards and passed them on. So at this time, I am going to wait and see if I find some new blogs in the Book Blog Hop tomorrow, that I feel I want to pass these great awards on. And if you haven’t visited Reading Without Restraint, you should. Julie has a fantastic blog with really good posts. Julie, thank you soooo much for these awards!!!
