  From An Island Life: In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.

  If you’d like to participate, visit An Island Life answer the question and then post your own question on your blog and leave your link below. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!
My question is:

  With summer right around the corner, what are your favorite things about this season?
My favorite things are not having to wear heavy clothing, having the windows open and hearing the birds chirping early in the morning, the mini vacations we take to Cape Cod, but most of all, relaxing by or sitting in our pool with a book.

  Every day I seem to find another book blog that I start following. In the spirit of the Friday Follow, I thought it would be cool to do a Book Blog Hop to give us all bookies a chance to connect and find new blogs that we may be missing out on! It will also give blog readers a chance to find other book blogs that they may not know existed!
  So, if you’d like to participate, just repost this on your blog, sign MckLinky on her site, and check out other blogs in MckLinky! Let’s connect and make new book bloggy friends!! So, if you consider yourself a book blogger, come join the fun!

And…here we go!
1. I was missing my laptop and blogging while in hospital.
2. I ran some errands and I left my book on the table, which I never do, can’t leave home without a book!
3. Why does it seem that morals and courtesy have disappeared?.
4. Hubby was in my thoughts today.
5. One of my father’s favorite sayings was “diamonds are an investment”.
6. Feeling naked without a book–I know that feeling!
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to resting, tomorrow my plans include reading and resting and Sunday, I want to do something but will have to rest and read, can’t do much else while recuperating!

Another month has passed.  To me it feels that I lost this whole month due to being in the hospital twice and being so sick.  But now that I am on the right road to recovery, I am looking forward to May where I hope to do a lot of catch up reading while I recuperate. April wrap up is looking quite sad but here goes:
