Tuesday started out with the same usual routine, coffee mug in hand, reading my emails and my blogs’ newsletters, but today was a bit different.  I then read a very special email that stated that “there was an award to pick up !!!  And once again, I got that warm and fuzzy feeling, that someone likes my site.  Paula from Community Bookstop said this about my blog: “reviews various books and is always great to read.   Paula I thank you for this award and for giving me a great way to start off  my Tuesday.  You can find Paula here  Now for the award:

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 !!!!!
