By now I am guessing that everyone knows my morning routine…coffee, reading emails, newsletters and blog comments…and once again today started off with a warm and fuzzy feeling….Yup…..it happened again….someone likes my blog and has presented me with an award.  Naomi from Naomi’s Book Reviews (http://naomisbookreviews.blogspot.com/) has passed on this award to me:

The criteria in accepting this award is:
  ” A prolific blogger is one who is intellectually productive, keeping up an active blog with enjoyable content”
  After accepting this award, thank and link back to the person passing it on and recipients are asked to pass it forward to seven other deserving blogs and also let them know they are awarded.


In the past few weeks I have passed on awards to many deserving people.  So what I plan to do is wait until the Book Blog Hop tomorrow in hopes of finding 7 new blogs to pass this award to.  Naomi, thank you so much for this honor.  And people…stop by Naomi’s place, say hi and tell her CMash sent you.

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 !!!!!
