I hung my head under the tap, washed the stickiness I assumed was blood off my face, and drank my fill.

 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!
I apologize that this might be a lengthy response but with Father’s Day this weekend, I remember fond memories of my Dad.
  My question is:
     Share a memory of you and your dad?
  My answer:
     Even for me this is a hard question.  I have so many good memories even though my dad passed away when I was 16 years old.
     I’ll share one that was near the end.  It was right before he had gone into the hospital for the last time.  He wanted to get out of the house, so I took him with me on some errands.  I drove, and after a while, he said to me, “Who do you think you are, Mario Andretti”? You have an awful heavy foot”. (for those who don’t remember he was a race car driver in the Indy 500)  And I looked at him and answered “No, I take after you”.  He gave me a smile/smirk and never said another word about my driving.  You see, when he was younger he was also a race car driver.

  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!
  Pretty please – Your blog should have content related to books, including, but not limited to book reviews.

      Lenny wasn’t gone.  He couldn’t be gone.  Until she saw his dead body with her own eyes, she could not give up hope.

1. I usually am up for 2 hours before the clock reads 6:58.
2. It was the reason, of course, that I chose to read this particular book.
3. Worrying about things that I have no control of is something I no longer feel the need to do.
4. I have another errand to run, then I am going to sit and read.
5. PLEASE!!…just go find it
6. What were once vices are no longer.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to spending time with hubby, tomorrow my plans include computer to-do list and read for challenge and Sunday, I want to sit by the pool and read, depending on the weather and have random.org pick the 2 winners of the giveaway!
