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:

Are you planning on getting a flu shot?

My Answer:

Yes..I get it every year

Are you a blogger over 40? Yeah, welcome to the club!
Please join in the fun and get to know your fellow bloggers!!

From Jennifer’s site:
  In the spirit of the Twitter Friday Follow, the Book Blogger Hop is a place just for book bloggers and readers to connect and find new book-related blogs that we may be missing out on! This weekly BOOK PARTY is an awesome opportunity for book bloggers to connect with other book lovers, make new friends, support each other, and generally just share our love of books! It will also give blog readers a chance to find other book blogs that they may not know existed! So, grab the logo, post about the Hop on your blog, and start HOPPING through the list of blogs that are posted in the Linky list below!!
  The Hop lasts Friday-Monday every week, so if you don’t have time to Hop today, come back later and join the fun! This is a weekly event! And stop back throughout the weekend to see all the new blogs that are added! We get over 200 links every week!!
  Your blog should have content related to books, including, but not limited to book reviews.
  If you start following someone through the Hop, leave a comment on their blog to let them know! Stop back during the week to see other blogs that are added! And, most importantly, the idea is to HAVE FUN!!
This week’s twist:
In honor of Book Blogger Appreciation Week, let’s take time this week to honor our favorite book bloggers and why we love them!
My Answer:
Every single site that I have on my blog list.  Like our children, where you love them equally and never have a favorite, that’s how I feel about the blogs I visit. 

You don’t have to read this post but I needed to write it to help me cope.
  I sit here numb and disbelieving of news from yesterday.  Thoughts are flooding my mind of 30+ years of events and fun times of a friendship that ended unexpectedly Wednesday morning.  The shock of the news is leaving me unfocused and I find myself remembering yet another memory but can’t grasp the idea that he is gone. I am having a hard time functioning.  This can’t be happening. 
  First, to understand a little bit of Italian traditions.  Long time good friends are more like family.  When the kids come along, these friends, out of respect, are called Auntie and Uncle even though it isn’t by blood.  They consider the friends’ kids, cousins and refer and introduce them as that.
  Yesterday my boys lost their Uncle, who they were very close to and we lost a life long friend.  A friend who was in our wedding party and my hubby was his best man at his wedding.  A friend who has been through our good and bad times as we were there through his.  A friend who I have so many memories that my thoughts these past 24 hours are of all of him, of the fun times.  I was in the same Kindergarten class with him.  While in high school, I introduced my then boyfriend, who became my hubby, to this friend and they became bffs.
  How can this be?  He was only 54 years old.  Just a few years ago he was so sick, in need of a liver transplant that we thought he would not make it.  But God came through, finding a match for him.  I remember that phone call..it was Thanksgiving and he called to tell us he got “the call” and was being prepped to go into surgery.  He fought because he had to walk his daughters down the aisle when they married.  The surgery was a success.  We all thought that day would come.  But now it won’t.  He kissed his daughter before she left for school, went back to lay down and died. 
  Live each second to it’s fullest because it can end in the next second.

It was delivered in just a few days.  Double boxed for a safe delivery.  I have to tell you when I opened the box, I was surprised!!!  It was much heavier, sturdier and made with quality wood, than I thought it would be.  The picture above does not do the product justice.  This desk organizer is definitely an executive gift at an affordable price.  As are a lot of their gifts to choose from.  I am very happy with the choice I made and now you can also make a choice.  

Pete from Executive Gift Shop has generously offered to have one of my followers the chance to choose any item up to $50.00.  All items can be personalized.  International giveaway!!!   Visit their site, then follow the directions on the entry giveaway page.  Good Luck!!!
