Spring has sprung and it seems like everyone's mood is picking up after which has been a long hard winter for some areas in the Northern Hemisphere. Other areas in Southern Hemisphere are, I am hoping, heading into a mild winter.

One of the things about Spring is that they always seem to bring the dreaded Spring Cold. Renee is sidelined with one right now so I have stepped in to ensure she is taking her meds, hot baths, and getting as much rest as possible. Join me in wishing Renee a speedy recovery

Reminder to stop into the Blog tomorrow and check out this months story that will be the focus of the CSR!

Monday was the CSR Discussion Day for Roommates by Krista for the month of March. Cia started off asking some pointed questions we all needed to know, like do you make you bed in the morning. One question had Krista saying I may be her current mentor. I think she needs to look up the word mentor Then the best thing about CSR Discussion Day, Krista made herself available to answer the questions that you the Members had for her.

Tuesday had us all learning our Month of April's Signature Author as well as getting the Signature Background to download! This month we are focusing in on Andy78's Magic in the Air . Knowing some of Andy's writing I am definitely going to check this one out, one sadly I haven't read yet.

April Fool's day had us tuning in for a feature that we all look for, and definitely not for anyone who could be mistaken for a fool. Dark took over the blog and graced us with this month's installment of Ask an Author. The 26th installment had questions for Carringtonrj, Joann414 and Mark Arbour.

Friday rolled in to end the work week for some and hopefully some of you have a long weekend depending on where you are in the world for the Easter Long Weekend. Prompt Me guru ComicFan provided us with two new prompts for the weekend. First was using the following words in a story; rain coat, patch of ice, steak, blue fuzzy slippers and a Greek Statue.

Waking up on Saturday morning I shuffled into the kitchen in my usual morning wardrobe of boxers and blue fluffy slippers, matching of course. Pulling out some steaks for dinner tonight I looked outside to the light drizzle coming down. I threw on a rain coat to go retrieve the morning paper from the mailbox. Halfway down the walk I slipped on a patch of ice and ended up sliding on my butt down the walk until I hit the Greek statue in the middle of the split walk near the street. Thank gosh for Discovolus of Myron or I might have ended up in the street.

The second prompt was creative one of The Clown. This one looks like it could be fun and I won't subject you all to my idea for that one

Finally Delores Esteban's prompt from the previous week was featured in the blog.
