summer time

[specialmom]

I'm a lady that loves the seasons.  Each one has something special about it that I love.  Summer time is that season in which I feel a bit carefree.  Even when I lived in the South and every day was on the warm side and you didn't have the climatic changes I now have living in the Mid West, Summer still represented something to me.  

What are your favorite summer past times and activities??  What are you looking forward to this summer?

We will have to go to Italy to see the leaning tower of Pisa.  :<))

If we visit Londres in Paris . . .  we don't need to eat in a cafe.  Her culinary skills would be worth traveling for alone from what I've been told!!  Anyway, I booked my flight an hour ago.  Hope that is okay . . .

Or San Fran.  I've spent some time there but it is a favorite.  The Caribean would be just fine too.  I'm in and in.

Sadly . . .  I do not have a wonderful destination to offer you ladies.  Just little old me, my house in suburbia Mid West and some kids to entertain you in the backyard.  You are welcome to come though and we'll MAKE it exciting!

Things I love about summer . . .  oh, my garden.  It is going really well this year.  I've had not so good years, so I am having high hopes for this year.  I've got things setting on the vegi plants and have already filled vases with cut flowers.  This makes me smile just thinking about it.

We get passes to this amusement park that is about 10 minutes from my house.  so fun and my kids LOVE it.  They have a big pool and hanging out at a pool is right up my alley.

And we will go to the Lake.  Fond memories of Lake Erie every single summer of my life.

Some days we get to sleep late and we have an occasional "home" day.  We do nothing but hang out at home without a care in the world.  Stress free and all about just being together and relaxing.  

Those are some of my special summer things.  

Thanks everyone for posting!!

Whoaaa!!!! Dude, Paris. Now there's something I can get used to. Well, I can imagine people talking to me and I just look blank and dumb cause I wouldn't understand a word

1000 thanx, SpecialMom - This has been Great Fun!!

Can We eat at one of those outdoor cafe's that Paris is so famous for?  And can We see the Leaning Tower of Pisa?  

If You All come here I will take You to Sausalito - You won't BELIEVE the Beauty and the Quaintness of Sausalito!!   We will go to San Francisco too - Fisherman's Wharf is still there, of course - and I'm sure You were Enthralled as a 10 year old, but You NEED to Experience it today as an kAdult.  And We will take a tour of Alcatraz and We will ride the Cable Cars and We will see and cross the Golden Gate Bridge and We will go to Pier 39 and the Wax Museum, and the list goes on and on.....it's never ending - so plan on staying for a LONG visit.  I await the arrival of You, SpecialMom, and Kayannaboo with bated breath!!

Come anytime ladies (Tink, Anna and Specialmom).  We can walk down the Avenue des Champs-Élysées, shop and then grab something to eat.  

Yes, I have been to San Francisco......that was long ago.  I was about 10 then.  I loved that Fisherman's Wharf.  The food there was delicious too.
