I’m going to try this as a semi-regular feature of this blog… Top Ten Fridays. Thanks to those of you that made suggestions… I have at least a couple weeks worth. If you have ideas, though, please let me know. For today, Top Ten Summer Activities:
- Sitting outside with friends, drinking great summer beverages, enjoying the outdoors and each other.
- Kids baseball (especially when we’re winning, and the temperature is around 75!)
- Cubs games.
- Summer Concerts (this year Jack Johnson, and maybe DMB)
- getting fresh produce out of the garden
- playing pool volleyball in my parents’ pool
- family vacation (this year, Florida)
- grill pizza
- outdoor projects (building stuff, especially)
- summer movies edit: i thought about this one, and decided to replace it w/ summer books – i usually shift to reading a lot more novels in the summer…which is just fun… plus with hardly anything worth watching on TV, I just have more time to read.
