Once again, the summer season is upon us and, as always, it promises to be a busy one. I have been thinking about some of the things that I'd like to do this summer and some of the things that I hope to accomplish over the course of it. I know that, in reality, I probably won't get to all of them, but having a list will certainly help me to focus on the season and remind me to enjoy it to the fullest!
"...ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand"
(Luke 21:30).

DeleteTerrific list! My energy has gone down as I've neared the end of treatments. I haven't made my list yet. I need to make a short one.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry that your energy levels have dropped, but I have no doubt that they will be right back up and you'll soon be on the move again! Can't wait to read your summer bucket list, my friend! Thanks for dropping in. Love you! <3
DeleteWhat a great list! I was just thinking about working on my summer bucket list today, might borrow a few of your items :) And Grand Gulf State park has been on my list of parks I'd like to visit forever, I hope you'll share pictures when you go to that one!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jean! Borrow away! :) As for Grand Gulf State Park, I have a friend through work that is an interpreter there and I've been promising him for two years now that we'd come visit there. I truly hope that this is the year that we make it. And, yes, if I do, you better believe that I'll be sharing pictures! LOL! :)
