Ipsos i-Say

How about all of the rain?

Watching my friend who is 15 on a playground it just rained on, go down steps and when he got to the last step, slip off into the wet mulch. hahaha.

sad and disappointing can't believe or understand why this luck would and can happen to me.

Paying more for gasoline,YUK!

The heat

Golf! Golf! Golf!

I dislike summer so I like nothing about it. I love winter and snow and ice and cold. So to me when it's lower than 25 in the summer with snow, that's great.

It was sad to know that Michael Jackson had passed away my heart goes out to his family

Seeing Jane's Addiction and Nine Inch Nails in concert!

Sleeping

it was fun

I don't know. It's rained almost every day since the summer began.

Staying out of the heat and staying cool.

Grief, sorrow, unhappiness and feeling just plain helpless. My cat had pancreatic cancer and had to be put down on May the 1st. I miss my sweet baby boy.

29 straight days without rain

The Summer Solitice

Summer hasn't had much of a highlight yet. Been too much rain in NJ for the month of June.

I have been collecting all the littlest pet shop items I can find for my granddaughter's 5th birthday July 13th.

Having lower temperatures where I live for longer than is usual for this time of year (until now).

weather has been a bummer..rain rain go away

Summer? What summer?? I have enjoyed spending a little time outside and seeing all the beautiful flowers blooming.

well it has rain just about ever day here so it hasn't been great here but i have planting some roses.

I've seen a {harrond/ is that spelled rite? websters pocket dictionary doesn't have it}flying over where I work every morning. Takes me back. As a kid growin up on the Chesapeak we had a harrond that used to hang out on the end of our pear. Listening to our music, conversations and just kinda wantin' to hang out. My Mom named him HARRY and loved when he was there. I see a harrond now and it makes me smile wide. This harrond that flies over my plant evrey morning at the same time, when I happen to be there, is it Harry? The stirring in me likes to think so. Harry lives in Lincoln NE now. Ain't that nice.

Our AC went out during an unusually hot early summer. For several days the temp topped 100 degrees. The highpoint of the summer was getting the AC fixed!

Watching my kids play ball.

So far everything. Spending time at the Lake with my friends and going swimming with th family.

lying in the sun and getting a tan

Preparing to remodel my 2 bathrooms!

Took my first cruise and didn't even get sea sick. Of course, I wore wrist bands, patches, and took prescription medication. Was VERY mellow and relaxed. Had a great time! If you are waiting to try cruising, just go for it. You may just have the time of your life.

Each day is a gift. I know that sounds corney but its true.Don't wait for tragedy to strike before you learn to CARPAE DIEM or even CARPAE NOCUTM!.

Visiting Nickelodeon Suites in Orlando, FL was a blast for our family - relaxing and fun!!

listening to the Left make fools of themselves.

The first week of summer was hot and humid where I live, which makes today a welcomed relief--lower humidity, a nice northwest breeze, and cooler temps. Perfect golfing weather...and there is one of my highlights of any summer...perfect golfing weather.

Watching my kids play ball. I think I have as much fun as they do!

The warmth of the sun, BBQ's with my 77 year old mom.

Graduation parties,& my son graduating & off to college he goes

Feeling proud to live in the land of the 'free and the brave', (tho, some folks are trying their best to change that)...... God (continue) to Bless America

So far, the highlight of my summer has been enjoying a wonderful trip to Las Vegas with my husband.

BBQ

My husband & I became Great GrandParents In June.

Finding out that our daughter is no longer having seizures and gets to come off the medication.

Getting to spend it with my grandson Logan,i've been able to really get to know him.He's 4 and he's wonderful and I love him.

Watching my baby grow into a toddler and experience the whole world and what it has to offer. She is growing too fast!! Also, watching my husband being happier in his new job.

So far this summer, my highlight has been trip to Myrtle Beach with Children and grand-children. Was wonderful!

My kids accomplished their swim team goals.

My trip to England. It was the trip of a lifetime for me, and I finally got to meet my "computer penpals." I hope I'll get to do it again sometime.

Preparing for the birth of my new grandson and spending time with my family and friends

The 4th of July party at my sons house. His new wife is Spanish,although she was born here in the USA. We grilled out, set off some great fireworks ( legal in S.C. where they live) Then they put on Salsa music and pretty soon everyone was up dancing, including my daughter-in-laws 80 year old grandmother! My new motto is " Party like you're Spanish!" So much fun, and a great chance to get to know my new daughter-in-law and her family.

staying home and doing nothing :-)

There hasn't been a highlight to my summer yet. The weather has been rainy and chilly so far and actually unpredictable. BUT I am very optimistic that the weather is going to change, get sunny and warm, and there will be loads of activities, picnics, parties and fun to be had.

This is the first time we are having actual summer weather so I can't really say what's been the highlight. I can say that the best thing is coming this week...a mini-vacation to visit my good friend and her new baby! Can't wait for that....3 more days!

MY SUMMER IS GOING PRETTY MUCH AS I PREDICTED. IT IS STILL EARLY IN THE SEASON SO THERE IS STILL A LOT OF SUMMER TO GO YET. I HAVE MANY PLANS TO LOOK FORWARD TO SO IT IS GOING WELL AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO. YOU MAKE THE A SEASON GOOD NO MATTER WHAT TIME OF THE YEAR.

I've been enjoying the cooler than normal weather because it means I have actually been able to enjoy the outdoors. Also I went to a Heather Brewer book signing for the release of the third book in the Vladimir Tod series. She is so very nice and the party was a LOT of fun; many activities to do, tasty snacks, and the other minions were great to talk to. Summer also means that Jamie's Dippy Whip (in Bay City) is open for the season which means enjoying MI's best soft serve ice cream. If summer continues to be this great for me I'm actually going to have a good one this year.

SUN!

getting a tan

Have not been able to enjoy this summer so for. Hubby has had an eye infection for the lasat 6 to 8 weeks. His first eye doc did not find it. We were at the kids house the day before he was to leave for his vacation having supper & 1 of the grandkids said Grandpa your eye is bleeding. To the ER we go. Had to have it cartirized to stop the bleeding. Finally after a number of more visits to the new doc she sent him to a retina doc who finally did the surgery yesterday & follow up isit today & he can fly, so got him a ticket on the first plane to Massachusetts on Friday am. Now I can sit back & relax for a little while.

The sun and no rain...even though it's very very hot I'm lovin' it. I'm from Washington state and recently moved to Texas so the change in weather is absolutely wonderful!!

Building an Interstate Mag-Lev Mass Transit System is a new infrastructure technology that would mitigate the majority of the economic, environmental, energy, and employment problems currently confronting this nation!!

Mountain Jam!

It's not cold outside and the short shorts can come out of hybernation again. I really hate to have to wear clothes. To confining.

rode our harlet on blue ridge parkway --flowers in full bloom! great day

my highest time is getting to know my grandaughter better and making a differnts in her life.to do things i could not do with my daughter when she was young.sharing time, questions,and fun time she can rember.

My son and I took a small day trip (for his birthday) to an awesome artistic park. Met the artist who spends his days making sculptures out of old pieces of metal. We had a blast exploring his displays.

NO SNOW

Watching my Grandson play baseball and seeing a great garden season. Sure we've had a lot of rainy days in Ct. but it's better to pick daisys than be pushing them up.

So far things have been OK. This weekend will be the best as my niece is getting married down in NC & we're all going down to see this great event!

We went to Sanibel Island for the weekend. It is a beautiful place. We didn't want to leave.

BBQ's!!!

Going to the beach

Watching my niece give birth and seeing the miracle happen all at once. THAT WAS THE GREATEST MOMENT EVER!

My Son is home from college for the summer and it's nice to have one of the kids around again, at least for a while. It's been pretty wet lately and when it's not raining, it's very hot and humid, but I have fit in using the grill several times, Just love the taste of grilled food. Corn on the Cob is in season, mmmmmmmmm.. I have also been traveling some, mostly business, but the warm weather makes it so much nicer. No vacation plans this summer, but enjoying the longer days and one of these days, I'll actually make it over to the pool to take a ride down the water slide. Yipeeeeeee! Enjoy the season Ya'll! B-)

Putting my home up for sale in Fl. Summer is supposed to be the time buyers are looking. I'm anxious to get back to Tenn.to be closer to my kids and grandkids. I hope with the way things are my home sells this summer. Bad time for sellers but good time for buyers looking for good deals.

We have had a couple of great seafood boils. Shrimp, crayfish, crabs, corn, poyatoes, and saugage. Heaven must be like this!!

Watching politicians squirm trying to justify their jobs when this whole housing debacle which started a tanking economy was their fault in the first place.

Going boating on the river and hanging out on the islands, to relax.

3 DAYS TRAVELING ROUTE 66!!!!!!!!!!!

I am riding a tremendous HIGH. Oldest grandchild (girl) coming home for brief leave from Iraq....July Oldest son dodged a job layoff....June Successful surgery (tumor from carotid artery)...May Birthday July 10th I couldn't be more blessed.

I'm going to the Smokies with my boyfriend and his family in a few days. Fun fun fun!

Positive: lots of visitors from my home countries of England and Ireland. Negative: Mother-In-Law Positive: My four adult step children are coming for their yearly visit. Negative: Their mother won't even allow them (ages 16-23) to fly from Newcastle to USA via London because she is worried about their safety. Result, we have had to spend $2,000 extra on air fairs; plus pick them up from JFK, 8 hours drive away. Positive; who cares. Seeing them is the most important thing, particularly for my 6 year old son who worships them Negative: They have to go home. Positive: The warm weather (hey, I'm a Brit!) Negative: None

Seeing my nine-year old nephew play in the All-Stars little league baseball game. His poor dad, my brother, is going through a divorce and I think it means a lot to him and my nephews to have the family involved as much as possible right now.

We live in Minneapolis and there are beautiful lakes right in the city. One of them has a outdoor bandshell and every Sunday one of the local churches does a non denominational outdoor service at 10:00 AM Last Sunday my husband and I went. It was a gorgeous sunny day, we brought our dog. The service was lovely and after we walked around the lake. Pretty simple stuff, but nice.

Considering that Summer doesn't officially start till June 22, or therebouts, Spring has been gorgeous in the Sonoran desert. I have a small watering hole near the house and over the months I have started to take some really remarkable photos of animals and plants which I have sent along to various friends and family. WOW! they say. Ha ha I respond, you should have seen the ones that gotaway... I am looking forward to a summer of early monsoons, incredible night skies, and cool summer days under the ramada. Now, if the powers that be around the world don't blow it, we all just might have a good summer after all. Peace

Enjoying my grandchildren and communicating with my oldest daughter in California. Also the adoption of another daughter and her son.

Seeing my younger brother and his wife who came from out-of-state.

iT'S the end of June and NO 100 degree weather....YET! =)

we took a vacation to IOWA and saw john waynes home and the bridges of madison county.

Having more time to relax in the sun. Spending more time with friends working on an interesting project, in this case restoring/painting an old vintage truck.

Air Conditioning!

I love cooking and eating outside. That's the best!!!

Getting my pool up and running

learning to use my computer to make money instead of just playig games!

My highlight is just being able to spend time outdoors (weather permitting)

Hasn't happened yet but it will be next month when I go to Seaworld for the first time with my kids.

Each day when you open your eyes, and you go YES! another day I am still here.
