Michael says I am a planner. I say if you don't set some goals and make a plan life will pass you by. This is a list of 20 things I would like to do this summer.
Take a hike
preferably where I can bird watch.
Read a good book
I just finished Angels and Demons a great suspenseful mystery. I would love to find a good biography or a realistic fiction.
Make Real Lemonade
Summer just doesn't seem like summer until you've had a nice cool glass of real lemonade. Try this recipe:
Peel three fat lemons. Cut them into smaller pieces. Drop the pieces into a blender with 1-1/2 cups of sugar and 1-1/2 cups of water. Use the blender to chop until coarse, then strain into a pitcher. Add ice cubes. Adjust as needed.
Host a wedding.
I know a given, but if I put it on my list. then it is one thing I will check off for sure.
6/29 Wedding is coming along well. I have had a couple tramatic times but SO far so good.
Go on a Field Trip
Remember the time you were reading about the art museum that wasn't far from your home? Summer is the perfect time to explore all that your community has to offer. How about visiting an aquarium, aviary, or zoo? Or try your state capitol building.
Visit Yellowstone or another national park.
One of my second graders went there over Memorial Day and with the help of his dad created this awesome video he shared with the class.
Go to a "Drive-in" Movie
Tucker wanted me to add this one to my list. Unfortunatly I will probably fall asleep during the movie.
Ride my bike daily.
Hopefully this one will help me loss some weight before the wedding.
6/29 We bought a recombent exercize bike and Michael and I are both riding it. I also walked everyday this week with Melodie.
Have a Yard Sale
Or a least make a run to Goodwill and the dump. I have got to clean up this junk.
6/29 I have been to the dump so many times since school was out. I think they are considering reserving a stall for me. The back yard is really starting to look good. I even promised the boys that as long as I live I will never ask them to put in another pond.
Eat Homemade Ice Cream at Sunset
Attend a Concert in the Park
Learn Something new.
I signed up to take 9 tech classes maybe I will become tech savvy after all.
6/29 Well, I didn't make it to the tech classes but I have been working on a new curriculum for our green team and garden class next year.
Visit an Amusement Park
This one I might have to put off until November when we go to get Dallas.
Attend a Festival
I hope I don't have to count Maple Valley Days or I hope Maple Valley Days is much better then years before.
Shop at a Farmers' Market
I love the one in Kent or Renton.
6/29 Maple Valley started a farmers market this year and I went on Saturday. It was Awesome! I got some plants, some huge onions, pickles garlic, and beautiful flowers.
Pick Fresh Fruit and vegetable
You should see my garden!
6/29 Last night we have peas, lettuce, radishes, zuccini from the garden in our salad. I am going to post a picture because I really can't believe how good it looks.
Clean the garage!
My goal: To be able to once again park cars in the garage.
7/11 Well I started today and I am making at least two dump runs tomorrow. It is amazing what you find when you clean the garage. We found two MAdame ALexander Dolls, an electric typerwriter, 6 camping chairs, a garbage disposal, two childens car seats, and huge bag of stuffed animals.
Reorganize maybe a better word would be organize my school files.
There is no organization now.
Make quilt
6/29 THe top is done now I need to put it on the quilting frame. For Rachel's shower we all wrote our names and a message, then I sewed it into a quilt.
