2. Grilling hamburgers and corn on the cob - The consummate summertime food
3. Sprinklers - Taking our walk today, I just let myself get wet in a couple of sprinklers and I can clearly remember the pure joy of running through them on a hot summer day.
4. The Great Lakes - Go ahead and pick your favorite. Doesn't matter...cause they are all great. Summer in Michigan always includes a visit to one of these beauties.
5. Sitting on the deck or porch with a glass of lemonade - Wonderful.
6. Flip flops - I just love the sound of them. Can't you just hear them?7. Golf - I've only been golfing for about 5 years, but it has quickly joined my list of favorite summertime activities.
8. Garden Fresh Tomatoes - Seriously!
9. A good summertime read - Maybe it's a thriller or something uber romantic. Just spending time, sitting on a beach reading a good book is so amazing.
10. Family - Doing all of the above with my family around...Priceless.
What's some things on your summertime list? I'd love to collect all the best and come up with a list from all of us. Please share.

fresh strawberry lemonade from the amish vendor at the farmer's market.
white peaches.

Great lists all of you.
ReplyDeleteWendy...I want my summer's off so I can stay up late and go to lunch during the week with my mom.
