Wednesday's Almost Summer Hodgepodge

Visit Joyce and join the fun!

1. Saturday marks the first official day of summer! Whoohoo! Your favorite thing about the season?

My favorite thing about the summer is being near or in the water.  Whether it is swimming in the ocean, floating in a pool or sitting with my toes in the sand I'll take it! 

2. Love it!, labor of love, not for love or money, no love lost, love handles, love does, love-hate relationship, misery loves company, tough love, love will find a way...pick one and tell us how it applies to your life right now.

Labor of love!  My laptop crashed two days ago.  I tried and tried but couldn't even get to my start menu.  I finally gave in an called HP.  I paid for a subscription to their technical help services and it was worth it.  I spent probably about 10 hours on the phone at different times.  Between those calls I was waiting for various updates, etc.  I backed up all my files before resetting my computer and thankfully my photos and documents were there but I can't seem to get my saved emails and contacts.  I think I may have some of them on my older computer so I will look there next.  

3. What's one thing currently causing you to seethe? One thing currently making you smile?

Well I am trying not to, and wouldn't exactly say I am seething but I find it ridiculous that many products are having to remove their labels because they are suddenly offensive.  I think we ought to focus on what makes us all alike (that we are all human made in the image of God) and stop pointing out physical differences trying to divide us.  

I am smiling because our church is opening for Sunday Worship Service.  We have to be at reduced capacity and there are many social distancing rules in place but we can meet!  

4. Of the following to-dos found on a summer checklist (here) which three would definitely make your personal list of summer want-to-dos?

roast marshmallows over a fire, go berry or peach picking, dangle your feet off the end of a dock, sit on a porch swing, watch the sunset from a beach, nap in a hammock, go barefoot in the grass, collect seashells, play tennis, go fishing, build a sandcastle, catch fireflies, eat a soft serve ice cream cone, make a pitcher of Sangria, swim in a lake, stargaze, ride a bike, paddle a canoe or kayak, make a summer road trip, throw a frisbee

1- roast marshmallows over a fire

2- watch the sunset from the beach

3- eat a soft serve ice cream cone

Do you make an actual list?

No, I don't actually make a list.  

5. Thursday is National Splurge Day. What might you splurge on in order to celebrate?

Chocolate?  We bought a Pound Plus bar of Belgian Milk Chocolate from Trader Joes yesterday.  We usually get the extra dark one which is really good but milk chocolate is a rare treat.  

6. Insert your own random thought here.

Too much random in my head right now to pick a thought that can be easily expressed ;)

Have a great week :)
