As of 5:00 Friday, I’m on vacation for two weeks; no alarm clock, no commute, just going where the wind blows us. Woo hoo!
Proudly watching my kids play soccer, enjoying the cool evening breeze on the sidelines after a day in the office.

Shark Week, ending with watching Jaws with The Boy and my favourite SIL.
My air conditioner, without which I would be one sleepless, cranky bitch. Enough said.
My friend/coworker’s sixtieth birthday celebration where I got to see friends I hadn’t seen in a while, have several drinks (mmmmmm, vodka….) and eat some good food.

Speaking of coworkers – my coworkers who make the long days better with their warmth and goofiness.
I got the coolest gadget this month that cores a pineapple right in its skin while cutting it into rings, not letting the juice escape all over a cutting board. I love a new gadget!

My little cherry tomato plant, chives and pepper plant on my balcony that I have somehow managed to not kill. My black thumb is not up to par this summer……

Saturday morning with my paper and my tea. Yeah, I know, not strictly a summer thing but it makes me smile anyway.
Did I mention that I’m on vacation a day from now? Oh yeah, I did…… well it deserves a second spot on my list because it gives me the biggest smile of all! Besides, it’s my list so I can do what I want with it, lol!
What has made you smile this summer?

Ahhh, vacation....
ReplyDeleteOne more workday and I'm FREE, woo hoo!!
DeleteEnjoy your vacation!!! They are the best! I love our pineapple core thing (I have no idea what it's really called!). They are great! Visiting from Writer's workshop.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't really matter what it's called; it's just a cool toy! LOL
DeleteThanks for visiting :)
Vacation always deserves a second mention -- hope it turns out great!
ReplyDeleteI am very much looking forward to NOT having the alarm go off at an awful hour tomorrow morning!
DeleteOur whole family went surfing a lot this summer. It. Was. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteI bet it was! It sounds like you had a great summer :)
DeleteVacation, I'd like to enjoy one of those again one day.
ReplyDeleteYou definitely should Jack. We all need to recharge our batteries once in a while. In my case, it makes me a better mother, worker and a calmer person
