Blek! I've been posting so much sugary, syrupy, sappy stuff lately I need to go on a diet! Enough with the love story already!
Back in January some of us posted a list of our favorite things. While perusing my archives, I came across my list, and I was struck that many of them were winter in nature. Probably because January happens in the wintertime. Then I seemed to remember somewhere, someone mentioned something about that exact thing and suggested that in the summer we do another Favorite Things list. I bet your list looks quite a bit different now that it's 6 months later and 60 degrees warmer.
Let's play with the same guidelines and suggestions. I'm posting my list here. You post yours at your place and then leave a comment here at my place so that I can come read yours. It'll be so much fun!

Definately #2, #4, #5, (#6 hasnt happened for me yet...you mean it's supposed to slow down?), #10 would be nice, #12, and #14.
I'll have to try #18.
I'll get my list up...sometime...it may be after my parents leave, though.
MMMM @ #4...
And I miss the community pool! We had one before we moved...
My favorite things about summer are flowering plants in pots on the front porch, fresh tomato sandwiches on fresh white bread (the kind that sticks to the roof of your mouth), homemade ice cream, and pontooning on the lake.
I definitely think it would be easier to post the things that I don't like about Summer!
I really, really, really love this season!
By the way, I am going to reply to your email tonight...I have just been crazy busy! :)
reading, sweet tea, coffee and green grass, whoo hoo..and tevas, i'm jealous :)
oh and i will do a favourite list too...not sure when though....takes me a couple days to think thru these lists ;)
Hello! I found you on Gayle's blog and thought I'd stop by. A Sonic is being built nearby and I can't wait until it opens. Looks like it will be a while though. Enjoyed reading your list! I'll have to do this too.
better late than never right!
