Taking long walks around Salem and Boston. They are both such beautiful, historic cities and being right on the water makes then even more idyllic. I like the sounds of cheers coming from the ball park a few blocks away from me, and the sounds of the seagulls and the smell of the ocean. I love the fact that after a brutal winter stuck indoors I can actually go for a walk along the harbor at night wearing sandals and without a coat and be comfortable. I enjoy picnics out with friends, and polo matches. I love envenings out in the Boston's North End where all the old Italian restaruants serve you on little outdoor tables.

....chill with some ice cream

.....lay in my pool

.....go camping up north

......visit relatives in Pennsylvania - country fairs, antique shows, overflowing gardens, maybe a trip to the Jersey Shore or the lake, clam bakes, softball, and ooooo - being in a place where you need to wear a sweater in the evening.

......cocoon in the house.  Summer in the Arizona desert is like winter everywhere else.  You have to stay inside because the weather's too brutal outside.

Building a small bon fire out in our backyard, and roasting marshmallows, and hotdogs, enjoy celebrating Father's Day, sure am gonna miss my dad this year, but we'll make it. Might pick at Ron some this year. To make up for my dad not being here. Hope this might be ok, Ron. as this year will be a little odd for us all. Hoping to get to go fishing, Swimming in our small pool, that I plan to buy, shooting fireworks, and I love seeing my kids' faces' light up. Seeing the kids get all excited about church camp, & bible school. I wanted to go visit my almost ex-father-in-law, in Heziphia, (spell.) Georgia. Somewhere close to Atlanta,Georgia. We (his dad and I)(His step-mom passed away last year right after we met her)( her name was Betty) (His dad's name is Billy, nickname Mt. Man)we still talk, even though Charles and I aren't together. His dad was very polite and kind to us when we last visited. I doubt, we will have the money this year to go. I love to sit out on the front porch and listen to the rain, enjoy pickng flowers in my front yard, and putting them on the kitchen table. Mowing the yard, and then sitting back and admirring it, buying fruit and vegetables at the local produce stands, that are on the sides of the road.Oh my gosh and yard sales, ladies we can't forget those. While my son is at his dad's & my daughter is at my mom's visiting for a week. I plan to catch up on sewing, cleaning, and crotching, & reading, As I enjoy doing these. I've talked enough, I enjoy alot of things. The first couple of weeks is my (true) vacation time. (no kids for 'bout 2 weeks) then I miss'em like crazy.

Go to the beach, although I go all year round it’s certainly warmer to paddle in the sea during the summer.
