June 23rd: “I Once….” (kissed a dolphin in Bermuda and I liked it!)

Today’s topic screamed “archives” cause it wouldn’t have the same impact to say “I Once…” did something that I did today! LOL AND….it obviously wasn’t taken by me (cause I’m in it)! It was taken by one of the workers in the lagoon where I swam with dolphins in Bermuda in October 2018!

June 22nd: “On Saturdays I…”

It is an honor to continue to put out and maintain flowers at the graves of family who went before me! I only hope someone takes over the task from me like I did from my Grandparents and Mom when they no longer could.

June 21st: “I Went To….” (The Alamo)

Well….not today, but when I was there last year, I bought this t-shirt that I wore today!!! 😉

I loved the time I spent at the Alamo — it was interesting, relaxing, and a lovely way to spend a hot morning in Southern Texas!!!

June 20th: “I Don’t Like To…..” (…wait!)

Had to take my car in to the dealership for a programming update due to a recall…..they were fairly quick, but still had to wait a bit in the waiting room….at least it’s a nice waiting room….and I had my Kindle with me! Hehehehe

June 18th – “I Love This Time of Day….”

The actual “time” depends on the day…..pretty much whatever time I can just put my feet up and read without interruption or struggling to focus on the words!!! 🙂

We’re in the midst of a heat wave!!! So, sitting outside to read was a bit uncomfortable….so much nicer inside where it is cooler was heavenly!!!

The book I’m reading is for our church’s Summer Book Club. It is book # 2 in the “Sensible Shoes” series by Sharon Garlough Brown. Book # 1 was “Sensible Shoes” and this one is “Two Steps Forward”. There are four books in the series. The series is about a group of four women from different walks of life who meet at a spiritual retreat and become friends. The stories chronical their spiritual journeys…..very good!!!

Here are the four books in the series – in order – I recommend them:

June 15th: “On Weekends I…..”

There’s always work to be done…..but, I get especially sad when it’s time to deadhead my peonies!!! They are so gorgeous – my favorites – but they only last a week or so! Once the first heavy rain hits and weighs down the branches loaded with huge blossoms, it is only a matter of time before they turn into an eye sore!!! I have garden tape that keeps them up off the ground, but they still don’t survive after they get drenched and weighed down! So sad!!!

June 14th: “I Love This View…”

I had decided it was a lovely day to have lunch at the lake….so, I went to Boone & Crockett’s at Point Breeze and planned to sit out on their deck overlooking the Oak Orchard River and Lake Ontario off beyond the lighthouse! But…..right after I took this photo and sat down, I realized the breeze was a tad too chilly under the canopy to eat outside (it’s always 5-10 degrees cooler at the lake and there was a steady breeze flowing through the covered deck)….so I went inside for a delicious steak sub and homemade chips!!!

I’ll sat out in the sun a bit later when I got home to read and enjoy the day!
