What is everyone doing for summer?

What is everyone doing for summer? We let out half a day today. School is out for summer and don't go back until 7 August. All the little kids were screaming. Parents, they are all yours again. LOL

I had a lot of parents standing in the lobby waiting on their kids. Some were asking me if I could recommend a summer camp for a few weeks. I get that a lot during the last month of school. I always tell them to go and ask the office because I am a nurse and I don't have the latest on things like that. Every year the office puts a clipboard on the counter that says, “Summer Camps”. They all get taken before the last month of school. I had one young mother ask me if I thought it would be safe for her and her husband to go on vacation while her child was in summer camp. I'm not a mother but I do have 800 kids I take care of from August to May. I would at least want to be close enough that I could get to my kid/s. It just makes you wonder.

I'm not sure what I am going to do. My sister and her girlfriend want to take off a week or two and go stay in the guest house on the lake at mom and dads.

Working, just like every other month.

Good topic! We’re planning to travel some after being housebound the last two summers. Fishing trips at least once per month, visit our grandson who we haven’t seen (live) for two years, maybe a trip to British Columbia.

Every second day an effective bowel and liver cleansing, this in order to remain healthy.

There are 2 roofs that need to be redone - half of a shed and the remaining ¾ of the garage. I need to paint the garden shed roof, tin 2 sides of a shed, and put gutters on two buildings. We have to cut, split, and stack two years worth of wood.

Besides the normal summer stuff - garden, preserving that garden harvest, chickens, cats, and of course sub time (fun for him and fun for me as best we can).

Just another busy summer on the homestead.

I guess my honest answer to this would be, “waiting for Fall, Winter and Spring”. As I get older, I have come to despise the Summer months. I do not like the heat, humidity, bugs and mosquitoes, noise and crowded Summer attractions etc. I didn't always hate it but I've always been a fan of cooler weather. I have relatives and friends who moved to Florida and Arizona but it's not for me. In a few months, I'll be moving way North, close to the Canadian border…

Going for long walks!❤️

Recovering from Rotator Cuff surgery.

Going for long walks!❤️

Yep. Getting outside, fresh air, enjoying the outdoors and the scenery.

@Newbie35 Going for long walks!❤️

Yup, that about all we now do… find nice towns/places to fast walk through. Too old now to jog like we once did, but happy our legs are still okay…

I will be heading down south to Spain, and then way down to Andalucia and more especially Granada and the surrounding countryside. Then it will be days of walking all over, doing urban wandering with endless taking of photos.

And finally being warm without the need for clothing. And not having to worry about rain spoiling the day.

Hoping to spend a few relaxing weeks by the sea. Maybe visit with some friends while I am there. Travel into the countryside and enjoy the food and wine. Take in a few museums, maybe a short boat trip and / or a short road trip along the coast. Wander through a city or two. Return home and recover.

Hopefully the coast of Maine for a week in July

Outside, more time in and by water, and much less clothing

@reddevil, walking is my stress relief. I need to do more!

Burying my father, brother-in-law and hopefully getting married

Travel. This may be the last year I will be able to do that. Visit the kids, attend cons, relax in the mountains.

This thread brought to mind the Warner Brothers Animaniacs song intro comp of Pinky and the Brain. Enjoy! Each one is different.

Tis the Summer of concert date nights for us. Journey, with guest Toto was April. Last night we saw Atlanta Rhythm Section for a free concert in the park for our May date night. Now, we have The Doobie Brothers to see in June then on to Boz Scaggs for July.

That will be our fun stuff, to be a break from working on the house.
