Happy Summer Friends!!
It is Wednesday and that means it is time for the Hodgepodge.
Joyce asks the questions.
We answer the questions.
1. Summer's here! In the northern hemisphere anyway. If you're in the southern hemisphere substitute winter for the word summer. What do you love most about summer? What's your biggest summer pet peeve?
I love the long days of summer.
My pet peeve is the humidity. That gosh darn humidity.
2. What song always reminds you of summer?
I attended girl scout camp each summer as a young girl. I loved singing the songs that we did. In the morning, noon and night we would sing. It was great fun. I love hearing camp songs. My memories will go right back to all the fun of girl scout camp.

3. What's something you remember about your childhood summers? Do you think kids today get to enjoy summer the way you did as a child? Elaborate.
We would play all day outside. We would play all night outside. At night we would play a game with our neighbors, we would hide and seek at night. It was great fun. I must admit, my friend Paulette was the best at giving you a fright. We loved it. We would do it over and over.
I did not grow up with screens, computers or hand held devices. So life was much different for me growing up in many ways.
4. We celebrate Fathers Day on June 21st. Do you favor your dad in looks or temperament? Tell us something about your dad. Or your husband as a dad. Or a son/son-in-law as a dad. Or your grandpa.
I have the love of nature. That is something I was taught by my dad. I accompanied him many times in the woods during the hunting seasons. He taught me to listen to the woods. I loved our adventures hiking along the river. He taught me to respect the river, any body of water for that matter. We would have to hike to a special place along the river to go Musky fishing. It was not an easy hike to get there, but once we got there it was a great day. It was one of my favorite adventures we would take.
5. Let's wrap up with a summer this or that-
- flip flops or sandals sandals
- beach or pool beach
- watermelon or peaches peaches
- shorts or sundress shorts
- iced coffee or ice cold lemonade iced coffee
- amusement park or water park water park
