Hello Summer and it is the Hodgepodge.
Joyce asks the questions.
We answer the questions.
1. Summer officially begins this week (in the northern hemisphere)...what was your favorite thing to do in the summer when you were a kid? What do you like most about summer now?
Family would come to visit from Southern Wisconsin. I enjoyed playing and visiting with my aunts, uncles and cousins.
And what do I like most about summer now? The same thing, we get together as a family one weekend every summer. We laugh, get out on the water kayaking, fishing, campfires, enjoy delicious food and we have s'mores.
2. Something you'll celebrate this summer?
I guess I answered this above. We will celebrate family.
3. Summer tastes like? Smells like? Sounds like?

4. June 18th is National Splurge Day...what's the last thing you splurged on? What might you splurge on today?
What is the last thing we splurged on? Cheese! We love Gouda cheese. Marieke Gouda in Thorp, Wisconsin makes the best Gouda. We don't live close by, so when we had a recent road trip that way, we stopped and splurged to fill the cheese drawer in the refrigerator.

I will not be doing any splurging today.
5. Share a favorite summer quote, saying, song lyric, or meme.
"And you know it's not so much the heat as it is the gosh darn humidity"
6. Insert your own random thought here.
We enjoyed a special Father's Day with our boys.
We went to a local baseball game, it was a fun game, lots of action and of course spending the day with family, that is what it is all about.

That quote! So true- heard it a lot in Indiana though people say it here in Ohio, too. I love Gouda cheese and I love that you have a cheese drawer, too! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteYum on the Gouda. I love Gouda too. Well I would think you all would have the best Gouda up there in Wisconsin being the cheese capital lol! Love the pic of the boys. Have a wonderful week. Hugs. Kris
ReplyDeleteThe best kind of summers is exactly like you described Carla.. I am becoming a fan of Gouda cheese....Daughter (Trista) has introduced me to it and how yummy it is on a salad. Your guys are all handsome young men. Summer is Here in Texas for sure..
ReplyDeleteYour summer quote is a perfect one for Alabama . . .where I live. This morning when I stepped outside, it felt like a wet hot blanket! It is not even 9:00 a.m. yet and the humidity is 83%; Dewpoint is 73. We love grits at our house and when I make cheese grits, one of the cheeses I use is gouda - yum!
ReplyDeleteSwimming had to be my favorite as a kid - I didn't know about splurge day? I have a friend coming over today, I will splurge with chatting and relaxing!
ReplyDeleteYour patriotic flower arrangement is stunning!
ReplyDeleteSweet. I'm glad you had a pleasant Father's Day with your family. Summertime is special in Wisconsin for so many reasons. <3
ReplyDeleteI hope you have lots of great family fun this summer! I adore cheese, too.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to have time with family over the summer, it sounds like fantastic fun!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great established plan to get together one weekend in the summer. Love that. We enjoy gouda. I even had gouda on my hamburger at the Rusty Putter today. Love the father's day photo, handsome!
