Summertime and the Living is Easy?
1. What do you like to do in the summer? As I am older
now I do not especially care for the hot weather so
being outside is no fun for me. But I do love visiting
friends and family, especially while the children are out
of school.
2. What is your favorite summertime food and beverage?
I love half sweet / unsweet ice tea or regular Dr. Pepper
which is my guilty pleasure. Amanda who studied
biology and biochemistry told me that no human should
never ever use anything artificially sweetened so
I dont drink any diet drinks. but I will drink an occasional
reg. Dr. Pepper. I love veg and fruit salads, Mexican foods,
and ice cream during the summer. Another guilty pleasure is
Denali Moose tracks chocolate ice cream. Oh , my! Of course
I have to eat little else to make up for it!
3. How do you beat the heat? Stay in the house. I remember
when I was growing up and we had no a/c I would go to
bed with a wet washcloth on my face. Here where we live
it is very humid in summer and that really knocks the wind
right out of me. Sometimes we drive down to the lake and
such sitting by the water in a shady place is so cooling
as the breezes waft in from off the lake!
4. What do you really like about the summer season? It
was so much easierto answer this question while I was
teaching because summer meant summer break. a respite
from the noise and hub bub of school. Now being retired,
I have no say unless I have a wonderful time planned
with our grands, I could just pass up summer and
move on to autumn which is my favorite season.I love
decorating for fall!
I can't handle being outside in the summer anymore, especially now that I'm in perimenopause.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed reading your post :)
I enjoyed your answers. Fall is my favourite season too, along with spring. I just wish fall was 2x as long as it is!
ReplyDeleteI think as we go through life our ability to stand heat or cold changes. Humidity is the worst though! Thank you so much for joining in. I enjoy reading the answers.
ReplyDeleteThe heat can really be uncomfortable. I do like all of your answers. I worked in the medical school in the 1980's. The doctors would say do not use artificial sweeteners. Drink rat poisoning, it will kill you quickly. The chemicals in those fake sugars will kill you over time and we wonder why we have so many different cancers. I use to love soft drinks now I drink more water. I like Spring and Fall the best. But I did enjoy this week's questions and all the great answers too.
