    c.   3 days of in-depth Bible Study

    d.  1  very special  morning  coffee get together with  a team of prayer warriors  I                  

          used to meet  regularly with,  followed by a  wonderful prayer session

    e. 4 glorious days  with our daughter's family as they  come here to visit both

          sets of us parents   

2. Your mid year resolutions or goals  Now that I am  an official member of WW I do hope to have lost   about  20 pounds by mid July! In two weeks I'd lost 8 pounds so far. 

3. Are you good at taking care of plants I  want to be,  but can be forgetful.  I need to do some watering  today!

4. What makes you feel nourished?  When I am caught up on my BIble daily reading.  I am couple days behind as I sit here.

5. Which animals do you see most in your area.. that one is easy  and a bane of my life.  we have  a zillion  chipmunks..  digging holes  everywhere.  I used to love them,  but now they' re a nuisance.  And we have herds of deer  travel through  our yard in the evenings eating everything in sight. They decimated my roses  and   I am extremely upset over them. I called our city  to see what  they' re going to do about them...  they said, "Nothing!"Last year they ate the all of the  veg  we planted.

6. Books on your summer reading list  I do not have any ... I do have a couple books I hope to read....  but not a list!

7. Projects you want to tackle this summer ...I  have the ongoing  project of decluttering.  I have  a bag full of old winter clothes after I changed out my seasonal  clothing.  I could always  clear out a few old books and magazines  I know I will never read.  And downstairs   we have a bit of decluttering to do once again.  We do some every summer!  I have a dream of painting the sunroom. When we moved here I loved the cherry panelling.  But now it is so dark and  just not in style anymore,   so I  want to paint it a bright  off white and  also paint the hutch a lovely color,  like  a  soft teal.   But I haven't convinced hubs yet!

8. Do you have weddings, graduations, summer celebrations.  I do not attend our family reunion anymore. It just isn't fun now that now of my aunts are there!

9. Which summer snacks are you excited to enjoy again

Well, I made a  wonderful  watermelon, strawberry  cherry, blueberry salad last week for a dinner I went to,  and we are still munching on the left over fruits.  We bought too much, actually,  SO that would be my favorite summer treat!

10. How much time do you like to take for vacations. Well, even when we did Ireland and Scotland it was for 2 weeks.  so I  think that is  surely long enough!  Now if I was vacationing with my family  I could go one and on. I miss them so much!!

11. How much has changed since last summer?

Gotten a year older and  I  don't like to say,  but  a bit more  infirm.  but I have to work on it every day!

12. Something that would be out of character for you...Hard to say, I can be quite a character at times!

13. What do you miss about winter?Nothing really... one season  runs into another at this age.  Each day is much the same.

14. Your favorite free / cost effective ways to have fun.  Not exactly free,  supplies involved,  but they do last a long time..I'd have to say art.. I love to do art.. and am looking forward to starting my nature journal  soon!

15. Who do you trust most to house & pet sit  Ive never  had  anyone to sit for anyone but our daughter decades ago.  I don't think it will ever come up.   All of the folks whom I really trust now    are  in the same shape Im in.    But if it were a short term thing. I know I could trust  Gerri and David, along with Dottie and Bill!
