Summertime Tuesday 4

Summertime

Hosted by Annie!

 Welcome to Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4  July is here and summer is underway.  

Let's talk about what July will bring for you.

1. What are you doing for the  4th of July holiday? If you don't celebrate what plans do you have that day? Oh, we went to a fabulous  patriotic musical  at a nearby church Sunday evening that was  absolutely glorious! And it was wonderful to run into several long time dear friends and have lengthy chats! At our age,   we  do not  really have anything planned. I would love to  go out to find a place to park  where we could enjoy the fireworks!  We used to every year.  But    that is iffy this year.  But  I did a bit of decorating around the house for the holiday, and we are flying the flag and have the bunting around our porch!  HAHAH we usually will sit out on our porch and  light a couple of sparklers if the kids didn't use them all up, last year!!!

2. Are you planning a holiday , get away or just day trips  this summer? Where will you go?  What will you do?  My birthday is this month  and we plan to go  to a B and B to celebrate. The place is phenomenal! We were there years ago with a senior group just to check and see how marvelous it was! I have wanted to stay there ever since! It is in the mountain area of Virginia  and  the town itself is full of great restaurants and run venues!! I will share some photos following our   short stay! 

3. Do you  like to go out for ice cream in summer or do you just eat it at home? What flavor and what brand gets your endorsement? I love to go out for ice cream... Much more  fun than eating it here! I love soft serve and if it is dipped, all the better!

4. What activities are most enjoyable for you in the summertime? travel?  reading? movies? gardening? beach time?   I love travel and reading,  but  as neither of us love the heat anymore.  we mostly enjoy short travel.. exploring new areas around   the state. We will do a bit of that on my birthday jaunt! 

If you are reading, do you have some books chosen?Yes, I am really into cosy mysteries these days... so I have some  on order. I have a couple to help get me started!!  I love  books by Carlene O'Connor  whose mysteries occur in Scotland and Ireland!
