This is the first time I’ve played this meme!

Thirteen Things about Summer

1. Tons of heat and humidity where I live!

2. Tomato Sandwiches with a real home grown tomato, the best.

3. Some nights I like to have just ice cream for supper.

4. Vacations with the family.

5. Busy season for hubby with long hours during the day.

6. Going to the pool.

7. Kids playing in the sprinklers.

8. Mosquitoes…..they are terrible here.

9. I don’t get tan, only burn and peel!

10. Flip-flops and shorts.

11. Nothing but Reruns on TV.

12. Vacation Bible School at church.

13. No school and no early bedtimes!

    Great list, I would agree with almost every one of those (except I don’t like tomato sandwiches, I’m weird). I loved running through the sprinklers when I was little!

  17. Christina Says:

    Ugh, heat, humidity, mosquitos, and reruns. The main reasons why summer is my least favorite season of the year. (As well as the fact that it is hurricane season!!) At least it has some redeeming qualities.

  18. Mary Says:

  19. DivaP Says:

  20. Angela Says:

    There is good and bad to it isn’t there? Where I live, we have about 3 nice days, then it is hot and humid and mosquitos too…Wish someone would come up with something that would work in the backyard (really) for mosquitos…ugh.
