Hodgepodge Questions-Volume 660
2. Your favorite patriotic song? They all give me goosebumps, but our National Anthem is first.
3. Red, white, or blue? Stars or stripes? Something you own besides a US flag with some combination of those colors or decorations as part of its design? I own many red shirts, quite a few patriotic t-shirts, and I like both stars and stripes.
4. What's one thing you want more of this summer: fun, rest, adventure, connection, quiet, or confidence? Elaborate. Fun, all year long. Summers in Florida are hot and humid, so I stay in where the AC is working as much as possible. Adventure can wait for Fall and cooler temperatures!!
5. What was your ultimate, go-to summer activity when you were a kid? Do you still do any version of that today? If you answered yes, does participating in this activity as an adult make you feel like a kid? I grew up in Ohio, at one end of Buckeye Lake. We spent as much time as possible outside. The older kid in me went to one of the beaches on the lake, or if we were lucky, Dad would give me the key for the boat, and we could anchor on the sandbar to swim. There were trees to climb, Nancy Drew books to read, woods to hike in, and railroad tracks to play balance beam on. No cellphones, no computers, just imagination and fun. No, I don't do any of those things now. Summer in Florida keeps me in the AC. I do miss a lake without alligators, though!
6. Insert your own random thought here. We are getting good rain every day! The pond at our clubhouse is filling up nicely!! Here is the picture I took yesterday on my walk. Below that is from April. Big difference!!
