Where is the summer going so fast! I have so many things to do but not enough time in which to do them.  What did you do this summer?

Since I came back from my trip to Italy in May –

I planted flowers all over the yard.

I haven’t been to the beach. (Still hoping to get there one day soon).

Stayed home and had company over every weekend for dinner.

Babysat and entertained my two active grandsons,

Took care of a family dog,

and a neighbor’s fish.

Picked up mail for my neighbor, the one with the fish.

Took out family members to lunch.

Celebrated seven birthdays.

Celebrated our fifteen anniversary!

Celebrated my —- birthday.

Saw several movies in the theater.

Wrote two children’s books.

Edited my first novel.

Exercised every day.

Kept up with my FB, LinkedIn, TW and Goodreads sites.

Reviewed a thousand or so emails.

Reviewed twenty books on Amazon and Goodreads.

No wonder I am tired!!! Lol!

Thanks for reading. Here are some pictures of all the lovely flowers my husband and I planted in and around our home.

All in all it has been a fun, busy and somewhat productive summer.

Hope you are having a wonderful summer. Blessings to all!

Thank you for stopping by.  Hope you remembered to pick up some adorable children’s books at http://www.jemsbooks.com and read to your children. You will laugh along with them at Louey, Ricky, Jerry, Lamby and Jesse, sweet stories in rhyme with life lessons.

    Do you shop in the “active wear” department like me? Just kidding. 🙂 Busy summer!

  2. It’s great to be busy 🙂 does your summer last until the end of September?

      Until Sept 22nd but we can still have pleasant weather after that or it can get chilly like fall early. You just never know with New England weather in USA! Our fall is beautiful with all the trees changing colors though which is my favorite season!
      I start babysitting early in Sept again so my summer vacation is essentially over then. Lol!
