Summer Plans

Back in the spring I joined with a group of bloggers to share my “Spring Bucket List.” Now that summer has officially arrived, I guess it’s time to update you on how that went. Here’s what I hoped to do:

• • Attend church convention in Tacoma, Washington.
    • Done.
  • Help Rebecca get chickens and build chicken coop.
    • Yes. If you follow her on Instagram you will be thoroughly entertained.
  • Finish the sweater I started crocheting in February.
    • Not quite. I still need to get a zipper. See? This is why I don’t crochet garments very often.
  • Visit at least one waterfall to see the spring run-off.
    • Snoqualmie Falls
    • Shoshone Falls
    • Post Falls
  • Dewinterize our vintage trailer and go camping.
    • We did do that! And then we turned around and sold it, and bought a different trailer.
  • Design or create a line of greeting cards.
    • I did play around with it some, but I decided not to pursue it, so I’m going to declare that done.
  • Host booths for the print shop at local business fairs.
    • We only ended up doing one, but still, done.
  • Plant sunflowers by the porch.
    • Definitely. And they are growing nicely.
  • Decorate the porch for summer.
    • Yes. I love sitting out there this time of year.
  • Go on a Geocaching day trip.
    • Remember that time we (almost) trespassed into Canada? That was our Geocaching day.
  • Pick a bouquet of wildflowers.
    • I can’t believe I didn’t do this during the spring. I’ll move it to my summer list.
  • Invite friends over for a cook-out.
    • And one more we didn’t accomplish. Another one to move forward.

Which brings me, naturally, to my…

Summer Bucket List

Our summer calendar is filling up fast, that’s for sure! Here are a few things we hope to do before the summer is over:

• • • Pick a bouquet of wildflowers.
    • Invite friends over for a cook-out.
    • Spend a few days with my parents.
    • Celebrate the 4th of July. (How’s that for a vague goal?)
    • Visit the Young Living lavender farm in St. Maries, Idaho. (My mother’s request.)
    • Attend campmeeting in Tacoma, Washington.
    • Attend campmeeting in Cascade, Idaho.
    • See my brother and his family.
    • Celebrate Lyle’s birthday.
    • Go camping with friends.
    • Go camping with relatives.
    • Get in at least one more “glamping” weekend. (My definition of “glamping” is an RV park with full hookups.)
    • Pick huckleberries.
    • Have a booth at the North Idaho State Fair.
    • Celebrate Labor Day.

Most of these things are actually on my calendar, so hopefully we’ll manage to do them. I’ll report back in September and let you know. In the meantime, I’m sure I’ll be reporting on various adventures throughout the summer.

I’m linking up with Leslie and others at Once Upon a Time and Happily Ever After. What’s on your agenda this summer?
