Camping
What is it...lets share!

[Blade]

Haven't been able to camp as much as I'd like to this summer, WAY to much rain for tent camping so far this year. So this is on top of my summer bucket list.

[tndoc]

My summer is almost over, but i will scratch the beach off my list this week.
I still would like to see a summer concert.

[Mopsie]

I have not been able to do much this summer due to extra work hours. But I'm off for a week in August. Woot!

For that week I want to:

Visit family
Visit friends
Go swimming

Great thread! :)

[Bèsame*]

hmmm, well pre summer, I went to S Cali, and found the beach.

Been to a rodeo
Had a BBQ in the rain
Went to the movies
Walked the river walk
Ate Lots of cold watermelon

And my lists goes on..

Still needs to dance in the moonlight
Get a summer kiss.

[Blade]

I had hoped to take a spring trip to Beidler Forest, knowing babies and wildlife would be plentiful. I still hope to go, I just need to get there before the birds leave. I went last fall in late October and though it was a beautiful place I'm sure it is even more beautiful when it is alive with plants animals and reptiles and birds.

[always2late]

Beach
Trip upstate (maybe two or three trips :) )
Take the GRE
Get applications finished for grad school
Visit several schools
Finish putting together packets for recommendation letters
(ugh this summer went by too fast!)

[Soft*Silver]

my big thing on my summer bucket list was to have the wedding. Its over and done with so I accomplished this

Second big thing was to move the store..accomplished that 2 days before the wedding. Talk about being crazy...

Now I want the chain link fence up. My lawn man is putting it up for me. I found an amazing deal of 200 feet of fence with posts, gates and all the hardware for $50. New! They decided not to put up their fence! Its just enough to fence in the rest of the yard!

I need to renew my membership at the YM

I MUST get a working vacuum. I had three in the house. Two pissed me off so bad I literally threw them out the door. The last one is going to the repair shop. If it doesnt work, I think I might lose my mind. I have three dogs and they are all shedding...

I am waiting for my last clearance so i can return to work as a childrens therapist.

I want to find a larger home. I had one picked out last year but had to pass on it because I had to have surgery. As long as I can put off my hip surgeries another year, I will be swapping houses. Selling one to buy outright another. SO having a good vacuum cleaner is important.

Go to the beach. Any beach. I dont care. I cant sit out because of the meds I take but I can enjoy the slosh of the waves, while I sit in the shade...

[Bèsame*]

wheeeeeee,

Another rodeo this weekend, it made my list twice!

Scheming a surprise party......I can keep a secret :)

Simple, pleasurable, but oh how that will top the summer bucket list.

[Orema]

I signed up for a class to learn how to paint using chalk paint. That's the only thing on my list so far and I'm excited about that.

:pursebee:

[TL1]

Something exciting. One thing I will do is go down to the rock quarry and jump off the highest rock into the water. (It's pretty scary high) :thumbsup:

[Gayandgray]

Well let's see........ I'm not really sure? Maybe go to the petting zoo at least once this Summer, go to the Fair when it comes in July, maybe make it down to Maryland to the zoo there?

[Gayandgray]

Oh I forgot! Get over my ridiculous fear of fire and learn to grill like a pro!!!!!! Yes that is #1 on my bucket list, to conquer the grill!!!!!!

[grenade]

Organize my closet/purge clothes. It's become a mess.

I should have a garage sale. (It's so much work though.)

Game night ( this time physical/agility type games)

I wanted to enter an art contest but the deadline is a month away.

[Orema]

Just signed up for a class to learn how make lotion. Really looking forward to this class.

[Gráinne]

I'm writing an article for my Quaker newsletter-I'm going to do that tonight.

I've already had two articles accepted for publication to two other genealogy newsletters :). No money, but that's not the point anyway.

I'm going to do Camp NaNoWriMo in July instead of November, and see how I do. (NaNo is a program where you write a 50,000 word novel in a month. It's traditionally in November). I always have had trouble doing it in November, with holidays and work, so July sounds more manageable).

August: AnimeFest in Dallas

Joining Toastmasters on Monday :). I'm one of the only people on the planet who enjoys public speaking-maybe that's why I teach!

Tutoring my new ESL student

[Orema]

Am closing my summer with music by going home for the 37th Annual Detroit Jazz Festival (http://www.detroitjazzfest.com/) (the world's largest free Jazz festival). Bassist Ron Carter and guitarist George Benson are headlining the event. Really looking forward to seeing family, visiting grave sites, and hearing some good music.

:bow:

[Chad]

I feel like a trip to Florida.

:cowboy:

[Chad]

I am thinking about travel. I love going to the NE and I am headed back there soon. I also want to go to the SE to visit Florida and Georgia.

I would like to plan a trip to the NW, the flight from Texas going west is nice but the return travel is really hard. I would like to see northern California and Washington to start.

Happy traveling friends!

[Bèsame*]

Seeing Fireworks tonight. Even though it's wickedly hot,
And we can't make up our minds what to have for dinner!

If you go to Galveston make sure to go to Miller's Seafood on the Seawall the food is so yummy. Also, I recommend the Galvez Hotel. It is a lovely historic hotel. I stay there often.

I know we just started Spring...but this could also be the start of a summer project. Check it out!🌻🌻🌻


Lowe's plans 'SpringFest' event with free curbside 'Garden-to-Go' projects for families. How to sign up
KELLY TYKO | USA TODAY | 9 hours ago

"Spring just feels so metaphoric this year. Sort of this coming out of our winter, literally and figuratively," Thalberg said in an interview with USA TODAY. "We're already seeing that interest starting to really build quickly as the weather is starting to get warmer in different parts of the country.”

Every week in April for "SpringFest," the North Carolina-based home improvement chain will give away different themed kits to families who register in advance. Registration starts April 1, a week before the first of four weekly giveaways.

Curbside activity kits: How to sign up
Registration for the free Garden-to-Go kits begins April 1 on Lowes.com for the first kit which will be available for curbside pick-up on April 8. The “family-friendly activity kits” can be reserved on the website a week in advance, while supplies last.

Here is the weekly schedule of kits:

April 8: Lowe’s says this kit “is sponsored by Miracle-Gro” and includes recipes from cook and food stylist Amanda Frederickson.

April 15: Lowe’s Mystery Garden Pinata with mystery seed packets.

April 22: For Earth Day, Lowe's will give out 500,000 tree saplings

April 29: "Lowe’s Butterfly Quest" helps families create a butterfly garden.

Getting in a camping trip or two.

Go on a mini-library tour. No matter whether they are grand or something small attached to a village clerk's office - I want to plan a trip to see a small number of them for example - between here in New York starting with where I live and then go on to add say 10 other towns or villages within a certain radius in miles and then keep an online blog about the ones I visit. I realized today after taking some time for self-care and doing some cleaning - that it would be nice to get out and about for maybe a month - and do something I love.

Host a housewarming get together. In all the places I have rented over the years - I think I have done maybe two housewarming parties. I never really considered doing it - because quite simply - I felt that it was more of a "if you buy a house" type of thing. But, I realize that even if I never own a house (by choice) that does not mean that the places I have rented have not left their mark on Me and My neighbors along with that. So, I am thinking of doing it this Summer- because I love this townhouse.

Oh and finally a Summer bucket list staple: read, read, read, and read some more.

Its not even summer yet....

Seen many sunsets on the beach. We even blew bubbles that one night.

I got a steal of a deal on a turquoise beach cruiser on offer up. I can hardly wait to ride it. Though I have to wait for the stitches on my shin to come off.

Wear more sunscreen

I recently marked a top item off my bucket list and the experience was incredible!!

I invited an out of state friend to meet me at Currituck Sound for several days. We went to Kitty Hawk Beach, First Flight museum and monuments. Then we took an absolutely incredible two hour tour (on a safari truck) to see wild Mustangs on Corolla and other beaches. I didn't realize it would be such a spiritual experience.
The next day we visited a special place where sick or injured wild horses are cared for. A sanctuary and fell in love with Rita the mustang and Raymond the tiny mule.
Went to a few more museums and wildlife centers.
On our last day we drove to Roanoke Island (my friends bucket List item) to see the Lost Colony historical site.
Took many pictures of light houses.
Stayed in a beautiful waterfront cabin.
A trip I'll never forget. Especially the horses.

Breaks my heart to read this and know my dearest friend is no longer with me, thanks to pancreatic and liver cancer.
My early summer bucket list for this year is to go back to all these destinations to celebrate her and to finish what she didn't get to finish at Roanoke Island.
I'll make it happen just for her.

I'm so sorry to hear this and I am very sorry for your loss. I hope your adventures are healing.
