STUFF I DID THIS SUMMER
Sun, Sun, Sun. Anything to soak up all that vitamin D became my chosen activity. I couldn’t get enough!
I watered my 20-something flower containers every day and watched as they bloomed into the Garden of Eden.
I spent many wonderful days and nights in St. George enjoying the company, food, landscapes and golf courses.
I did my 3.5 miles every day, began to enjoy it, realized I couldn’t live without it and lost 25 pounds in the process.
Found Fisher Jonah again. Or is his name Jonah Fisher....Hm-m-m-m, I'm confused. Anyway, he was born into our family in May.
STUFF I DIDN’T DO THIS SUMMER
I didn’t ride my bike up Snake Creek in Midway.
Nor did I take an outdoor cooking class to learn how to BBQ meat.
I didn’t quite get to Bear Lake.
I didn't take care of my blog in between all my summer activity . . . . .
ON THE OTHER HAND
I did go camping. (In a trailer BUT I looked and smelled like a camper.)
We watched in awe as the space shuttle orbited across the Utah sky.
We waved to airplanes flying overhead from the pool.
HOWEVER, I didn’t bike in Lambert Park or ride the Vespa’s around the foothills in Alpine with Darcy.
I didn’t get up at 3 AM to watch the meteor showers.
I didn’t have my ‘tent sleep over’ in the backyard.
STILL, I watched fireworks from my deck. I drove through American Fork Canyon in the BMW with the top down almost every Sunday evening as the sun was setting listening to Cowboy Corner.
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE, THOUGH, if I had played MORE golf on MORE courses.
Or taken swimming lessons from Katie myself.
Or spent MORE early mornings in my beautiful backyard.
Or hosted a ‘12th North – The Old Neighborhood’ backyard party.
HOWEVER, I CAN’T COMPLAIN, BECAUSE
I watched the kids grow new ‘fins’ as they spent their summer in the pool.
I grew my first successful garden (with the help of Jeff) even though Salvador took my brand new dirt by accident.
I attended a great Sam Payne summer concert in Midway.
YET.
I don’t really feel too bad about the things I didn’t get to. I’m anxiously awaiting the coming ski season and realize it’s really not all that long until summer will be on the horizon and I will do it all over again!
