Dear Fellow Journalers,
Here are 10 more ideas for your journal:
- Attend an outdoor concert. Many towns advertise these venues in early summer. Pack up a few snacks, your favorite beverage, lawn chair, jacket and Sun screen and relax!
- Ride in a hot air balloon. Take yourself to new heights and see what the world looks like from a bird’s-eye-view. To afraid? Watch from below.
- Visit or book a night in a tree house. My husband and I are fans of a tv show called Tree House Masters. Very skilled carpenters build absolutely stunning tree houses for clients. If you can’t find a tree house, go visit a lighthouse.
- Go on a train ride. You don’t have to travel far – maybe just a few hours away. Some trains offer meals.
- Adopt a pet from a shelter.
- Work in a soup kitchen.
- Go to your high school reunion. This can be a very good experience!
- Go on a retreat. Most of you who have been followers of this blog know that I attend a retreat every year. You learn a lot about yourself when you slow down in solitude and evaluate what’s important in your life and where you are headed.
- Go without the internet for a week or two.
- Read a banned book. While “Lord of the flies” is definitely fits this category, did you know that “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer ‘s stone” was once banned also?
My book pics for the summer:
- “Beneath a scarlet sky” by Mark Sullivan
- ” George Washington’s Secret Six” by Brian Kilmeade
- “If you want to walk on water, you have to get out of the boat” by John Ortberg
- “The Bridge” by Karen Kingsbury
Wishin’ to read:
- “Inner Hero Creative Art Journal” by Quinn McDonald
- “The Culper Ring” by Charles Rivers Editors
- ” Be in tree house” by Pete Nelson
Have a great summer.

My Summer Bucket List

Dear Fellow Journalers,
Some of the things I’d like to do this summer:
- Go to a Farmer’s Market. There are so many open-air markets in my state and I’ve never gone to one. Oh, I’ve bought pint-sized fresh berries at fruit stands in my time but I’ve never been to a market.
- Pick my own berries.
- Make S’mores. I used to make these at summer camp but I wonder can you make them at home without a fireplace?
- Go somewhere I’ve never been. This might be a day trip to a nearby town or a new park in town.
- Go to a drive-in movie. As far as I know, our state only has one of these.
- Enjoy home-made margaritas and Bing-watch a favorite tv show.
- Have a cookout.
Summer Reading List
Just the idea of a summer reading list makes me smile. When I was in grade school, we were mandated to read one major book chosen by our teacher. We were encouraged to read as many books as possible. The librarians went a step further.They sponsored a Reading Contest for each grade. The child who read the most books (verified) won a prize. Determined to be the sixth grade winner, I read 100 books that summer!
My summer reading list journal is the one I use for our local book club. It contains a list of my favorite authors, books I’ve read, a synopsis of the content and a rating. I also put a date on the list.
Some of my favorite fiction authors are: Heather Burch, Amanda Cabot, Kay Cordell, Richard Paul Evans, Jessica Fletcher, Joanne Fluke, Miranda James, Karen Kingsbury, Debbie Macomber and Janette Oke.
Next week I’ll continue my bucket list and book sites.

Summer Bucket List and Reading List

Dear Fellow Journalers,
It’s May in New England! Finally “Mother Nature” has un-clenched her tight rein on winter weather and released warmer temperatures, beautiful flowers and longer hours of Sun. In my “neck of the woods” our furnace was still on a few days ago.
With all this talk of warmer days, I started thinking about a Summer Bucket List. What did I want to do? Did I want to travel ? So, I dug out my Bucket List Journal and decided to add some things to do in the coming summer months. I’ll be sharing some of these with you over the coming months and of course, if YOU want to add some of your own ideas please let me know.
One thing I intend to do also is to read more books. I found a fan fiction site a few weeks ago ( something I never knew existed) and have become addicted. I really need to get back to my favorite novels. My picks for summer reading will be included in future posts. So, sit back, grab a cold beverage and dream!
