My Summer Bucket List

09 May 2018 Comments Off

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.
