Something you've seen recently that's 'cuter than a June bug'?
My friend Amy's little girl...
Back in 2019 during my summer staycation was when I first spent time with little miss Eleanor. She was cuter than a June Bug then. Just look at her now...
During this year's staycation, I got to spend my first trip to the zoo with Eleanor, who is now 2 1/2. My how time flies, but isn't she adorable?
Tell us something about where you were and what you were doing in June of 1988? If you weren't born yet, June of 1998. Or if that doesn't work, June of 2008.
In June of 1988, I was working my first summer job at the Jacksonville Senior Citizen's center, getting ready for my junior year of high school and looking forward my first marching band season that fall. It was a great, fun summer.
A place in your home or outdoor space where you feel 'snug as a bug in a rug'?
My recliner (man, I sound like I'm 83), or as I call it my reading/prayer chair. It's one of the most comfortable seats in my apartment. In the winter, I enjoy curling up in this chair with a good book (or even a bad one) wrapped in a blanket. Most days, I sit in this chair and get before God in prayer. His presence makes the chair even more special.
June is National Fresh Fruits and Vegetable Month. Do you normally get your 4-5 servings each day? What's a favorite summer dish you make/serve/like to be served-ha! made with one of your favorite summer fruits. A favorite summer dish made with a favorite summer veg? How do you feel about cooking in the summer months?
I don't always succeed at getting my 4-5 servings of fruits and vegetables daily. Raw fruit with yogurt or a slice of cheese works just fine. Raw veggies with dip or ranch dressing are yummy. I don't mind cooking during the summer months as long as I've got something ice cold to drink with my meal.
Do you have a summer reading list? If so share a title or two we can add to our own.
For serious reading, I plan to study through James Bryan Smith's Apprentice series:
The Good and Beautiful God
The Good and Beautiful Life
The Good and Beautiful Community
For light reading, I want to read:
The Lost Causes of Bleak Creek by Rhett McLaughlin and "Link" Neal
The Innocence of Father Brown by G. K. Chesterton
I may also start rereading the Anne of Green Gables series by L. M. Montgomery. It's been way too long since I first read these volumes.
Insert your own random thought here.
A couple of Hodgepodges ago, Miss Joyce asked us about items on our wish list or shopping list. On my wish list was a robe and slippers, which I did purchase...sort of. It's a little warm for a robe now, so I purchased a summer nightgown instead and a nice cushy pair of slippers. As far as the items on the shopping list go, I decided not to purchase the tablet right now. I removed the last optional app from my Kindle fire and freed up a little space and it seems to have temporarily stabilized it. I'll remove my needed files from it and keep using it until it won't work anymore--then I'll purchase a different type of tablet. I'm still working on my search for another pair of athletic shoes (Our Big 5 stores have been awful lately). As far as the items for my apartment go, I did get the needed items and what I needed to redecorate my "stoop" for summer:
