My husband and I took a fun short road trip to nearby towns. We found some hidden treasures in each town. It was a great time exploring what is close to our home.
I have had fun just spending time with my kids! Not something we get to do too much during the school year.
Lulu, my therapy dog, and I visited a school for children with disabilities and a residence for folks with spinal issues. Everyone had such a great time! Also attended and helped out at an event that raised awareness about teen suicide. Fun can be found almost everywhere, if you look hard enough, or bring it with you wherever you go.
I’ve enjoyed my son this summer. We’ve gone on a few trips, to the beach and fishing.
My summer fun has been visits to and from our 5kids and 10grankids. And I’m also finishing a quilt I’m hand piecing of hexagon shaped scraps I’ve saved since I started sewing in 7th grade. . . 45 years ago.
