A Friday Five
1. Can you share a tale of a favorite summer cookout/get together?
For about 4 years in a row, our family went camping on Memorial day weekend at a certain state park with 3 or 4 other family friends. Right on Lake Michigan (though WAY too cold to swim). About 4:30 or 5 became happy hour. Drinks and hors d'oeuvres were brought out and shared with the group. Lots of fun and late night bonfires. Great memories.
2. What is a favorite summer ritual of yours?
Until this year, I would have said 'The Unemployment Tango' (I'd go on 10 week summer layoff). Now, I don't really have one.
3. After a long hot summer day, what is your favorite way to quench your thirst?
There is still nothing like iced tea. No lemon. No sweeteners. If I'm hot and thirsty enough, even instant tea is refreshing as long as it's cold.
4. The 4th of July is coming up, what plans, if any, do you have?
May go to a cookout at a friends house. I've never been a big fan of home fireworks, though, I don't see much point in being patriotic by using small explosives.
5. What are you looking forward to doing most before the summer ends?
I want to get away for a weekend alone to meet a friend in Iowa (halfway for each of us) to exchange some momentos of a dear dear friend who died a year ago.
