Summer

There are a few things I enjoy to do during the summer. There is a farmer’s market and beer garden in my hometown, it’s only open during the spring and summer months. We get fresh veggies and then spend some time with friends and have a few beers. There are also a few vendors with food; I have been getting the chicken and mushroom crepes.

This weekend marks my return to see the Pacific Symphony Orchestra. We get tickets every summer season. We take a picnic dinner and wine and enjoy ourselves in the evenings. Our friends are going to meet with us this Saturday and we can have dinner together before the concert starts. We always get the same seats and it’s so much fun and relaxing. I haven’t spent too much time with my friends, so it will be a real treat this weekend.

I have not been to the beach in a while and I need to go soon. The pups will soon have new homes to go to and I won’t have to be picking up after them. I love my pups and they are great, they do have the tendency to keep me home for a while. Not that it is the same thing as having children, so I can’t complain too much.

There are things I don’t like about the summer, my boss/friend gets grumpy working in the heat and it’s not a good time for him. When it’s really hot, I end up running to Sonic a lot and getting lime aids, it really helps. We have the A/C on and drink lots of water, but there is only so much we can do. Sometimes you just have to stop of a minute and cool down. Most of my entertaining happens during the summer, since I don’t have a big dining room. Summer also means BBQ and having friends over for dinner.

Another friend loves the heat. Of course they are very slender and it doesn’t affect them the same way it does when you are heavy. It can just be a matter of using tons of baby powder and showering more. I end up doing a lot more laundry during the summer. There is no way to make things last more than one wearing.

I can’t wear the same clothes I do in winter, my nice dressy things. They are just too hot it makes me long for the fall. Not that I am in a hurry to have it be cool, I just want to enjoy the beach a bit more, before it’s so cold and I have to take off my wet suit while the wind whips my behind. Till then, I will enjoy nice long summer nights and my favorite pass times.
