Oh, such wonderful things on that list.

Really? Jamba has a "Thank You Jesus" drink? What's in it?

It is a lot like a strawberry surf rider but with more sherbet. Emilie loved it. I thought it was so funny, like giving code words.

Cleaning your flowerbeds, really? I like the one about cutting flowers for inside. I need to do that with our lilies. See you this afternoon!

Jamba Juice, I have never heard of this. I think I need to leave the farm more often! The only thing I would add to your list, is sippping lemonade under a maple tree watching the world go by. I wish you resided closer, we have so much in common I'm certain we would become great friends!

What a super list -- summer to me too is also going to a driver-in movie.

Hi Kim,
Loved all twenty, but the secret drink, I would love to try. I too love summer, and told my self that I wouldn't complain about the heat after having such a bitter cold winter. But I must have had my fingers crossed behind my back, as I have found myself asking dh how long will this heat wave last. LOL.

Truth is, we don't usually have this type of weather for this long until late July or August. The one thing I am happy about is that now the days will be getting shorter. lol
Thank you for your concern, as I have rested today, and I am feeling much better.
Hope your guests have found a new residence to visit. And like you I do have a soft spot, except if I could get my hands on that fox that has been coming around here, he would have had a bad day. lol.
Enjoy your evening.
Much love,
Sue

Thanks for the infor on Traeger BBQ pellet - lol - our BBQ has lived in the storage for 2 years because we have moved so often into each house we build then sale then do it all over again. But we are in a house we built here and it has not sold yet so we brought out the BBQ -- we are challenging ourselves to grill better teasting foods and not just simple grilling foods like hot dogs etc.. Thanks for dropping by my blog - always look forward to your visit!
