Ward's Sward... Where the Grass is Always Greener

• May. 27, 2007 - Summer Goals

So, what do we do now? Lay in a hammock all day, sipping lemonade and watching the fluffy white clouds float overhead? No way! We've got a busy, busy summer planned! In fact, we will be sooo busy this summer that we will be relieved when school starts back up this fall. NOT!!! J

These are my summer goals:

1. Painting projects (garage)

2. Fix up front porch (sew cushion for wicker chair & buy curtains)

3. Gardening (pull weeds, water, etc.)

4. Sewing projects (pajamas, jumpers, clothes for Philippines)

5. Write letters

6. Write story for Patrick

7. Update my cookbook

8. Organize pictures

9. Sell items on ebay

10. Read a "fun" book

11. Figure out next year's school schedule

12. Go to Homeschool Conference in D.M.

13. Go camping

14. Play with boys (bat & ball, go for walks, to the park, bicycling, games & other fun projects)

15. Go on field trips (Maquoketa Caves, Bentonsport, Pearson House?)

16. Local activities (library programs, fishing derby)

17. Visit sick & elderly (Grandad & Grandma)

18. Bible study (self, family, others?)

19. Continue with teaching youngest son how to play the recorder?

20. Teach our oldest son keyboarding? Computer programming?

21. Get together with cousin & her kids from Missouri (who also homeschool)

22. Ride city bus

23. Go to garage sales

24. Keep on bloggin'

25. Panic at the end of August when I realize that I have only accomplished a few of my goals. J

My husband and 5 yo son also love the cheese curds (squeaky cheese).

I hope you will accomplish lots of your goals this summer. However, don't be panic if not...because there will be more summers :).

Have a blessed Memorial Day!

Thank you for that keen observation! I've got it corrected now. Seems like I've always had troubles with dates... getting dates when I was younger, wrong dates on our camera, and now futuristic dates on our blog. :-)

Think of this list as a "suggestion" of what you might do this summer! Hey, if you get any of these things done, you'll probably have done more than me. I tell you, I just can't seem to get anything done lately. We are having a garage sale this Fri & Sat, if it doesn't rain, so we're getting that out of the way right away. After that, who knows? No big trips this year, thankfully! Thanks for your words of encouragement. I really appreciate you. Have a terrific week, whatever you do or don't do!

My youngest dd is wanting to go to yard sales. We might have to try that one day soon. Sounds like you have a great list of goals.

I finally mailed that letter.
Did you know postage is up to 41 cents?
Where did the Cents sign go on my keyboard?

DH is going to paint a LOT for us, if noone else hires him. haha.
And build shelves.
I'm going to learn how to mow the lawn and not be scared of flying rocks.
