Quiet, lovely time just appreciating each other and laughing. Wait... I DO HAVE A PIC I could share. ;) <br />Also, I'll share with you that I finally started my version of this like we talked about. Thank you for encouraging me to start! I started today and would love to have you... and any of your friends join up and share. It's called #SharingYou because that's exactly what I want to do.

I am one of those morning people many find obnoxious--not because I wake them up, but because I wake up early and and wide awake. I love the early morning because it is often the only time I have alone. During the school year, I get up at 4:00 to have enough time to spend with God, review social media, maybe write a little, and then get to school on time. The problem during school is I have to plan my time and sometimes rush to get everything done.<br /><br />During the summer, I don't get up quite so early. And I can do my morning activities without a deadline. I love having time to spend two hours reading God's Word and meditating on it. And then reading a Christian book. Most mornings there is less rush and I can spend time lingering over the things I love to do. As a teacher, I am blessed with nine weeks of summer. My Bible, book, and coffee are headed out to the patio right now!

My favorite summer activity? Might just be...Hmmm. My favorite summer activity? Might just be camping. The summer temperatures make it so much more fun! I'm a fan of shorts and sandals as opposed to long johns and down jackets - just sayin'...<br /><br />I also like riding in our old Jeep with the doors and roof off. The wind in my face and hair, using a stick shift - ahh, makes me feel young again.<br /><br />One of the things that my hubby and I do in the summer is go to an annual Western Festival in Utah. There are all sorts of vendors, an old-fashioned cookout, a film festival, and the biggest highlight is meeting many stars from old TV shows and movies that we watched when we were growing up. We dress up, too. My hubby is Virgil Earp from the movie Tombstone (you can see a photo of him on the sidebar of my blog), and I am a demure (maybe) city girl dressed in lavender and lace. We have so much fun.<br /><br />And Beth, I only live about 1 1/2 hours away from San Diego! Next time you think of visiting, let me know ahead of time. Maybe we can plan to meet up in person!!<br /><br />Now THAT would be a favorite summer activity!<br /><br />GOD BLESS!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840994989201507494noreply@blogger.com
