Summer plans?

Postby DeWayneTN » May 26th, 2009, 3:26 am

As we enter another summer, what are your plans? A big family vacation? A new project at your home or job?

I expect to be beating the heat indoors as much as possible, but would like to get reacquainted with the beach and swimming pool. I'll head to Denver in July for a work-related convention. I also hope to finish the fiction story I've been working on.

i am currently planning and expecting to mow the lawn a bunch in the early summer, and tapering off as the rain slows, then leaving weeks between mows at the height of the summer, picking up later in the summer a bit, but not as much as in the spring.

my vacations are planned around church events. usually camps, state and region conventions, local VBS, etc. my vacation time at work gets pretty thin after that, especially when I try to plan for thanksgiving and Christmas vacations too. not to mention that As the founder of the CPPA, I usually have at least one or two events to attend and make an appearance, if not run/administer myself.

always busy. :)
Thanks, Brent "RamboPreacher" Hoefling

We'll start this coming weekend. Nancy and I will fly to Milwaukee for one of our grandsons (Leo) first birthday. spend a week just chilling out with family.

June we have two team trips to the Philippines. always a great time. A lot of work but well worth it.

I hope to spend as much time with my grandchildren as possible. I absolutely treasure every minute I have with them.

Planning to remodel both our guest and master bathrooms. that should take care of June :lol:

My goal is to get my two teenagers working and driving if they are motivated and want to!

I'm going to be taking a few classes online, driving for a few field trips for our learning center summer camp, drive for summer school for two weeks, go on a short vacation with my parents who will fly in, visit the Y, and possibly work part time for the Census Bureau (good temp job!)

That's all I have planned so far. I know Jesus will bless us all with a nice summer. :)

Gardening, canning, learning how to raise a hog, continuing my cheese making, preparing for our next school year, sewing, butchering chickens, and making herbal medicine.

(And maybe some soap-making; we'll see.)

Decided not to work summer camp this year. While the boys are in Jr Camp, my wife and I are heading out on my motorcycle to Montana. 2 states of no helmet law and the closest Cracker Barrell.

Pretty much local stuff this year, acting like tourists. Guess that saves on Airfare & motel

"Vacation" will consist of a couple of weeks mid-July on campus at Fuller in Pasadena. Amy & Tori will join me this time, and we will have one weekend and a day or so of that as mini-vacation to explore the area.

A little over 5 weeks of church camp. Going to California on a school trip. And sometime, maybe get a little pool time and mow the grass maybe once during the summer. Thinking about putting in artificial turf since I won't be home to mow.

Most of my spare time this summer will probably be taken up in house hunting. I'll be retiring in November, so I've started to look for a place to spend my "rusting years." I know that it should be "my golden years," but the government took all my gold a long time ago. :lol: I'm doing pretty good in my search so far, I've narrowed it down to seven counties in three states. My mean old sister won't let me do what I really want to do, so I'll just live in a cave. :roll:

I haven't seen my grandchildren (ages 2 & 1) in 7 months. Looking forward to seeing them Sunday for a few days and then having them the entire month of July. In August the 3rd one will be here and hope to fly to N.J. for a few days the end of Aug. to be with my son, wife, and 3 grands!!!!!
