1. What is your favorite summer time activity?
Well, here in SOUTHWEST FLORIDA - you better stay in the water
or in the AC! We like to swim!
We swim most every day- we do plenty of other things- but if you're gonna be outside-
you better plan on being wet!
2. Do you have one laundry soap you stick to, or do you buy whatever's on sale?
I like Arm & Hammer. I also buy Wisk or Publix brand - depends on my
coupons and the BOGO sales! (but, I stick to those 3)
3. What is your favorite dinner to make in the summer?
I like steak on the grill- and Mexican food of just about any variety!
...but I like it best if I haven't made it at all-
4. Do you have any talents?
I am a legend -( in my own mind)
I'm also very adept at saying the wrong thing & NOT realizing it ...
until like the middle of the night or something!
I once told my GRANDPARENTS Dr. (of all people) that I was...
addicted to Coke.
5. If you could instantly be an expert in something, what would it be? Why?
I love sea turtles- I'd be an instant sea turtle expert. I don't think it even
needs explaining.
or....... an expert blogger!

In my life this week…
I actually had a little bit of time to myself because the boys went to
Vacation Bible School from 8:30 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. every day!
THAT doesn't happen very often-
In our homeschool this week…
Well, the boys did VBS and we took a trip to a local animal rescue.
The Peace River Wildlife Center is a terrific place for families to visit. It's small
but always home to about 125 "residents" who cannot be released to the wild.
Because it is small - we got some great one-on-one attention and learned a good bit about
the animals there. We also picked up a terrific "field journal" for kids specifically for
Florida animals - my 9 year old hasn't put it down!
We are also gathering the rest of our supplies to begin our "China" study this week.
We are ready for takeoff on our virtual world tour- launching THIS week!!!!!!!
Leave a note if you are interested in the China study and we'll send ya a "passport" and info
to join us in our journey!

Kelli: I was really enjoying your post, as always because they are are always so upbeat. Then I stopped dead in my tracks when I read that you are always in pain. I had no idea. I'm so sorry and I will pray for it to cease.

Hey beautiful Lady. How is my cohort? Do you see many sea turtles down there? I have only every seen one and it was in a zoo. The, "I am a legend in my own mind", statement is the best. That statement to me perfectly describes you. You said yourself you are in pain everyday, but you do not let it stop you. You have these great adventures, write an awesome blog, and find the time to raise three precious boys, plus start a new endeavor. I need that positive attitude of yours legendary adventuring momma. I lift you up in prayer for your pain & and that you will always continue to be an encouraging force for others.

I miss Florida so much when it's raining and cold here in New England.
And yes, we mostly eat grilled foods in the summer.
P.S. Thanks for the comment.
I'm already following you.
