It’s Tuesday and you know that means that Carole is wondering about something. This week she wants to know:
10 Things You Loved About Summer Camp
Well….
This poses a serious problem for me, because I never attended summer camp as a child.
I know. Talk about deprived!
However, it did get me thinking…If I could go to summer camp now, what would it look like?
- Knitting Camp, I mean really – how could this NOT be fun.
- CIA Boot Camp seems like the perfect way to spend a week!
- Or perhaps Wine Camp could be the thing!
- And after Wine Camp, the only thing to do is to go to Cheesemaking Camp, of course!
- Spy Camp? Really, this could be so.much.fun. Sans stilettos, of course.
- Perhaps something to rekindle my inner child at Soul Camp
- There are options galore at the John C. Campbell Folk School.
- Perhaps Language Immersion at one of the Concordia Language Villages?
- Knitting in Provence, Tuscany, or Norway – I mean really. Can I leave now?
- Yoga and Nora Gaughan Camp…in Maine.
There you have it, Gentle Reader – a plethora of choices for the camp yearning adult. Where would you go?

It’s Tuesday and you know what that means, Carole wants to know:
Ten Things You Did This Weekend
Without any fanfare, here is my weekend recap:
- Enjoyed a Happy Hour, or two
- Grilled Brittner’s specialty hotdogs, because can It really be the fourth without a hotdog?
- Harvested things from the garden – fresh produce waits for no holiday.
- Enjoyed farm fresh corn on the cob, grilled of course!
- Listened to Garrison Keillor’s last PHC from the Hollywood Bowl.
- Listened to NPR read the Declaration of Independence – their 28th year of doing so and it is crazy that I have listened to most of them!
- Tour de Fleece spinning took place, I finished the lovely Merino Yak and am working through the Columbia rolags.
- Mystery knitting happened (although I am still not finished with Clue #4…)
- Lots of reading – I finished Dead Water and started The Summer Before the War (in my ears) and A Man Called Ove (on my Kindle) and I am still working through Big Magic.
- And, savored every single second of this glorious summer weekend because, before we know it Labor Day will be upon us.
It was really an amazing weekend, but what I want to know is how was your weekend?

The yuccas are blooming rather beautifully this year. And while I don’t really care for them, I cannot deny their beauty right now. And the ants are sure having a love affair with them!
But the garden is really amazing.
I harvested my first beans.
And the last of the rhubarb, which will shortly become Rhubarb Lavender Shrub. Thanks, Vicki for the great suggestion!
How’s your view today?

Recipe for the Practically Perfect Summer Weekend:
- The best Friday Happy Hour, complete with barbecued shrimp and martini’s.
- Gardening time.
- Strawberry top infused Blushing Mules, oh my was this good! Oh, and both GIN and vodka are spectacular, just sayin’.
- Knitting and spinning. (Another item crossed off my Summer Knit Along list!)
- Moving my blog to a new server. (A million thanks, Steve!!)
This combination makes for a much more palatable Monday.
How was your weekend?
P.S. If you previously subscribed to my blog, you will need to do so again, thank you!
