Happy Memorial Day! (Plus Our Summer To-Do List)

Happy Memorial Day, folks! I’m taking the day off to spend time with family (including my sister’s brand new puppy, Rory), and I hope you’re getting some much-deserved time off with loved ones, too. In the off chance that you’ve set aside a bit of your down time to catch up online, I wanted to share a quick breakdown of all the things we have planned for the upcoming season. We probably won’t get to everything, but dreaming is half the fun, right?

Our Summer To-Do List:

• Read more books
• Go to a concert or two
• Travel to a big city
• Visit with family more often
• Brunch!
• Spend time by the water
• Enjoy weekend wine tastings
• Listen to more music
• Spend a long weekend at the beach
• Drive with the windows down
• Volunteer for the local symphony or SPCA
• See an old movie at Wayne Theater
• Host a cookout
• Paint the sunroom
• Light up the fire pit more often
• Eat more fresh produce
• Plant a garden
• Send more snail mail
• Go antiquing just for fun

Another thing I’d love to add (which, of course, sounds a little counterintuitive) is to relax. I’m anxious to learn how to get just as much out of doing nothing as I do from being on the go, so that’s something I’m planning to work on this summer 2017. What’s on your summer to-do list?
