2. What song always reminds you of summer? There are a few like Theme from a Summer Place by Percy Faith, I love it because I live in a summer place.
the Beach Boys All Summer Long which embodies everything about my teen years here at the beach.
Summer Breeze by Seals and Crofts because it reminds me of cooking dinner with the door open waiting for my husband to come home in summer.
3. What's something you remember about your childhood summers? Surfing with my Dad, hiking with him in the Watchung mountains, endless bike rides, barbeques every week, fireworks on Wednesday nights at Seaside.
Do you think kids today get to enjoy summer the way you did as a child? Elaborate. Well mine do because they get to spend the days at the grandparents beach house which is right on the beach and my house which is on the bay so their possibilities are endless.
4. We celebrate Fathers Day on June 21st. Do you favor your dad in looks or temperament? Tell us something about your dad. Or your husband as a dad. Or a son/son-in-law as a dad. Or your grandpa. My Dad was a chemist, he had jet black hair and chocolate brown eyes.. I have his dimples (somewhat) but not his coloring. I think I favor both parents really. My sons (I have 2) are the best.

5. Let's wrap up with a summer this or that-
- flip flops or sandals neither. I wear flat soled shoes because I am disabled now and sandals and flipflops are dangerous.
- beach or pool I will take either one.
- watermelon or peaches I like both.
- shorts or sundress either one is nice.
- iced coffee or ice cold lemonade Neither one. I like iced tea.
- amusement park or water park Not a fan of either one.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
There is nothing like the scent of salt air to bring you serenity.

A Summer Place is a good one! I still have my Seals and Croft Cassette! I remember going to the beach with some UCI students and they had some of S & C songs. That was the summer of 1968. Love you beach picture! I answered you question but on the kid picture. I was the boyish girl second from the left. My younger sister was on the far right. I also put an update on Minnie on my blog.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this post, and the song "A Summer Place" brings back memories. Also the song Summer Breeze just blowed through the jasmine of my mind. Although I had to look it up to find out what that lyric was. I thought it was blowing through the canyons of my mind. LOL. It's been a while since I heard it.
ReplyDeleteWe'll be at the beach next week for a wedding and I'm excited. I love lake life but need to see the ocean now and then too. My grandkids love that we live on the lake and they enjoy all the summer things like paddleboarding, swimming, kayaking here. And we love seeing them enjoy it too.
ReplyDeleteAny Beach Boys' song makes me think of summer, Annie. No more flip-flops or sandals for me, either. Enjoy summer on the shore!
