As Summer draws close to Labor Day I feel an urgency to do the things that define Summer. Sunsets,picnics, mini golf….

Remembering  how we would sneak in one last camping trip or a visit to Sea World or Geauga Lake. Lucky to live in an area with such attractions nearby.

Grateful for Strickland’s !We began the list with stopping for an ice cream cone.  Raspberry Pomegranate for me and Vanilla for Hubby. ( I ate half and a bite of crunchy cone as I am counting carbs. Grateful for self control.)

Hubby wants to go South to Amish country. I think he wants Amish cooking! Pretty countryside.

I want to go North to Lake Erie. I long to walk a beach and pick up sea glass.

Heard they are doing tours of the Portage Lakes. Sounds relaxing and informative.

As the week goes on we will define our staycation. Planning is half the fun of a bucket list.
