1. What has been the highlight of your summer so far?
Hands-down, my excursion back to Florida last month … part sentimental journey, part 'getting to know you.' Man, if you've ever considered -- even a little bit -- hooking up in person with another citizen of Blogland … just do it! Thank you Sandra, thank you, Terri!
2. What do you wish you'd done more of this summer? Less?
I'm kicking myself for not having joined the 'Y' earlier. Prior to last week, there's no way in "h.e. hockey sticks" I'd have ever used 'fun' and 'exercise' in the same sentence.
Less? I should say feeding my face, but I've enjoyed every stinkin' carb that's come my way. Nope, no regrets.
3. (What's) something you're looking forward to on your September calendar?
Grand #1 is licensed to wed!
4. Best/favorite book you've read this summer?
A Killer's Mind. No way I saw that ending coming!
5. Share something positive, encouraging or uplifting here.
Since the first time I saw Rogers & Hammerstein's Carousel, I've loved this song!
6. Insert a random thought.
Still shaking my head at my recent good fortune.
Remembering my own dismal experiences in high school, I wasn't particularly excited to be entering the Y's locker room last. What a surprise to realize there wasn't a judgmental soul in the bunch … no, 'Miss Willer, you're not trying hard enough.' All shapes and sizes … one fellow is 91 years young!
We had a substitute instructor last Friday that brought her boom box (do they still call them that?) and we carried on for an hour to the likes of ABBA, Frank Valli/4 Seasons … and yes, the Village People (complete with the appropriate moves - ha!)
Being in the water, it didn't feel like I was exercising … but whoa, I paid for it that night and the next day. Baby steps!

Have a wonderful day, y'all! … Be safe!
Hugs,
Myra
