Summer Activities List (Updated):

Hiking

Camping
Blackberry picking
Listening to live music
Canoeing/kayaking
Picnics
Something involving a fire on a beach and hot dogs
Going on a boat
Wine tasting
Art galleries
Daytrips (Gualala/Mammoth Lake)

So I decided to go blackberry picking today. I drove out to the country and started to pick berries from the bushes on the side of the road… and quickly discovered that this was a dumb idea. Picking the berries was messy and tedious. Every time a car drove by I felt exposed and shy. And then, a big spider scared me.

I decided to go home instead.

Miss Muffet! How was Gualala? One of my favorite spots! What did you do?

Oh, I see camping is still on your list! Don’t worry, I foresee a camping trip to Lassen in the near future… Let’s see if my psychic abilities are accurate ;-)

Krista: Oh, I didn’t get out to Gualala yet, but I went to Humboldt with Marcia. I will be putting up pictures of our roadtrip tomorrow, probably

Stephanie: LOL yup. Then I just have to play tennis on a boat on the beach and I’m all done.
