Summer Bucket List update 2014

Time to review my bucket list and see how my summer is panning out.

*Sonic - only been a couple times - will do more often.  Part of the problem is that they keep putting Bluebell on sale at Walgreen's, so we eat that at home!
*Make pickles - yes.  I found a great recipe for refrigerator pickles here

*Eat on patio  - no, it's been so humid and terrible outside.  We are grilling out there, but eating inside.
*Den blinds - not yet. 
*Pool more often - when it is sunny, I take my old mama self over there and try to exercise  with my kickboard.
*Library - no, but I am making my way through this stack of books.  I have read Heaven Lake and I really liked it.  Plowing my way through The Samurai's Garden now. 
*Get Bubbie ready for camp - done.  He had a good time and came home worn out, and with three merit badges.

*Help Scout find a job - he didn't need my help and found a job in Receiving at Macy's.  He really likes it, but they don't schedule him much.   And it's time for us to get him scheduled for college classes.
*Driver's ed - I told Bubbie we would wait til Spring. 
*Make donuts and pretzel bread - no.  My pretzel bread was a fail.  However, we have a plan to explore coffee shops in Austin where we will consume plenty of baked goods.
*Carol -  The rain cramped our plans.  We set a rain date of August 8th.  I have this to bring her:

*Paint chairs and kitchen - may Fall.  It just can't happen right now.  
*Visiting my mother - still haven't done this.
*Lunch out - We've enjoyed Lucy's, BJ's Brewhouse, Asia Cafe, Super China, 

Hopdoddy's, Cafe Java, Niki's, Whataburger, and Torchy's, to name a few.

*Couch for firstborn - I think I'm going to give him the futon. 
*Grass - helped by rain and growing faster than we can keep up!
*Vacay - not yet.
*Car for me - ditto

No worries - we still have about 3 weeks of Summer vacay left!
