Thank you so much
My favorite moment this summer so far:
Of our 5 young adult kids, 4 live nearby but one daughter had to move to live across the country in Georgia so we only get to see her once or twice a year and that’s hard on all of us because we are very close knit.
At the beginning of the summer My husband and I flew (my 1st commercial airflight) from Michigan to Orlando Florida (my first visit to Florida too) where my daughter and her boyfriend drove to meet us there. We stayed at a hotel in Orlando Together and one day we spent the entire day at Universal Studios laughing and having fun making priceless happy memories together. : ) We ended the evening at our first visit to The Cheesecake Factory for dinner and dessert. We each chose a different flavor of cheesecake and then we each cut our flavor into 4 pieces and exchanged them so we could all taste all 4.
My best summer moment was becoming an AUNT! Little Ellen Elisabeth was born yesterday!
My best moment this summer , so far, was celebrating my father’s 99th birthday with family and friends.
My best moment this summer was when I got accepted into the nursing program! So excited and nervous to start!
The best moment has been spending as much time as possible with my 16 year old daughter. I know in just a couple years she will go away to college and I am just so grateful that we are so close and she still holds my hand and wants to hold my hand! I still love cuddling with her while watching movies! So that has been my favorite thing this summer!
So far the best moment has been being able to spend so much time with my 13 year old son while school is out. Next month we are taking him to Kennywood so he can enjoy the rest of his summer before school starts back up again. Thank you for the generous giveaway!!

I’m a brand new subscriber 🙂 The best part of my summer was actually not quite summer yet. We took our vacation at the end of May because someone let us use their summer home in Cape Cod. Though it was sort of chilly, we still had a lot of fun. On the way home we stopped at Yale University. My daughter and I are huge Gilmore Girls fans, so we thought that was the best thing ever! “Rory’s going to Yale.” Such a great show and such a bonding time with my daughter!
The best moment of my summer hasn’t happened yet. That day will be August 1st, when my nephew celebrates his second birthday, after successfully fighting cancer. It has been a rough summer. So far, yesterday was the second best day of my summer, when he was given a stem cell transplant and did well.
