What are YOU, fellow hubber, doing for summer?
I am headed to the beach, some mission trips, and of course, writing tons of hubs

summer is gone..soon rain would start here...
So far I have been doing a lot of driving, and taking my brother to the VA in Ann Arbor for his tumor treatments and doctor visits. When I have free time, I go to my favorite beach, and have spent a couple weekends camping.
I was able to camp Memorial Day weekend, and I had a great time. I made a lot of new friends, and, for the first time ever, I didn't get a sunburn!
Camping already, beach already, now in August heading to Fire Island a couple of days and a big bash party at a friends house and of course working in between. OH, I'm also keeping the pace up writing Hubs. Enjoy the rest of the summer everyone.
not sure yet - work may get in the way. normally take off for 3-4 weeks - last 5 years have been motorcycle trips.
do have one travel plan - land in texas and travel around texas, louisianna, alabama, georgia and south carolina - still up in the air.
just want to travel somewhere, somehow, someway....outtahere!
Pool, beach, pool, lake, pool, boating, pool, beach, pool, fishing, pool, beach. Maybe mountains, too.
I have to join the masses working also.... But there are always the weekends for swimming, drinking, womanizing, and generally enjoying myself (normally over 30degrees here in the winter also so no different to the summer for having fun at the weekends - except more indoors during the day when the temperature hits 45degrees plus...)
I can't work a regular job because of sickness, so I will spend my summer doing a lot of writing.
Celebrating my 50th birthday July 13th! Party on Friday 16th at our local pub, with all my kids, my grandaughter and family with me for the whole weekend
Apart from that - working, working, working! There's no rest for the wicked
Many new experiences.
Yard work (including landscaping type work) - yup, so true. Never had to do yard work before.
Planting a garden - excited!!
Taking Interpersonal & Small Group Communications class
Continuing with Chiropractor - will I ever be healed?
Writing more and more of my story/book
Writing hubs
Practice taking digital photos (haven't had a camera in like...25 years!)
Would love to take some kind of vacataion - never had money for a vacation....
Other than my original responce to this post, I am doing everything I can to beat the heat. It has been in the 90's here in Michigan for a couple weeks now, and next week is supposed to be even hotter! Yikes!
My main focus is going to be on my camping trips. I spent 5 days camping over the fourth of july weekend, ended up getting sick afterwords. So, now I am trying to get better before my next trip in August.
I still want to go to an amusement park this summer. I need to get my coaster fix. But, might settle on going to the local fair. Otherwise....camping, and more camping.
Work, work, gardening, work, taking the four-legged pest to the dog park, work....that's been my summer so far .
That said, next week both of my sons will be here for a while (I've talked to my stepson for a while over the internet, but Tuesday will be the first time meeting him in person) and by time they leave summer will be over, so it's about to get a lot more interesting .
Haha, I like the sound of that mission! I wish I had more time on my hands, but exams are biting my tail.
It's winter here right now, but I can't wait till summer! Loooong school holidays means loooong hours on Hubpages

I can see why they think I'm nuts. To them I am a stay at home mum of two kids, so why is my house such a mess, and why don't I go out at evenings or weekends. Its coz I am tap tap tapping away at my keyboard.'Why' they ask, fairly enough. 'Because I am trying to learn as much as I can about...

Which do you see as a better business decision? Making more money but working more. Or making less and having much more time to do what you want (either to play more or take on more time consuming business opportunities)?

What do you most look forward to doing during the summer?I saw the sun this morning and it got me thinking towards the summer. It's been a long and cold winter for here! I look forward to heading to the beach for an evening swim with the family, once the tourists have head back to their hotel. The...
