I have a mixed marriage. I am a PC, my husband is a MAC. He likes summer activities - beach, sand, sun, surfing. I enjoy winter activities - skiing, tubing - you get the idea. One of our ski resorts just announced today that they are going to open up for limited skiing and snowboarding for the 4th of July weekend. I think that is really cool that we got enough snow to ski into summer. My husbands response...."that is just evil!. The fourth of July is for BBQ and picnics, not snow, cold...yuk!" Now I am not running out to purchase my ski passes, but I think it would be fun to go watch.
I am a snow-bunny. When he puts on his snow clothes he says he "looks like a pill bug on steroids!" Hey, he could go skiing and not look like a pill-bug! He is a good sport - and I enjoy doing summer activities with him too.
So as the summer solstice is upon us, and summer begins - enjoy whatever it is you want to do with your loved ones - even if you have your differences of opinion.

So I have a blog....
My husband has a blog. My brother has a blog. So I guess I need to have a blog. I will post my thoughts from time to time as things seem important. I may even respond to my husband's blog with thoughts of my own. That is actually what prompted me to start this in the first place.
You see - he just posted (tongue in cheek I might add) about how we have to pack when we travel. I admit I miss the days when we could just pack a couple of small bags and go. Now when we go - even for a weekend we have two suitcases, two pillows and knee pillows, and two backpacks - usually carrying our electronic gear such as computers, mp3 players, speakers etc. When we go camping if my brother goes with us we are lucky to fit everything into our Honda and still have room for the three of us. (We have yet to tie anyone or anything to the roof, but it has been close...). Three suitcases (or duffel bags) three sleeping bags, camping pads, pillows, camp stove, wood for the fire, our small plug in cooler (or large ice chest), paper bags with food and water. And that is if we are cabin camping at a KOA! The one time we tent camped we had three blow up mattresses, and a couple of lanterns to add to all that. Anyway - it is not possible to pack light...even if I didn't pack a sweatshirt.
