Summertime Giveaway
I love giveaways and I haven't had one in a long time. I really enjoyed painting the swirly canvas for Mrs. Patrick and decided to try the same technique in other colors. I did two 8x24's in a golden yellow and aqua, and one 4x12 in a dark lime green. I personally like all three!l

My most favorite summer was the year (2006) John and I went to Hawaii together. He and I were giving John Ryan this as a present for graduating WCHS....well....he was afraid to fly so we cashed in his ticket and went on anyway. We spent 7 days and enjoyed them fully. My friend Mona lives there and we stayed with her and her family. We didn't do much "tourist" things...we did what the locals do and it was so relaxing. From swimming with the fish at Hanauma Bay to watching the surfers at Sandy Beach we truely enjoyed ourselves! Learned how to cook Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. That was neat. Grandma Fujimoto (who is 95) cooked every night. And those never ending stories of how John freaked out on the plane when the pilot announced that we were going to have to pull back into the terminal to let a mechanic on board to fix an oxygen mask (which had fallen down because a man did not check his huge luggage and chose to try to squeeze it in the overhead storage area) John embarassed me to death! It was so funny when people would call on our cell phones and want to know what we wanted to do about the games being rained out at the Civic Center and we would laugh out loud when we told them we were 4,900 mi away.
I have posted a link on my blog telling everyone to check you out!
I would love to have one of these beautiful paintings to help me with my "renovations from the tornado".
I Love Your Work!!!!!

One of my favorite summers growing up was the summer I spent at Short Mountain Bible Camp. Part of my job was lifeguarding at the pool there. However, I did things there I never thought I would.(The whole camp ran out of water) :) It was alot of hard work but it was one of the most rewarding jobs I've ever had. I came to understand why God calls us to be like children and decided that I wanted to work with kids in whatever profession I pursued. I made some lifelong friends and memories there. I grew into a young woman that summer and left that mountain a stronger Christian.
Hope you're having a great summer!

I have you linked on my blog and I'll post about your give away.
I have never been able to take the summer off, I've always had to work. This year I promised the kids we would be lazy everyday(and we have)swim everyday (we almost have) and go on a vacation (which we are). This has been our best summer yet.
My children are 16 and 15. Time really gets away from us, probably not many more years that they will want to go with mom and dad anywhere.
I have your blog posted on mine so anyone who visits me can link to yours.
I am sure going to miss Lauren this year. She is so funny.

This summer has been my favorite summer. I think I have just taken the time to not kill myself and not sweat the little or the big things. I have enjoyed spending Sunday afternoons at the lake, watching my youngest daughter, Leah, play ball at Midway and I have enjoyed cooking home-cooked meals that I don't get to do much when school starts back. I have also enjoyed spending time with my oldest daughter, Lauren. She has been home this summer from college and not working. Plus I have really enjoyed spending time with her and her boyfriend, Scott. I haven't played board games in years and we have had a ball staying up late and seeing who is going to win!!
I saw this on Simply Joy Catering Blog! Hope I win!
Summer is a wonderful time, and I honestly have to say, I can't list just one! From summers of long ago, spending time at Grannyma's house with Alison & Jennifer-playing "beautyshop" or "office" & "school", high-school summers with friends-going to the lake, concerts, parties, and riding the "strip", now spending time with my boys is what's the best! Keeping the highway hot-driving Carter to therapy-because I know my wish will come true:) Watching Salem make homemade ice-cream-(he thinks he's BobbyFlay!ha), Everyday is special, especially when you spend it with family and friends you love:)
I hope I win--you know I'm obsessed with contest:) I love all 3, but am especially fond of the orange one!!!
Love to you and yours this summer:)

Well I hope I win!!!
My favorite summer was the summer of 2006. My mom coached my fast pitch team. We were called Kuikahi. (in japanese that means "Strike As One") We practiced all the time! We had so much fun! We won the season and mom rented us a huge limo for winning! I loved that summer because I got to spend so much time with my mom!

January 18,2008 our 4 year old boy was diagnosed with neuroblastoma cancer stage 4.Since then we have been fighting this very evil disease.
11 days ago Andy received a stem cell transplant to help save his life.2 days ago,my family was suppose to go to the beach for 2 weeks.Instead,2 days ago we got the news that the stem cells are working,and our son probably has normal bone marrow for the 1st time in a very long time.
Our family will not see very much sunshine this summer,nor we will we see a pool or a beach.We will see Vanderbilt Children's hospital and the Ronald McDonald house.
But,what we have seen this summer is the awesome love of God and of our friends and neighbors.We have even seen support and love from people that we do not even know.
This summer we have finished chemo,we grow bone marrow and we take 12 rounds of radiation.It is the best summer that my family has ever had because our son Andy is alive!!!!!!!!

Thanks for doing this, and I am putting a post about this on my blog.
My best summer was last year. It was great because it was my first summer as a mom. It was so much fun getting to do all the different fun things with Connor. His first trip to the pool, the lake, and his 1st Fourth of July. Last summer was also special to me because the exchange students we had in high school came and stayed with us for most of the summer. It was a time I will never forget and I made memories that will last a lifetime.
Hope everyone is having a great summer with their families.
Love,
Kirby
