Tag, I'm It!

I have been tagged by pendlestitches for a meme, based on creating lists of eight.

1. June 26th - the last day of work until September.
2. Going for long walks with Simon every morning this summer at the local park.
3. Sewing anytime the whim hits me during my summer vacation.
4. Sitting quietly and watching nature, all day long, on the chaise lounge in my backyard.
5. Going on weekly nature trail hikes with Simon and my hubby each weekend this summer.
6. Building our dream house on 4 acres of property that we bought a few years back.
7. Having my very own sewing room in said house.
