I’ve sat down 3 different times today to write a serious, inspiring blog entry – that you can learn more about the entrepreneurial side of me. However, I keep getting sidetracked.
It’s summer and I keep imagining what you’re all doing for fun. Where are YOU going/have gone on vacation? How are YOU taking advantage of the beautiful summer weather? Please comment – I want to hear about YOU!!
Warning – no negativity allowed – only positive thoughts. He he…if you live in the deep south of the USA where it is 105F – please don’t think us Canadians are feeling sorry for you ;) Just joking – most of us would trade locations with you any day. If you don’t have vacation time OR your checking account isn’t overflowing with spending money – tell us about the daycations & staycations you’re enjoying. I know you’re creative and making the most of any opportunity life is providing you. Tanning on your deck, golfing, hanging out friends, whatever!
On the weekend – John & I had a fun date after church. We had a bit of time before going to watch a friend’s son play soccer. John was craving a taco and the only tex-mex fast food place was on the other end of town. SO we settled for the Original Joe’s patio for nachos! You might think we sound like an oxymoron – Christians enjoying a cocktail on a Sunday after church. However, we just like to have fun socially and enjoy taking advantage of our couple months of nice weather. Who am I kidding, trying to defend being Canadian ;)
When our cold drinks came out – we giggled. Depending on the day or our mood – John and I could easily interchange our beverages – just like a lot of things. Did you know that John & I don’t have particular sides of the bed we sleep on? Or one more common, we don’t have assigned seating at our table.
This time – which drink do you think is mine & which one is John’s?
Don’t forget – I would LOVE to hear about the highlights of your summer thus far please!! Comment away… even those of you that are virgins at making on comments on this blog – but are so amazing at visiting and revisiting my blog. Thank you for your support. I’d really love to read your comment…
Robyn, You crack me up! I sat at my desk most of the day thinking about what I could write that would inspirational as well! I came up with a joke! Love it!!
I’m glad you and John are enjoying your summer! Can’t wait to meet up with you guys again for another great visit!!
I have been enjoying my summer of Cattle Shows, Weddings, and Family events!! See you soon!
I totally would have picked your summer drink on Sunday to be beer (a girl after my own heart)lol.
This summer has been an exciting transition for me with the growth in my business and my new place. I invested in new patio set and love being able to sit out there and tan while I’m working!! I call it my office furniture!! I am enjoying time with the family, my new neice and looking forward to a weekend away at the cabin this weekend!! Having fun getting in touch with my spontaneous side!!! Hope to see you soon Robyn!!
LOVE your top! So cute!
I have had so many amazing getaways this summer! I’ve been truly fortunate.
Started off with a long weekend in Washington DC where my cousin toured me through the city sites, and then we spent a day at George Washington’s Mount Vernon Estate. What a phenomenal part of the world!
At the end of June I had the pleasure of spending a wonderful evening with you and John — it was so great to see you!
Then I enjoyed a couple of days at the World Angus Forum, hosted at Spruce Meadows, visiting with clients, friends, exhibitors and international guests.
The Ag Media Summit was in Fort Worth the first five days of August — a great time to reconnect with old friends, meet new people, learn tips to make my business more successful and take advantage of some great Texas food and shopping!
From there I went directly to Manitoba to visit my preggo cousin and her hubby, and also attend the Canadian Limousin meetings and Junior Conference.
Now I am home and looking forward to catching up with you and the other ladies next Monday at the CWFC tournament!
Hey Robyn!! I must say I have been truly enjoying your blog entries all summer long – I look forward to checking your blog for all sorts of laughs and inspiration!
Our summer has been completely packed…mostly with weddings! The summer started out perfectly in June when I got to be my best friend’s Maid of Honor – it was such a fun-packed weekend! Then one day after that wedding, my Mom and I headed down to Iowa and Kansas for 5 days! While down there, I took my re-certification test for my ultrasounding business and then headed to Kansas to spend some time touring and visiting with an ultrasound girlfriend who ranches in Kansas!
And since then, we have been attending friend’s weddings almost every weekend – they have been a blast and absolutely wonderful! What can I say, I love weddings and I sometimes get very emotional when I see the bride walking down the aisle – so much happiness and excitement in their expressions. Then my next favorite thing to do it look up the aisle at the groom and catch his expression – quite often I see tears of overwhelming joy and that usually ends up in me being in tears! I’m a sucker, I know!
Damien and I also had a chance to camp down at Lake Metigoshe that sits right on the Canadian/US border and it was my first time there – it was beautiful! Damien has friends that are twin brothers and their family has a cabin down there, so it was a fun-filled weekend of hanging with friends and boating – totally secluded and away from the “everyday” life! That same weekend we took in the National Junior Limousin show and I had the chance to visit with the wonderful Laura :)
Oh and I can’t forget about August Long – I headed up to Neepawa, MB for an All-Breeds Junior cattle show to help out as a ring-person – I love being able to give back to breed associations & 4-H by helping juniors!
Next up this weekend……AC/DC!! Woohoo!
