Just for fun Friday
Ok, last time was too hard and no one answered so here are some fun summer questions
1. What is your favorite vacation spot?
2. What is your favorite means of travel?
3. What is your favorite article of clothing? Has it changed since surgery?
4. What are your plans for Father's Day?
Me first
1. My favorite vacation spot is Blowing Rock, NC. I camp there with a pony and a bunch of friends every year for about a week around the 4th of July. We do huge communal meals at night and sit around talking horses and everything else. During the day, we ride and drive the trails of the Moses Cone park.
Next favorite would be a lake. I don't particularly like beaches but a sand bottom lake is pretty wonderful.
2. My ponies of course. Long distances, car unless it is really long then flying. We did an RV trip a few years ago and it was fun.
3. Clothing changes with the seasons but right now I have a great pair of jean shorts that are knee lenght. Got them at goodwill and they are so soft and comfortable I would wear them here every day. When I was losing, I wanted to be sure things were snug enough to show off my new figure. I don't care anymore. I know I look good no matter what shape the clothes are. I like a lot of my dressier stuff for meetings and away from home clothes but none of it is favorite.
4. DS will be home for the weekend and I'm sure the guys will play golf. I got ribs to do for Sat night since that is when everyone will be here and DH's favorite food. Got him 4 new golf shirts yesterday at the Dillards outlet for $40. I love that place.

1. What is your favorite vacation spot? My favorite spot WAS our mtn house in Cedar Mtn, NC...but it was sold years ago and now I just have my memories of the place. But my favorite location to vacation is in the mtns. I'm not a beach person.
2. What is your favorite means of travel? By train, car is my second option, flying is way down the list. Never went on a cruise so no opinion on that one.
3. What is your favorite article of clothing? Has it changed since surgery? My favorite clothing in the summer is a pair of shorts and my bacon tshirt...and yes, it HAS changed since surgery.
4. What are your plans for Father's Day? Going to visit my daddy (will be in your neck of the woods, Price). Heading over tomorrow and coming back on Monday.
Good questions.

Price, Blowing Rock is a beautiful area--I really miss NC mountains.
1) My favorite vacation spot that I've been to is the Bahamas. I'm trying to get a vacation together sometime in the next year for another tropical spot.
2) My favorite means of travel is by car if the destination is close enough. I find that travel by air is so much more stressful.
3) My favorite clothing is a cute summer top I got at Kohl's last year. It has a fun stripe on it and a crochet back. It shows my shoulders, and it's something I would never have worn before WLS.
4) No special plans for Fathers' Day. I miss my Dad, and my FIL is deceased also. Its a sad day for me.

1. What is your favorite vacation spot -
My favorite spots are in the mountains. I love Glacier National Park (the pic in my avitar). One of my big accomplishments in Glacier was to climb to the top of the mountain in this photo as a morbidly obese individual. I'd go 100 steps, then rest, but I got to the top, and it was worth it!!. I also love Colorado (where I grew up), New Zealand, the European Alps (everyone is so friendly there). I'd love to go to Alaska sometime.
2. What is your favorite means of travel
I sailed across the Atlantic ocean on a 100ft schooner as a teenager, and loved every minute of it. Too bad DH cannot go on boats because of severe sea sickness. I haven't sailed since I started dating him.
3. What is your favorite article of clothing, and has it changed since surgery.
I love fleece vests. I don't wear them in the summer, but I do for the other 3 seasons. I loved them before surgery, and still love them, so I needed to get some much smaller ones post-surgery.
4. What are your plans for Father's Day.
My father died about 4 years ago, and the kids are scattered. It will be a quiet Father's day.

Hi guys!!!!
1. The beach!! Any beach. Heading across NC right now.
2. Car is fine today -- no traffic jams to speak of.
3. A pair of Eddie Bauer salmon color shorts -- a Goodwill find, too! And so comfy. They hit right above my knee. I never thought I'd find a top to match but didn't care. Then I went yo Kobls and they had a Vera Wang watercolor print top that was perfect. It's my wardrobe.
4. DH said he'd like a steak for lunch. So we'll do that after the beach. Then we'll hv a second fathers day celebration w my dad when we return.

1. What is your favorite vacation spot? Panama City Beach Florida and I hear it calling my name on a daily basis - but probably won't get to go this year because we are saving for our Disney trip in November. If we can find somewhere really cheap, we might try to swing a trip.
2. What is your favorite means of travel? Car or Truck - I've never flown and probably won't unless I have to. I love to camp and hope to get a camper and do alot of that when I retire.
3. What is your favorite article of clothing? Has it changed since surgery? It has most definently changed. I love a pair of old jogging shorts with a t shirt and sports bra - very comfortable. Like Price, I used to wear tighter things to show off my smaller body, but I'm all over that and am going for comfort now!!
4. What are your plans for Father's Day? Our kids, their families and DH's brother's families are coming to our house for lunch. I'm cooking. After lunch DD, DGD#2 and I are heading 4 hours north to my parents house to stay until Wednesday afternoon. It is our annual girls trip and we always have a ball. So I will get to see my dad this year on Father's day. I can't wait!!

1. What is your favorite vacation spot? I have fond memories of Blowing Rock. We went there many times when I was a kid and I remember looking at my mom and dad's honeymoon pictures from Blowing Rock and Little Switzerland. I still like the Smokey Mountains but really like the South Carolina beaches too. Hard to decide. Wonderful memories of touring South Dakota and the mountains around Salt Lake City....
2. What is your favorite means of travel? My 1978 MGB.
3. What is your favorite article of clothing? Has it changed since surgery? My skinny jeans and I never owned skinny jeans before. I had really tailored fatigues when I was going through OCS but I guess that doesn't count. lol
4. What are your plans for Father's Day? Taking DH to a seafood place Sat and he's going to play golf Sun. I need to get his card and gift tomorrow morning. May end up with another gift certificate to the local golf shop.
