I forgot to mention that the season is too short @Titian06.

7/15 Favorite beach read would probably be scrolling through my phone.

7/16 My least favorite thing about summer is the oppressive humidity. It’s making me feel tired all of the time. Otherwise I really look forward to summer.

[peculiarzmakeup]

I can so relate to reads being scrolling I love that I do tend to read a lot more when I’m scrolling versus a book. Neat thought @Loretta55 

[CynthieLu]

Humidity is rough @Loretta55 especially when it hits extremes. 

[CorgiMommy]

@Loretta55 I hate the humidity too, I am glad that I moved to a dry climate.

7/16 least favorite thing about summer

Bugs especially the mosquitos

Being cold from too much air conditioning.   True story, I was driving home and had the dogs with me.  It was 100°F out and the traffic was backed up.  I had the a/c cranked up and because I was freezing I had the steering wheel heater on and the seat warmer on.

[peculiarzmakeup]

It’s always tough in the car with the A/C that is so relatable @CorgiMommy  ❤️

[CorgiMommy]

@peculiarzmakeup my spouse was laughing at me

[peculiarzmakeup]

I think the system you had in place was brilliant I hope it got to the right temp! 🙂 @CorgiMommy  

car air conditioning is a little silly sometimes especially the seat warmers those grow me off haha 🤣 

[Titian06]

That's OK, @CorgiMommy !  I drive with the a/c on and windows open. 😄

[CorgiMommy]

@Titian06 I would open the windows but the air quality was poor thar day.

[Loretta55]

Mosquitoes are definitely a nuisance @CorgiMommy. I am always cold around my house and I live in my Lanz flannel nightgown year round.

[CorgiMommy]

@Loretta55 that is great, I have a sweater on all the time

[Titian06]

7/15: Best beach reads?  I wouldn't know a "beach read" if the waves washed it up over my feet! 🌊📚  I love Agatha Christie, especially Hercule Poirot--I've read all of them.  They're easy, fast, and entertaining reads.

[CorgiMommy]

@Titian06 her books are awesome, lots of twists you don't see

[CorgiMommy]

7/15 Best Beach Read?

I loved "The Gateway Girls", fun story 

[CatsLoveCake]

7/15 I recommend The Witch of Blackbird Pond which is a chilling, yet somber classic to help you kick off your summer reading

[CorgiMommy]

Spoiler

@CatsLoveCake thanks i am looking for a new book

[PrettyPaint]

Fav summer drink would have to be iced coffee. 

[CynthieLu]

Ooh good choice @PrettyPaint 😀 Iced coffee is yummy! 

[heartsmyface]

Hmmmmm, favourite summer drink….. iced sparkling lemon water is my go to.  Or iced Jasmine tea.
