1. June is right around the corner – what special occasions are on your calendar for this month? Birthdays, Weddings, Graduations, Etc. My nephew turns 40 on the 1st and my sister will be hosting a 40th birthday party for him. My BIL's birthday on 6/3, DH's younger sister's birthday 6/12, DH's birthday 6/23. No wedding yet, but things going on for that. The tasting at the reception hall is 6/28.

2. If you walked into a fine jewelry store and were told by the owner to pick out anything you wanted, totally on them, what do you think you would select? I'm not a huge jewelry person but a beautiful pair of earrings would be nice-preferably with a diamond involved!

3. Do you burn candles in the house during the summer time? I usually don't burn candles in the summer. Do you have any candles outside? Yes, the ones that are supposed to keep the bugs away!

4. Do you prefer to shop on-line or in person? For time saving measures I do more on line shopping. But I do enjoy shopping with the girls Are there any stores that you really hate going to? Anytime other than early Saturday AM Costco drives me nuts. I do hate the stores that feel like they have to blast ear deafening music!

5. Let’s have a roll call: First Name, Age, City & State, Family / Pets, Hobbies, Anything else you care to share. Susan, age 56, Long Island, NY, DH Paul married 33 years, DD's-ages 29 and 27, DS age 23 and our 13 year old beagle-Otto

Love the picture this morning Karen. I can picture all of us lined up in those chairs with a fruity umbrella drink being handed to us by the cabana boys before they go back to fanning us!

We'll miss you while you're gone!

I'm not a very frequent poster, but I do lurk on the board and like to do these Friday Fives sometimes, so here goes... :)

Unfortunately, the only event on the calendar is a sad one -- a family gathering on Father's Day to mark the one year anniversary of my father-in-law's passing. However, we're going to try and make a good time of it by having a wine tasting party and cookout in his honor, since he just loved sipping on a nice glass of wine as he manned the grill.



2. If you walked into a fine jewelry store and were told by the owner to pick out anything you wanted, totally on them, what do you think you would select?



I'd probably select a gorgeous watch, since it's something I'd likely wear every day.



3. Do you burn candles in the house during the summer time? Do you have any candles outside?



I love candles, but I never burn them at any time of year -- I am overly paranoid of setting fire to the house!



4. Do you prefer to shop on-line or in person? Are there any stores that you really hate going to?



I like to shop online if I know exactly what I want (e.g., a specific book title), but I always shop in person for clothes (I can't buy anything without trying it on first). If I had to pick a store I hate going into, I'd say the Kroger closest to my house -- it's poorly laid out, always crowded, and has a terrible parking lot. Unless I need something fast, I typically drive to the nicer Kroger that's a few miles farther away.



5. Let’s have a roll call: First Name, Age, City & State, Family / Pets, Hobbies, Anything else you care to share.



This is Julie, 48, from Royal Oak, Michigan. I live with my husband of three years and our crazy cat, Darwin. No kids, just a bunch of nieces and nephews. Among other things, I enjoy cooking, crossword puzzles, writing, gardening (in small doses), wine, baseball, football, walking, and camping (also in small doses). :)
