I remember chasing fireflies many nights in Indiana as a kid. My sons have never had the joy of seeing one. I understand #10, but I'm trying to give it a little more weight on the "best" list. Trying...

[Nance]

Best: 1. Being a teacher=Off the whole summer. 2. My herb garden 3. NO SNOW!
Worst: 1. Humidity 2. Open Windows=Noise of Yappy Dogs in neighborhood 3. Being invited to Outdoor Eating Events

BEST: Chance to travel. (Money and work permitting, but hey...)

WORST: Texas heat. (Basically not wanting to leave the house between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m.)

[Slow Panic]

i have to say. i think you pretty much covered everything.

Best: The smell of dinner on the barbecue, fresh corn, peach juice dripping down my chin (can you tell I'm hungry?), water-gun fights, the smell of freshly mowed grass, splashing in the swimming pool with the boys, staying up late, an afternoon rain making the ground all steamy and giving us a perfect excuse to stay indoors. Worst: The Bugs. The Heat.

I'm gonna have to move fresh tomatoes to the top as number one. We just ate our first ones from our garden, and YUM. I also love the smell of sun block.
