It's the First Day of Summer

Today is the first day of astronomical summer.  We hit the summer solstice here in the Midwest tonight at 11:24 PM.  I actually prefer going by meteorological seasons.  They're simpler.  Summer is always June 1 to August 31.  In general I'm not a big fan of summer.  Too hot, too noisy, too buggy.  And the sun coming up so early wakes me up.  "Hey you kids get off my lawn!"  Oh, yeah, and I hate having to mow the lawn.

I do like Summer Sanders and I don't think I've ever shared my collection of cards.

  1. Im no fan of summer either. Of course when it gets too hot it affects my breathing so I have good reason. I remember Summer Sanders from when she was co-host of NBA Inside Stuff. I surely saw her in the Olympics but didn't remember she was an Olympian at the time. I remember watching 1992 but I didn't become a super fan like I am now until 1996.

    1. I too remember her from NBA Inside Stuff, but I never knew she did anything of note, I had always assumed she was just some gal co-hosting an uninteresting television program.

  2. I confess I'm not familiar with Summer (the swimmer that is), but it's good to hear from you!

  3. I don't think I'm done yet. Just having trouble getting motivated lately (like for two years?) I have more ideas than energy/time. Thanks for keeping me on your feed or whatever.

  4. You have the A&G card of her (the one with her arms in the air)? I like that one.

    1. I'm actually not sure. It took me forever to find the three I did and they were together. Makes sense to pick one up though.

  5. Summer (season) sucks! We've been suffering triple digit weather for a week now. Love Summer Sanders though. I remember cheering her on with the family during the Olympics.

  6. Ah, this post was a fun trip down memory lane. I had a huge crush on Summer Sanders when I was a kid.

  7. Beautiful person and a very gifted athlete. Swimming is one thing I could never do well because I am not a floater. Tried once in the Caribbean and managed to sink there too. Great collection!!
