1. The sweetness of summer...where have you found it recently? If you're in the Southern hemisphere, feel free to tell us about the sweetness you're finding in winter.

Birds are chirping in the yard.  Watermelon, cherries, strawberries...the fruit is fresh and flavorful.  Late afternoon walks at the beach.  It's summer.

5. Share with us one of your favorite childhood travel memories.

We didn't do much traveling when I was a kid.  But when I was 10 we took a trip from our home on Long Island to upstate Lake George, NY.  We learned some history at Fort William Henry,   We took a boat ride on the lake.  We went to two different amusement parks.  And I saved my sister's life.

Seriously.  I was 10 and my sisters were 9, 3 and 3.  (Yes, twins.)  We were in the motel pool.  My mom was on a lounge chair, supervising. My dad had gone for a swim in the lake.  My mom wasn't much of a swimmer, so she told me and my 9 year old sister to stay in the shallow end of the pool,  She told the twins to stay on the pool steps.  Well, one of the twins didn't listen, and suddenly found herself in water that was over her head.  I had to rescue her.  I picked her up and put her out of the pool.

6. Insert your own random thought here.
