Great list! I wish I could bake cookies in the summer … but since I can’t stand the heat, I stay out of the kitchen.

Many lists are similar, we all know exactly how we can spend time without a TV it seems. And many of us have listed, talk to a friend, family member etc. Good point.
And I love your #10.

We haven’t had a TV for years and years so your list sounds like our normal life. Add in swimming laps at the municipal pool, having supper with friends, picnics at the beach, and my not-so-favorite-but-good-for-us activity of walking a few miles of laps in the neighborhood with DH (he uses hand weights) late at night before we turn in. Games? Backgammon, chess, and UNO.

Great list, Carole. I sometimes find myself keeping the tv on as background noise. When I realize it, I turn it off, but I could stand to pay closer attention because I do so love some quiet time!

Lots of overlap here — but I’m kicking myself for forgetting the games and the camera.

Heheheh, I’m smiling at Jill’s comment… I just took that “real age” quiz last night and really need to focus more on strength training and flexibility… and thinking that all of those things COULD be incorporated, with a little effort (or maybe not), into #10 as exercise.

Great list, Carole!! It’s all a balancing act, isn’t it?

Your list is very comprehensive. And while #10 is exercise, I’d add a more formal exercise to the list. I’m in my mid-forties and have neglected strength training for years. Big mistake. Summer is a great time to squeeze in a little weight training into the knitting, gardening, playing with the man activity line-up.
