GottaDEAL 2025 Prize Club Discussion Thread

Checking in for July from sunny Oahu! Our vacation is going wayyy too fast but we’re trying to enjoy every minute of it. Last year my best friend from high school and her husband were hoping to come here with us but that’s when her husband’s cancer returned. Unfortunately he passed away in April but we were able to talk her into joining us this year, sort of a bittersweet trip. This is a photo I took this morning while we were parasailing.

I've had too many friends lose someone they love the first half of this year (hubby for two of them, mom for one, grandma for another), so goodbye, first half of 2025. It's been a rough one. 

 

Got my buddy in town from Indiana this week. We're hitting The Henry Ford/Greenfield Village for Salute to America, Cedar Point for a couple days, Frankenmuth (because Frankenmuth) and she'll get a day of rest before I send her back home thoroughly exhausted and needing a vacation from her vacation. LOL (The cats are enjoying having an extra "staff member" around.)

 

In garden news, my lettuces (romaine and red/green leaf) have grown beautifully, my dill has created a forest and I am now in harvest mode on all those. Still to come are cucumbers (hopefully), celery, and brussels. Maybe this year I can finally make dill pickles using my own dang cukes. LOL 

 

Hope my GD fam is doing well as we enter these hot summer months.

I was back in town a couple weeks ago and wanted to do Frankenmuth but didn't get to. I want to go the next time I'm there. I really want to check out the new water park at Bavarian Inn.

Happy July!  New teachers start 2 weeks from tomorrow, which means that once I return next week, there will only be 7 work days before all the crazy starts!  

Students return 4 weeks from tomorrow.

I need to be super motivated and focused next week!

I hope everyone is doing well, and enjoying the summer!  My daughter has me going tent camping in Colorado this weekend, and hoping for success at first come campgrounds.  

Nice! Hope you get a site and have good weather ( kinda important in a tent )

Headed down the Chesapeake bay to camp for a few days next week. Weather forecast is Muggy

Hoping everyone has a happy and safe independence Day tomorrow!

 

My grands have gone to see several fireworks shows over the last week, so we will just be buying the little things they love like smoke bombs and poppers :).  I also got some reusable water balloons that they don't know about. I see a secret attack headed their way . I just hope the "balloons" live up to their hype.
