The Blog-o-Sphere Think Tank topic for August is…(drumroll please)… “My Favorite Things About Summer”
If you have been following my BOSTT posts and have clicked through the links at the bottom of each post to read my fellow BOSTT Bloggers’ posts (and I really hope you have), then you know that it is rare that we have a single favorite anything! 😉
First and foremost – Summer means all of the great outdoor activities are added to the schedule.

Now being a California Girl, the fabulous things like flowers and weather are pretty much year round (I hear the “haters” groaning now) so I am thinking Activities. By know you “get” that there are so many things that we do all year round (too much?) that most would think of as “Summer” activities, but I am doing my best to only post the things that actually happen during the summer months.
Now, for the sake of space, I present my Top Five Favorite Things About Summer”!
My #1 Favorite Thing about Summer is Camping and Fishing trips with my partner, my favorite fisherman and the love of my life!
#2 would have to be those fabulous photos of kids playing in the sun! …these happen to be just one of Bobby’s gorgeous daughters (he has three) and amazing grandbabies (there are four, so far)!

| I chose this photo to represent our Rockhunting Trips because I LOVE staying in the TeePee at the Spectrum Mine in the high desert of Oregon. You will get your best night sleep after a day of digging for gemstones! |
#3 – Summer means time for Rockhounding Adventures at some of our favorite spots! Tourmaline at – the Himalaya Dig (CA) and the Oceanview (CA) also Spodumene; Virgin Valley Opal at – Rainbow Ridge (NV) and The Royal Peacock (NV); Sunstone at The Spectrum Sunstone Mine (OR)…and this year we are adding Fire Opal at Juniper Ridge (OR)!
#4 – Gem Shows move outside! nothing better than viewing gems and specimen under natural light! …this photo is from the AFMS/CFMS Convention and Show, hosted by the North Orange County Gem & Mineral Society!
#5 – the BEST West Coast opportunity to connect with International Gem Dealers, Artisans , Luxury Lines and Jewelers – Jewelry Week in Las Vegas! if you want to see more photos from Las Vegas check out the photo albums on The Daily Jewel’s Facebook page!
