Relyn at Come Sit by My Fire is doing this:

“On the last day of each month I plan to post a list of things I learned paired [with] my own favorite photo from that month….  I hope you’ll play along.”

I’ve decided to play along this month.  Here’s my What I Learned In June list.

•  Hanging pictures is my kryptonite.  I use the 60″ rule as a guideline, but it doesn’t always hold true when working with an eclectic collection of art.  I love having artwork on the walls, but admit that the process of getting it there makes me cross-eyed and anxious.

•  Being stuck inside because of wet Summer weather is every bit as annoying as being stuck inside because of wet Spring weather.  You’d think that just because it was Summer, it’d be better;  but it’s not.  Stuck is stuck.  And I’m tired of it.  Where are my weeks of sunshine?

•  52 Acts is a project based on the idea that: “one small act of kindness can change a life forever.”  Cheri at Naples Girl Blog sent me a 52 Acts bracelet + booklet.  Cool, huh?  Now that I know about 52 Acts, I’m happy to be a part of it.  Thanks, Cheri.

•  When putting a casserole dish with a Pyrex glass lid on top of it into the microwave, it is easy to knock the lid off the casserole dish causing the lid to bounce off the granite counter and onto the kitchen floor.  This creates a five foot radius of broken glass and shards, leading me to ponder the wisdom of cooking in bare feet.

•  Planning a vacation seems like a good idea until you actually begin to price it.  Then visiting the local zoo, followed by an afternoon at a German brew house, suddenly sounds like a grand idea.  An adventure.  Something with the exotic elements of a vacation, but without the inconvenience and cost.
