Congratulations, Nikki!

She wrote that, before summer slips away, she’s definitely going to “continue to try new ice cream flavors.”

Nikki, I like how you think.

Thanks to everyone who entered the giveaway! I loved reading about your summer plans.

Laura and Eileen are having babies. Lindsay’s learning how to ice a cupcake. Akane is going to Madrid, and Nora’s going to Italy. Vicki will get her motorcycle license. Avery and Taylor are going to baseball games. Meredith’s finishing “Twilight.” Maggie’s learning how to drive a stick. Julie’s moving to London. Erin’s babyproofing the house. Sabrina’s hosting a barbecue.

Jessica’s going to swim for the first time since her ankle fusion surgery. Amber’s finishing some of her thesis work. Sara’s going to hang those shelves she bought at the flea market.

There will be cycling, camping, kayaking, parasailing, picnicking and napping. Road trips. Wedding planning. Baby planning. House projects. Craft projects. Organizational projects. Shakespeare in the Park. Outdoor movie nights.

Here are the Top 5 Things Everyone’s Planning To Do This Summer, according to your comments:

1. Go to the beach.
2. Eat as much fresh produce as humanly possible.
3. Make ice cream.
4. Tie: Make jams and preserves. AND drink something cold and delicious.
5. Tie: Make pie. AND read.

A summer full of cold drinks, pie and ice cream, canning, reading and trips to the beach?

Oh, yeah. We should all totally hang out.
