Hot Dogs and Coke

Posted by Dianne Christner - Christian Fiction Author on June 5, 2012 at 2:05 AM


Hotdogs and Coke


Jim looks forward to junk food--especially hot dogs--when I go out of town. I saw this cute thermometer while shopping in Leavenworth, Wa, a little Bavarian style town. It was the type of store my husband would enjoy. Antiquing is one of the things we do for fun.


This sister trip wasn't as jam-packed with sight seeing as most. We normally do at least one event to stretch ourselves. This time, we tweaked the tradition a bit. Decided to learn something new together.  We stayed inside our darling B&B guesthouse one morning and took up beading.



Making bracelets


We used the same pattern but chose different beads which made them similar but unique. This reminds me of a sister saying:


Sisters are different flowers from the same garden.

I'm on the left.


I returned home refreshed and full of inspiration. While we can't all get away, it helps to shake up our routine so that our lives don't get stagnant. How often do you dine on hotdogs and Coke?


What do you do for fun? What brings you and your household refreshment and inspiration? Any summer tips?

Dianne I love hotdogs!!! We have them twice a month. My Husband & I go to 3 different flea markets during the summer. We collect some antiques. I love spending time with my 6 Grandchildren. We also do mini trips on a bus out of Apple Holler. Enjoy the summer sun shine, plant flowers and a garden, have cookouts, and relax on a chaise lounge and read a good book.

Now that is a special treat..at least once during our summer cookouts, we indulge in eating a hotdog! We enjoy our cookouts in the summer, and invite friends over to join us. Sometimes, in Texas, it just gets too darned hot in the kitchen to cook, and my hubby helps out by cooking-out on the grill. Both my husband and I enjoy staying in the AC during the day, watching a good movie, reading or working on crafts(me). In the evening when it cools off, we enjoy a walk together, or go off to a bookstore, or stroll down the San Antonio Riverwalk.

Thanks for sharing, Janie. My daughter tells me the San Antonio Riverwalk is beautiful and fun. I hope to go there some time. Here in Phoenix, we share your summer sunshine!

I went online and Googled Apple Land Tours and also Apple Holler. WOW that looks like fun. Both the bus tours and also the activities at Apple Holler. I can see why you enjoy it. So if there's anyone else from Wisconsin, check it out too. You'll have to let us know how the Indiana tour goes in August. Washington DC will be great also. Thanks for sharing.

Not bad for the first thing I made, but the wire does show through a little bit. I just have to keep my hands busy so it doesn't show. Ha.
