If you didn’t do a post for them, you can also answer in the comment section. Thank you to all who participate. Don’t forget to add your link to the hop so everyone can visit you.

1. The best part of the summer is _______________.
2. I can’t believe that I ever ___________________.
3. I would happily _________ every single day.
4. I could use a break from _________.
My answers:
1. The best part of the summer is getting to spend more time with The Great One, Typhoid Mary and The Boy.
2. I can’t believe that I ever slathered myself in baby oil and sunbathed. Now my hubby calls me Drac because I avoid the sun.
3. I would happily spend hours with cats every single day. And I do. 🙂
4. I could use a break from hearing bad news. I try to avoid watching the news, but my hubby watches it so I end up hearing a lot of it.
We are joining Feline Friday now hosted by Messymimi.
My flashback is from July 2021, Angel Emmy was checking out my book sale finds. Every year, there is a fairly big book sale in Amherst (Emily Dickinson’s hometown). It starts today and I will be there.

I used to go to a lot of old book sales, and sometimes the books were even freebies! Emmie looks like she wanted you to read them to her.
1. The best part of the summer is When the temps are below 80F.
2. I can’t believe that I ever had a ride in a glider airplane over Groesbeek (War memorial cemetery for Canadians),in the Netherlands.
3. I would happily eat chocolate every single day. (Tee-Hee)
4. I could use a break from all this awful hot and humid weather…and the thunderstorms we had tonight…over 2 inches of rain in about an hour!
Another great week of fill ins. We had similar ones for #3. I agree with #4. I try to stay away from the news but I always find things out. Great flashback pic.
Total agreement on question #3! Cute flashback picture of Angel Emmy. Book sales in Emily Dickinson’s town 😎 cool! XO
Oh yes mama remembers those baby oil days and hss too many unwanted wrinkles where she could have had NONE!!! Dumb youth. Her mama warned her, too….do we listen to our mamas?
You and Angel Emmy had lots of good books. I’m like you about trying not to get too much suntan or sunburn anymore at my age. What we did is teenagers was kind of crazy.
That’s a sweet pic of Angel, Emmy. 😻
The best part of summer is dreaming of autumn
I can’t believe I ever rode in a blimp
I would be happy if there was world peace
I could use a break from the hot weather
Mom did the baby oil thing too. Great fill-ins and sweet flashback.
Great fill ins ~ agree with not watching the news ~ so negative ~ so I just read it and not feeling the negative energy coming off the TV ~ enuff ~ hugs,

Have fun at the book sale!
Charlee: “Our Dada avoids the sun too! In fact when he and Mama decided to move to California his friends back East were like, ‘Why are you moving to California? You hate sunlight.'”
Java Bean: “Ayyy, obviously they moved out here so they could adopt all of us!”
#2 and #4… ditto. Ellen, you are so lucky to have family close. I know you already know that.
My Fill-Ins~
1. The best part of the summer is when it is over.
2. I can’t believe that I ever ate tuna out of a can. Ewww. White Albacore tuna isn’t as good as it used to be.
3. I would happily go to the Oshkosh 2025 fly-in convention going on right now.
4. I could use a break from the crows that are roosting in the Preserve which is our backyard. They have a lot to say.
Hugs to the Peeps and scritches and tummy tickles to the Meowing Crew.
I forgot Angel Emmy… how could I have done that? Angel Emmy♥
I love the book If You Give a Mouse a Cookie! The illustrations♥ Angel Emmy was smart to check out those books 🙂
1. The best part of the summer is daylight. Love the long days of light.
2. I can’t believe that I ever lived without kitties. They bring us such joy.
3. I would happily stay at home every single day. I hate having to go anywhere.
4. I could use a break from news and politicians. They are all full of ***t. I’m talking both sides of the aisle.
Thank you for co-hosting the Friendly Fill-Ins.
Have a fabulous day and weekend. Ellen. Scritches to the kitties and a big hug to you. ♥
Happy book hunting!
(The best part of summer is long mellow days with time to get lots of things done by daylight.
I can’t believe I ever thought staying up all night long was fun.
I would be happy if I had a lot of money. Some people think I’m annoyingly cheerful even without money, but I could be much happier if I had a million or so!
I could use a break from the last heat wave, and hurrah, we’re in the middle of one. I think it’s heading inland.)
I know what you mean about sunbathing. ~shakes head~ What a sweet angel posing with your finds. 🙂 Have fun at the sale!
Oh the things we didn’t know about the sun years ago. Especially my era. The only sunscreen I recall was coppertone and something called Banana boat that had a disgusting odor,
Just had my annual dermatology check up 2 weeks ago. She found a spot on my the right side of my face…she froze it. Caught very very very early
Hugs Cecilia
Best part of Summer is when it goes away!
I can’t believe that I would ever see a tax assessment and bill like the one that came yesterday. This must be the Tag Mahal. However it’s spelled.
I would happily exercise every single day!
I could use a break from housework.
OH no. Mine didn’t take. I clicked out too quickly! I did do the fill ins.

It does seem like we are surrounded by bad news these days. That’s why Mom loves the end story on the NBC Nightly News – it is always a good news feature:)
We wish the grands were little again here. We heard from our Angels how much fun it was when they were little and stayed here during the day while their parents worked. Now we have to wait for some great-grands, but that will take a good while.

Sorry I missed wishing you a Happy Birthday! I’ll give you good wishes now!
I remember those days of laying out in the sun with baby oil all over us. I never really tanned, just burned.
Best thing about summer is it’s not winter! And I could happily read every day, and I do!
Happy Friday and weekend <3
Those were really good answers!
Hope you had fun at the book sale! I avoid the sun too.
The summer with the kids would be fun.
Angel Emmy was a wonderful model and those are excellent books. Thank you for linking up with Feline Friday.
Oh yeah, I remember the days of laying in the sun, all babyoiled and grilling like meat on a barbeque.
It’s very difficult for me to NOT attend a book sale, even though I don’t want to buy anymore books; it’s a compulsion.
