Ah Friday finally! Joining in with the Friday Five crew for a quick and fun post. At the end of this busy week, it’s the perfect time for a “Currently” post.
Currently….
Celebrating…Today is my son’s High School graduation day. So incredibly proud of him and all he has accomplished in school and on the lacrosse field this season. Will be trying so hard not to cry too much today during the ceremony and our celebration. This picture is from the convocation Wednesday. Stay tuned for more.
Watching…A little late to the game but just started watching “The Affair” on Showtime. I am only a few episodes in but already hooked. Anyone else watching.
Planting…I am so not a green thumb at all but trying to grow my own tomatoes. Taking baby steps and starting off with a small potted plant. Little tomatoes are starting to flourish-stay tuned.
Reading…I’ve fallen off the reading habit the past few months as I’ve just been too tired at night. One of my running group friends wrote a fun mystery book and I plan to bring it away with me on my trip.
Loving…Sundress weather! While I don’t love running in the heat of summer, I love being able to throw on a comfy sundress. Easy and carefree. Just like the one I am wearing above.
Traveling…We are leaving on a graduation celebration trip with the extended family to Italy tomorrow. Stay tuned for details on my adventures. I plan on enjoying lots of pasta and gelato over the next week. 🙂
~Ciao!

Deborah Brooks says
Thanks so much! Yes the carefree sundress is the best
Judy @ Chocolaterunsjudy says
Oh yum! Have a fabulous trip! Absolutely enjoy the food, you’ll be burning off lots of calories touring anyway.
I love just throwing on a dress in summer, too. Except I seem to always be in skirt sports (which isn’t bad either).
I always do cherry and/or roma tomatoes. They’re a little easier & I actually prefer them. I’m a long way from picking one, though!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks really excited about our trip and the tomatoes!
Wendy says
Congrats to your son (and to you, mama!) What’s next for him? I love the dress you’re wearing in that photo. Along with waterproof mascara, I assume…
I haven’t heard of that show, but now that we’ve cut the cable, I’ll have to wait for it to come out on Netflix.
Have a wonderful trip!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks and yes I was glad that I had the waterproof mascara on. It is on Netflix!
Lesley says
Have fun in Italy! Can’t wait to read about where you went!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks I am sure I will have lots of food photos 🙂
Kimberly Hatting says

Karen says
Congrats to you and your son on graduation!! I’m the same on tomatoes-trying my hand at growing a plant again this year as last years plant didn’t go over so well..whoops!
Deborah Brooks says
I am not sure how they are going to come out!
Carrie A Groff says

I’d love to have my own little garden someday! <3! I'm glad the weather's finally warmer too–it's nice to not have to bundle up all the time anymore!
Congrats to your son!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks so much!
Rachel says

Congrats on your son’s graduation and Bon Voyage — or whatever the saying is in Italian. 😉

I have to figure out how to say it in Italian!!

Have a great trip and congrats to your son! I also love sundress weather. Your dress is so cute!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks so much on both!
Natalie says
Congrats to your son. You look amazing in that dress btw 😉 As for the affair, i totally got hooked on that one last summer. Season 1 and 2 were great. I didn’t watch S3 . It was too boring. You’re going to Italy?! Well that’s so exciting. Italy is beautiful. Make sure you visit Milano and Torino. And don’t forget to pack yourself with Grana Padano cheese 😉
Deborah Brooks says
OH I am packing myself with lots of cheese just hope it’s not too hard to “unpack” myself of it
Akaleistar says
Hooray for sundress weather and graduation!
Deborah Brooks says
Yes indeed thanks!
Kathryn @ Dancing to Running says
First of all, congrats to your entire family on your son’s graduation. My school was walking into Constitution Hall as your son’s school was walking out. There was definitely a lot of excitement downtown on Friday.
Secondly, I’m with you on sundress weather. Its one of the many reasons why summer is my favorite season of the year.
Deborah Brooks says
It was crazy down there at Const Hall! Thanks!
Denise says
We are watching the affair. It is good but irritating. I wanna shout “REALLY???” so many times!
Deborah Brooks says
I have not gotten to that point yet!
