Getting ready for summer!

It's time to think about picnics at the park, relaxing by a pool, beach or in an air conditioned area. Planning summer vacations, fairs & festivals. Lots of great things to do; check out new grilling recipes, cocktails & mocktails and delicious deserts. Maybe it's time to add a new pair of bermuda shorts or capri's from a.n. designs to your wardrobe for summer (subtle, right?)

We Did It!

We made it through Memorial Day weekend, National Donut Day and the start of graduations. Although the calendar hasn't officially said summer yet, we think we are off to a good start. 

Our thoughts and prayers are out there for those with crazy weather at their doors and those with wicked fires coming at their back yards.

Remembrance, tribute and honor

Memorial Day unofficially marks the beginning of summer. Although we are thankful and grateful every day, the third Monday in May is the official day to remember, pay tribute and honor our fallen soldiers who gave their lives to protect our county. Celebrate with family & friends and enjoy the following quotes.

"Ask not what you can do for your country, ask what you can do for your country."   -John F. Kennedy

"On Memorial Day, I don't want to only remember the combatants. There were also those who came out of the trenches as writers and poets, who started preaching peace, men and women who have made this world a kinder place to live."  -Eric Burdon

"And I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free. And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me."  -Lee Greenwood
