Well, we are FINALLY getting some sun in New Jersey and it's so nice to see everyone stopping in for their fourth of July cookout munchies! Our salsas and chips are flying out the door, along with our gourmet barbecue grilling sauces, and apparently everyone is in need of a few cocktails, as our Tea Forte' Cocktail Infusers are following right behind!
This is the weekend I always promise myself that I will take time to relax this summer and enjoy some quiet time for myself. Each year I have visions of stretching out on the chaise lounge out on my deck, under the umbrella, curled up with a good book and sipping a tall, ice cold glass of something ... never happens! It seems I always get caught up in the logistics of summertime ... running the kids around, washing pool towels, weekend cookouts and never-ending runs to the grocery store for ice cream, ice cream and more ice cream that I don't take the time to enjoy the simple pleasures of the summer.
I'm feeling confident, though, that this will be THE year. Our oldest daughter now has her driver's license (gulp) so she will be taking over the "fudge ripple runs," although she doesn't know it yet! Our second oldest daughter has proven her laundry skills when she had to do all her laundry in order to pack for a trip with her friends to Myrtle Beach (hhmm, funny how that works). And our youngest daughter has taken an interest in cooking and baking ... say it with me - ALLELUIAH!
Yes, this is definitely going to be the year.
Happy Summer!
