YOU KNOW IT'S SUMMER WHEN------




You KNOW it's summer when you loop by the Sonic on an INTENSELY hot summer afternoon during "Happy Hour". Now "Happy Hour" might mean something totally different in some quarters----but in the DEEP South this is the time period you can get DELICIOUS COLD drinks at the Sonic for HALF Price. So today after a visit to the NH----I was truly inspired on my way home when I saw that Sonic sign. A SLIGHT detour and a LARGE lemonade later----I head home. Summer fun and for a meager $1.09!
After getting home, I had a Personal size watermelon chilling in the frig for my personal consumption. YUMMY! BC doesn't like watermelon---WHAT IN THE WORLD IS WRONG WITH HIM! I love it and these small melons are perfect. There's NOTHING in the WORLD better than a Saline Melon---well except for the one that friend, Sonja pulled from her own garden and shared with me. It ALMOST makes Summer bearable!
Quote of the day----They were having a little concert at the NH today, so we didn't do any activities. BLESS those that give of their time to help entertain the residents! This guy was great! When we went back to the room, I asked Nannie and Pappaw if they would help me shell peas when I get a mess from a "Farmer Friend". Papppaw quickly agreed. Nannie though---she's not too happy with having to go to physical therapy every day---she says---
"Well I don't know if we'll have time with all this riding the bike and therapy!"
I cracked up which made her laugh too. Love to hear that laugh!

Yeah...who doesn't like watermelon!? Crazy! Although come to think about it the only watermelon I have had this summer was pitiful...I might learn to dislike it if I get another dud!
