Enjoy all the summer has to offer, spend some time putting together a small party or a picnic, and make some memories. Pack some ice-cold lemonade!
I love the memory of making a big batch of my potato salad and pieces of fried chicken wrapped up for my Dad for Father’s Day with a big jug of lemonade. And for some reason, food always tastes so much better outdoors!
