The Lazy Days of Summer

Yeah right! That expression must have come from a kid. Oh to have the whole summer off...... what a dream. Actually, I hope to be very busy this summer. Not just with chauffeuring my kids everywhere in the world and coming up with fun new things to do with them, but also with my shop. Business is picking up and I have my fingers crossed that it will continue in that direction!



One of the best things about our summers is my husband's family reunion. This crazy concoction happens every year in various places. This year it is happening in Cocoa Beach, which is conveniently close to my home. Yay! No 2 day road trips this year! This is the first year we've gathered at the beach, which is both great and tragic at the same time. SWIMSUIT, AGH!!!! Last year I was awarded the great honor of the "medal". OK - so here's the short version - Once upon a time it was the son-in-law award, eventually it went to the only son, then it was handed down to my generation. The QUEEN Grandma is in her 80's now and she needs help from time to time, so the award is supposed to go to the ones who tend to help. I really don't know how it came to be that I received this medal, but now I must hand it off to someone else. It is a very hard decision. Most of the family does not live near the QUEEN, so how can they help? I have no idea who I will choose, what I do know is that my presentation has to be completely hilarious. I have pics of me serving the QUEEN her meals, and so on.... all staged of course. I would LOVE some suggestions on the presentation of this!!! Give me all your funny stuff!!! Oh, and have a great summer!!!!!
