The First Day of Summer

What is today?  THE FIRST DAY OF SUMMER. For us on the western side of the Rocky Mountains, it will happen at 10:16 a.m. What will you be doing to celebrate summer's beginning? Have a little party. I was talking to Baby in the Hansen household last night and suggested he have a party with his in-town Grandma. I hope they have fun. Wish I could be with them. Some things for you to do:  eat watermelon, indulge in some wonderful ice cream, sit in a lawn chair while your kids run through the sprinkler, go to the library and read the afternoon away, go to McDonald's for an ice cream cone, and top off the first day of summer with a movie at the drive-in. Most won't be going to the drive-in, but the rest is all fair-game. What will the Nevada McLean's be doing: reading, computer work, having hot dogs for dinner, eating watermelon and strawberries and going to Mickie D's or maybe having Dad make a run for real ice cream or skinny cows. What a fun day to celebrate.  HAVE FUN.

It was a hot & humid summer day when the Hansen's arrived in Indiana. Ice
cream was the only solution - and they really enjoyed it

Happiness is an ice cream cone. Sadness is knowing it is almost gone!

Ice cream with a favorite cousin is the best - especially in Colorado!
