Sum Sum Summertime - It's finally HERE!!!!

It's the time of year women either hate or love bathing suits - they get reintroduced into our lives, along with weight issues, pale complexions, flip-flops or sandals and a host of other time honored rituals. It's all good and time consuming but well worth it! Summer brings watermelons, strawberries, peaches and plums into season - ahhhh the fruit and all it's beautiful colors! And last but not least summer vacation - where should we go? I know.... let's head to the beach!! We live in New Jersey, so it's a given - Long Beach Island is the place to be! Best time of the year - in my opinion!!



Summertime!! The rain has been over loading us here in NJ but we are ready for Mr. Sun to shine down on us! This time of year, kids are happy, school is over, swimming is in, pools are open, heat sets in, humidity visits and frizz is the new doo. Time to head to the beach, sit in traffic for an hour each way, fight off biting flies, jellyfish stings and rogue beach ball attacks, once you're at the beach, deal with crabby kids and strangers and finally face the painful "color" acquired cause we didn't think we'd burn this time.

The shore does offer the promise of ... the soothing sounds of the ocean, the familiar seagulls squawking, the smell of the saltwater and coconut suntan lotion is in the air, basking in the sun on the beach. Spending a memory with friends and family, spending money on good fun, just knowing it's gonna be a good day, the problems of the world can wait and for a while life is good. Maybe Summer comes along just in time each year. The fourth of July, Patriotic picnics will be here before we know it! So let's all beach out and leave our worries behind!! =]
