Normally, I'm not a summertime person, but I have to say I'm kind of in a groove right now.
I'm eating lots of ripe watermelon...
Swimming all the time. And I just got this all-natural sunscreen from L'Occitane that I recommend. Supposedly from Brazil, it's got a pretty good scent, and works well.
Lucky loves to swim,
but our new dog, Friday, dreads it.
He's really not an outdoorsy dog. He likes the A/C. (Kind of like me.)
I'm slowly trying to get him swimming, and hope he eventually changes his mind. At this point, I have to track him down to "invite" him for a swim.
Friday says, "Noooooooo!"Yesterday, I got the new Saveur issue, which features various road trips and road-trip food, including a string of Texas margarita hits. Upon the mag's advice, I made a margarita following this recipe:
4 ounces Herradura Silver tequila
1.5 ounces fresh lime juice
1 ounce Cointreau
Whoa!
That is one smooth margarita.
I was floating on the blue water, looking up at the blue sky, and thinking good thoughts about humanity after a few sips of this.
Meanwhile, I've got one heck of a stack on my To-Read shelf, and it's my goal to crack into these.
So wish me luck, and I wish you a very nice summer!

WOW! That's a huge reading pile to get through :-)
Your Summer sounds like it's off to a flying start! I wish you a great Summer too!

Oh my God, that is one HUGE stack of books. If you can get through those by the end of the summer, I will be beyond impressed! :)
Where's the Sex in the City post??
Mmm, this post is loaded with summer! I love your glasses and that "vase" (yes, I know it´s not a vase, but it´s the closest I can come and I don´t have a dictionary here :D)
And that stack IS huge, but I am also a bit envious of you having all that to look forward to :)
Have a very nice summer :)
I'm so envious of the temperature and the pool, and the cocktail!
Have a fantastic summer, Lisa! I'm sure you'll find the time to read at least some of these books!
'I Capture the Castle' is one of my favourite EVER books!!! I hope you love it. It's one of my mum's favourites too. We've both read it many times. Try to see the film too if you can - one of those rare films that actually does justice to the original book.
Great pictures too! :-)
I can just smell Summer time :)
Good luck with your huge mountain of books!
Hey, I thought I left a comment here already! You'll have a great summer - but I hope it doesn't mean you'll be on blog-hiatus. That's a deadly margarita - I think Norm makes them like that too!
Let us know if Friday eventually makes friends with the water.
Cheers Lisa.
