Memorial weekend has past, which means, even more so than the official June 21st Summer Solstice on our calendars, it’s SUMMERTIME!

What does that mean exactly? I truly believe Summertime is the best time of year. I know, I know it’s hotter than heck most of the time, but all the various good aspects override that in my opinion…

Shorts, tanks, t-shirts, swimming suits & bikinis, tanning oil, warm summer nights, windows down in the car, sunroof slid open, cranking GREAT MUSIC (on 96.1FM KSTAR FOR SUREE while listening to Ratt’s song “Round and Round”, or Van Halen’s Summer Nights), taking the kids outside to play, the dog for a longer walk…the benefits are endless! Good food becomes great food, cold drinks are better than ever, outdoor BBQ’s with family and friends, bike rides, the monument, camping….I mean the list goes on and on!!

It’s time to put away the jackets, the scarves, the gloves, and the boots, and get ready to get the charcoal lit for some grillin’ and chillin’ and enjoy all that is great about SUMMERTIME!!
