DON’T LOOK NOW BUT JULY IS ENDING!

Good Morning Foodies!

I know SUMMER VACATION time for kids is closing in. Just venture down the aisles at WALMART, WALGREENS, ALL THE GROCERY STORES, ACADEMY, ETC., they are filled to the brim with BACK-TO-SCHOOL SUPPLIES and the endless selection of SCHOOL UNIFORMS! Nothing seems simple anymore!
One thing for sure, you still have time to do some of that fantastic BACKYARD GRILLING! We are blessed here in LOUISIANA and basically, in the SOUTH, that we can pretty much BBQ-all 12 months! If it is too cold, you just bundle up and throw it on the grill! Oh yes, LIFE IS GOOD!
We were at some friends’ home one afternoon for a BACKYARD GATHERING, recently, and they had a very humorous plaque on their wall near the grilling area. It went like this:
BBQ RULES:
-Be On TIME-Can’t Guarantee How Long It Will Last!
-Never Touch Another MAN’S GRILL!
-Where There Is SMOKE, There Is FOOD!
-SAUCE HAPPENS!
-It Is Acceptable To Eat With YOUR FINGERS!
-MOANING While EATING Is Considered A COMPLIMENT!
-CLEAN UP AFTER YOURSELF!

While you can, enjoy the last free, open days of summer before getting back to the drill of having schedules on top of schedules. Great advice from the OCEAN:
-Make Time to Coast
-Don’t Be Shellfish
-Roll With the Tide (I might have trouble with that one!)
-Avoid Any Pier Pressure
-Let your Cares Drift Away
-Take time to Coast
-SEA Life’s Beauty
-Adapt to Changing Tides
-Harbor Strength and Persevere
-Always Be SHORE of Yourself and Make Some WAVES!

Enjoy these last few days of SUMMER, having fun with your family and friends!
Have a safe and productive weekend!
