Sippin' on lemonade
Lemonade I have to say is the universal "the heat is on, gimme somethin' cold to sip," summer time drink. Aside from beer of course, lemonade is a drink that will sat-is-fy to the fullest.
Who's with me on this one??
In all seriousness though, when I'm laying on the beach (which I do a lot because don't be jealous- I live at one) my thirst is quenched from an ice cold lemonade better than by anything else. This fact dates back to my childhood when my best friend since diapars and I would set up our wagon on a hot summer day with all the ingredients to profit from this thirst quencher. I'm talking about a good old fashioned lemonade stand at 10 cents a pop. People didn't stop because they knew us, or because we were so darn cute, or even because it was such a bargain, they stopped for the simple truth- lemonade beats out all other competitive "cool yourself down," treats.
Keep in mind please this is not an opinion of mine.....it's cold......real cold.....fact.
Anyway, because of lemonade, I find myself falling asleep under the sun these days, right on the beach which is different for me because usually I can't sit still. But that in turn leads to a golden glow and a more relaxed feeling inside. I sort of get lost in the ocean, without actually getting wet. Honestly, nothing beats it. I'm in love with the beach and I don't think I'll ever go back. And I know I won't ever stop drinking lemonade.
Happy Summer Everyone!!

Hey Beth,
I must tell you I read your entries all the time. But I am happy you took the step and moved back to SC I think it will fulfill everything that needs to be answered for you. Ever since we waited tables and were smiling people greeters together at Ruby Tuesday, I always looked up to you for your courageous spirit and livelihood. Just remember what you write doesn't just let you vent but allows others like myself to realize I am not the only person going through some life questioning alterations, but it is the new chapters in life we begin to open that will allow us to grow and soar free. P.S. Lemonade always hits the spot!!! Keep smiling and live life to it's fullest...

Danielle,
That was really sweet of you! When people read my blogs and then don't comment I have no clue who is actually reading them and it makes me feel good to know you've been following them right from the start! IM me sometime so that I have your screen name and we can keep in touch. Thank you again!
