as it is summer up north now and from all accounts hot as hades in some places, i thot this little joy of summer might be handy for a few of you. :) worry not about the bad taste of young girls/toddlers clothing. worry not about the sorry excuse for translation in sewing machine manuals. worry not about that quilt that needs a new binding on it and you just couldnt bring yourself to ask to do it for them. worry not about the latest Paris Hilton ad for president....she wont be old enough til the 2020 presidential election. just invite some friends over for a BBQ and make this up for the liquid refreshments. enjoy!! j.


LOL.......I might be in trouble if I put that out at our end of summer BBQ. Too many kiddos apt to dip in.

LOL! I've sent the link to DD#2 -- she's getting a pool and planning a party.

way too much trouble.... but looks great. My mom (age 83) used to tell stories about her teen days when the boys would bring big melons, inject them with a lot of vodka (syringes used to be easier to come by) and then they'd eat melon and get drunk.

sunny I never did anything half that fun.........

We were having a very stressful week at work a short time ago. Courthouses are like that ;) A co-worker thought it would be a nice idea to "marinate" the watermelon pieces she brought in for lunch, in vodka or rum. She tried it at home first. And decided she better not bring any in, they went down very easily and she was tipsy in a hurry.

We told her we need to sample them also, but then we do have a written rule about bring liquor in that place.....

does someone on staff have a big enough property to set up camp? you all bring your tents and sleeping bags and food/drink to share and make a weekend of it. you cant be expected to drive home in the condition you're likely to end up in with all that food, drink, fruit. :) the usual BBQ leaves you having to drive home, so a weekend or overnighter is safer all around. would not look good in the morning paper if too many of you got pulled over and breath tested only to find you've still got way too much alcohol onboard, eh. hmmmm, best bring some other things to do inbetween imbibing. balls, rackets, clubs, whatever works where you are going. perhaps some hand sewing to keep the more sedentary amused too. j.
