Happy Memorial Day, Friends!

Summer 2016 has begun. Grab your denim jackets, charge up your golf carts and maybe hire a small child to chauffeur you through the Catskills. (That's me circa 1989 in the back of the cart with my sister. Our little cousin is at the wheel.) This weekend, we've got 17 relatives in our 5-bedroom, 2-bathroom double-wide trailer. We're using almost all the beds plus a couple of couches in the living room, and it's working out! Thank goodness we got central air up in here.

Hope you're having a great weekend, too. Thanks so much for reading. Looking forward to hanging out with you guys all summer long.
