Because she is absolutely delightful and upbeat!!! Thank you for the tag--my favorite summer memories etc.

Fav Summer Movie

We seriously have movie "seasons" in our home. I have certain fav's I have to watch at Christmas too. But for summer I love-

Jaws! and The Flamingo Kid....I also enjoy seeing the new blockbusters with my son's. We loved Transformers this year and as many of you know I finally discovered Twilight

Fav Summer Cocktail

I love cocktailing in the summer. I kind of like to cocktail in general. I'm a huge fan of California Chard--J. Lohr. But I also enjoy a home made Margarita from time to time. I'm kind of boring in this category. Sorry.

Fav Summer Song

I live vicariously through songs/music. I love listening to loud music in my car. I love

Boys of Summer
Lose Control
Doing the Helen Keller
Shake It
Girlfriend

I could go on and on

Fav Summer Meal

This is sooooo easy! Lobster/King Crab Legs/Crab Cakes/Hard Shell Crabs--any and all seafood--yummy

Fav Summer Outfit

I live for clothes. I love Lilly Pulitzer--it is a summer staple. Let's face it when you are hot nothing looks more polished than a pressed cotton shift, a little kitten heel open toe shoe and lots of bangles. Even if you are a mess. I also love when it starts to get chilly. I'll wear shorts with heels and then a cashmere sweater.

Fav Summer Read

I have to say I've been a bit dissapointed with my summer reading. I'm hoping when I buy the Twilight series that will change. I wish Plum Sykes would come out with a new book or that author of The Devil in The Jr. League.

Fav Summer Moment

I have fond memories of summer. And each year in aticipation of summer I recall just how lovely it is and wait with baited breath. But now that I have children I have to say it is hectic. I don't want to sound like a total baby but I've barely had time to exercise or bath since all I do is cart my oldest to regatta's. Whine whine whine. Before children I loved sitting on the beach and then sitting around the beach house laughing over cocktails. I love to walk/run on the beach (can't remember the last time I did that). But my fav moment I guess is going on our boat and seeing the smiles. I have yet to water ski this year (again whine whine whine). I do love going to Maine. I think my best memory is sitting by the pool, looking out at the river, reading a magazine in peace. Oh yes and hearing my children laugh (I don't want to sound like a total spoiled sport).

Now I get to tag people to tell us their summer favs:

Lillies and Grapes--she'll need something to do while she recovers
Bella Dreams
Things to Share
Step Inside
Mean Girl Garage

Stay Pretty
