It’s here! My favorite time of the year! Here are 10 sure signs that it is summer in the Sarver home:
- Pool bag is packed and in permanent residence by the back door.
- There is $10 stashed in the key basket for when the ice cream truck drives through the neighborhood.
- Bedtimes? What are those?
- The pile of shoes by the door has been replaced with flip flops.
- No need for scented candles. There is an ever-present sunscreen scent wafting through the halls.
- Can’t find me? Check the hammock swings on the back patio. That’s where I’ll be, reading a book.
- Our freezer is stocked with Fla-Vor-Ice pops.
- Windows are down in car and air-conditioner is blasting. Love feeling the warm breeze!
- There’s a 90 percent chance that tonight’s dinner will be cooked on the grill.
- Skin is a little darker, and hair is a little lighter, and I’m in a little bit better mood.
