Well, I am out of town (back in west Texas to finish installing graphics) and thought I had set this to post early this morning. Obviously, that didn't happen. I am bootlegging some internet on my lunch break and am disappointed that my best laid plans did not go as hoped. So, hopefully better late than never, here is today's post:
*************************************
Nothing says "summer" like a cool treat. Sno-Cones, Dairy Queen, slushes, root beer floats, iced tea, watermelon....these are all things that bring back memories from my own summers as a kid. Ice cream was still considered a treat back then, especially with fresh berries or peaches.
Today's Small Thing is to let yourself have a summer treat. It doesn't have to be a sweet, calorie-laden frappuccino (although that DOES sound mighty good!), it could be some frozen grapes or a glass of kool-aid if you'd like.
In my opinion, Summer Treats are best when shared with a child. If you happen to have a child handy, today would be a great day to stop down for a special delight of some kind. Seeing their face light up at the mention of a Sno-Cone is worth the drippy mess. If you don't have a little one around, a friend or spouse is the next best thing.
Go ahead! Enjoy yourself! You'll have to decide what treat to have, but the points are on me.
POINTS: 30 for treating yourself to summer goodness
