Nice big ice cold lemonade, with the rest of the pitcher beside me, a rocking chair and a fan.

Kara on 7.14.2014

Holy moly, it’s getting hot!! I love a good diet Coke straight from the fountain with lime and a little ice. When it’s this hot, it doesn’t last long enough to need much ice. :)

Wish I could go swimming so soaking up the AC is working and taking vitamin D….lol

My favorite thing is mint chocolate chip ice cream. Most logical and beneficial is ice water.
