Summer Memories

One of my favorite blogs, A PLACE TO DWELL, tagged me on my favorite summer memories. Here goes:

Favorite Summer Movie
– STAND BY ME (see here for more) and JAWS

Favorite Summer Cocktail – Mojito, Margaritas or Any Frozen Concoction.

Favorite Summer Song – Anything by my man Jimmy (Buffett that is) *** Little known trivia about me, when I was 16 I totaled my car in one of Jimmy's band member's yards. His name is Mac McAnally and he is more than just a band member, check him out HERE. Not only did I completely destroy my car but I also took out Mac's recycling bin, mailbox and tree. If by some CRAZY way Mac is reading this, I am still to this day so grateful for your kindness!

Favorite Summer Outfit – Sundress and Flip FlopsFavorite Summer Reading – Magazines- especially Us Weekly (I know, I know- it's summer though, my brain needs a rest)


Favorite Summer Moment – Well there have been so many that it is hard to pick one. I would have to say the first would be my wedding/honeymoon.


Sorry about the grainy picture, I don't have a good one on this computer. Can you believe this is the only picture we have of the two of us together on our honeymoon? I am usually camera happy but I guess I just needed to hang out for a while.

Another wonderful summer memory is going to Africa with my Dad (truely a dream come true)


I love this picture. My Dad always wanted to go to the Cape of Good Hope (there it is in the background) and I am so thankful to have been there in that moment.

***Another little known fact about Moi- my Dad is from Chile, it shocks most people since I have light hair and light eyes (well these days I have a little help keeping the hair light).

However, when it comes to the summer, any day outside- especially on the beach makes a wonderful memory to me.

*If you haven't checked out A Place To Dwell, you must stop by. You will feel like you have known her for ages!

PS- Thanks for the comments about my new header. It is just temporary until I get a graphic designer (who I can afford) to help me with a new logo for my business (and blog) to help integrate my business website, blog, letterhead, business cards, etc.
