Ok, we're gonna need something to keep us [img]cool.gif[/img] when it gets hot this june.
Something tasty too.
You know with summer starting it has to be something that fits the season, something "summery"
Kinda funny but whenver I think of summer I think of all those great songs of summer and great songs to cruise to. You know the songs that you sing out loud even with the windows down as you cruise along with your shades on. One of those songs is "smooth" by Sanata. I just cant keep from singing along, it's it's such a great song to cruise....
Wait a minute.
Smooth!?!?!?
What's smoother than smooth?
A smoothie.
And what's a great way to keep [img]cool.gif[/img] on a hot day?
Frozen stuff like freezes and snow cones.
THAT'S IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Junes flavor of the month is the smoothie and all it's frozen friends. (hey, even frozen margaritas and daquaris count in this one LOL!) And what they heck, lets include phosphates while we're at it.
So there you have it.
As always, all chips chunks dips dunks (you know the rest) are in as well but the official (ok somewhat sort of kind of slightly partially in some sense to a vast group of people official) flavor of june is cold and smooth!
Is there a better way to keep [img]cool.gif[/img] when you're feeling hot?
maybe, but only a few [img]wink.gif[/img]
More to come.
Sports is next.

OK, we've gone over this before but I kinda need to do it one more time (at least LOL!)
I'm not a religious person, everyone knows that (how could they not by now [img]graemlins/hmmm.gif[/img] )
Anywho, I'm leaving promotion of the church fests for the most part up to the churches themselves because I'm sure that they can handle it and will do a fine job of it. Plus, there are so many it sould make this thing even longer than it allready is.
With that being said, I will mention a few here and there and most of those will most likely be from the area where I live as a way of "giving back"
Please dont look upon my not mentioning all of them as a slight to anyone, it isnt.
OK.
