Simple Joys

Swimming or better yet relaxing on a raft in a pool is a simple joy. Unfortunately, this isn’t my backyard.  It’s my friend Miki’s and this photo really doesn’t do it justice.   If you don’t have your own pool (which I’m included in this category) luck has it Memorial Weekend is when most pool’s open.  At least that’s the case with my neighborhood pool.  I also enjoy sitting on my patio with a book and a beverage when the weather is nice.

 

 

Memorial weekend is also a time for spending time with family and friends and firing up the grill.  Monday I shared a post on planning the perfect BBQ.  If you haven’t had a chance, be sure to check out the other bloggers in the series for some decorating ideas, recipes and what to wear to a BBQ.  Click on each of the links below for some great ideas.  We’ve created a pinterest board titled Lazy Days and BBQ’s and we will be putting together an ebook with all of these ideas as well as additional recipes and information.
