Top 6 Summer Activities

 

Summer is in full swing. It’s time for some fun. First we need a cool and refreshing adult beverage to help you cool off on a hot day. You can make it ahead and enjoy whenever you like.

 

Summer Slush

 

Ingredients:

1 – 12 oz can of frozen orange juice

1 – 12 oz can of frozen lemonade

¾ cup of sugar

5 cups of water

2 cups of vodka

 

In large freezer proof container, mix in order given and freeze.

Serve ½ glass of slush with 7 up or ginger ale.

 

 

Now that you have your drink, here are a few suggestions to help you enjoy some summer fun.

 

1. Have a picnic. Eating outside is always preferable to eating indoors (as long as the mosquitos aren’t around). Treat yourself. Enjoy fresh fruit, cheese, crackers, fried chicken, pasta salad or whatever you desire. If it’s you and your honey, throw in a bottle of wine and make it a romantic evening. If it’s raining, spread a blanket and some pillows on the living room floor and make your fun indoors.

 

2. Try a new recipe one night a week. Get your family involved and all of you take turns choosing. They don’t have to be complex recipes—unless you’re so inclined. Keep it simple and fun. Fire up the grill if you have one.

 

3.  Dessert night! I’m sure you’re seeing a theme here. Spend a day baking some tasty treats and enjoy. Or recreate a traditional English tea, complete with scones and cream.

 

4. Have a movie marathon day. Pick a movie series, load up on snacks, and watch them back-to-back. Lord of the Rings, Die Hard, Bourne Identity, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Mummy. There are plenty to choose from. Or have a theme movie day—Disney, horror, comedy. Or binge a series on Netflix.

 

5. Take a walk or a drive somewhere different. Doesn’t have to be far. We all tend to be creatures of habit and take the same routes or go to the same places.

 

6. Read a book. Take yourself out to the backyard, the balcony, the beach, or walk to a park and enjoy a few hours.

 

And if you’re looking for something to read, you might want to check out the Secret Identities: A Boys Behaving Badly Anthology. The great thing about an anthology is the stories are shorter and you can sample a variety of authors. There’s something for everyone!

 

Inside Secret Identities: A Boys Behaving Badly Anthology, you’ll find stories by some of the hottest romance writers out there for readers who crave mysterious, enigmatic men and women who may not be who they claim to be. Perhaps they’re the new next-door neighbor with a secret mission, an alien from a far-away galaxy looking for his fated mate, or a spy trying to catch a foreign agent. Whatever their secrets, intrigue and passion follow…

 

My contribution is Perfect Stranger – An undercover DEA agent must keep his identity secret from the woman he’s falling for, a woman he’s also investigating.
