There never seems to be a more crowded place to hang out in the summertime heat than the beach. Many people travel from places far and wide just to get a glimpse of the ocean and do absolutely nothing with thousands of strangers other than take a break from the grind and perhaps get a [...]

11 Tasty Summer Salads That Make Your Mouth Water [PHOTOS]

Wendy Lynn — Thu, 21 Jun 2012 17:38:44 +0000

Now that summer has arrived, so have my favorite summer salads. It’s funny how we classify some foods as ‘summer’ or ‘winter’ foods. I could eat potato salad in the winter if I wanted to, but it just seems wrong. Same goes for hot dogs and sausage. I rarely ever eat them in the winter, but in the summer, look out -- they’re everywhere.

At first, I was really excited about "The Dictator", but the more and more I see of it, it just looks like " Borat" part 2. I probably won't go to the movies to see it, but I surely will rent it. Either way, I'm.....

Today isn’t quite as warm as it has been over the record six days in a row with 80 or near 80 degree temperatures but it sure still felt great heading out to lunch without a coat in March. Last weekend I got a jump start on lawn clean up, picking up branches and trash that havegathered in the corner of my yard.
