This year seems to be going by so fast. I can’t believe that it is almost Memorial Day- the unofficial start to Summer. This Summer I am looking forward to picnics, potlucks, strawberry picking, outdoor farmer’s markets, and weekends spent at Lake Michigan. What are you looking forward to most this Summer?
