What were they like? Were they in a small town or big city? What was your favorite part of a parade when you were a youngster?

Did you walk, wave from a float, ride a horse, or cruise the route in another form of transportation? Describe the experience.

Pictured is our very first strawberry on our plant out on the Patio.

Please take a moment and walk out back on our patio. We have been doing a lot of work out there to make it more enjoyable.

5 6 Talk About It I Love a Parade From marching bands and floats to fire trucks and animals, parades are a festive way to celebrate a holiday or event. March into a discussion of your parade memories. Did you attend local parades when you were a child? What were they like? Were they in a small town or big city? What was your favorite part of a parade when you were a youngster? What about as an adult spectator? Have you ever participated in a parade? What was the occasion? Did you walk, wave from a float, ride a horse, or cruise the route in another form of transportation? Describe the experience. A grand marshal usually leads the procession. Have you or someone you know had the honor of being a grand marshal? Pictured is our very first strawberry on our plant out on the Patio. If you have not seen them, please take a look at all the fresh vegetables and our strawberry plant out back. Please take a moment and walk out back on our patio.

7 Looking Back at Summer Camps For over a century, summer camps have provided countless children the opportunity to connect with nature, learn valuable skills and create memories.

6 7 Looking Back at Summer Camps For over a century, summer camps have provided countless children the opportunity to connect with nature, learn valuable skills and create memories. In the late 1800s, overnight camps began popping up in the northeastern U.S. as a means for boys to break away from city life and build character, and were generally geared toward those from wealthy families. By the early 1900s, summer camps grew in number and diversity. National organizations like the YMCA and Boy Scouts catered adventures for boys from all social classes. Many of these camps focused on military basics and survival skills. At about the same time, summer sleep-away camps for girls were established to teach life skills and encourage independence. The Camp Fire Girls and Girl Scouts were among the programs that provided these outdoor experiences for young women. Starting in the 1950s, specialty camps began to concentrate on specific pursuits, such as academics, art, sports and music. Camps were also created for children with special needs and medical conditions. Today, there is a camp for nearly every interest. Summer Means Hot Dogs In 1957, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce proclaimed July as National Hot Dog Month. Easy to prepare, inexpensive and convenient, hot dogs are the perfect food to enjoy at a ballgame, picnic, festival or fair. The National Hot Dog and Sausage Council estimates that Americans consume 20 billion hot dogs each year. Although hot dogs are considered an all-american food, it is believed that frankfurters originated in Frankfurt, Germany, in the 1400s. The most popular hot dog topping is mustard, which is favored by 90 percent of adults. Children tend to prefer ketchup. Other favorites are onions, chili, relish and sauerkraut. Hot dogs were one of the first foods eaten on the moon. Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin ate wieners on their 1969 journey to outer space. In 1939, President Franklin D. Roosevelt served hot dogs to King George VI of England when he visited the United States. Of all the ballparks in the country, Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles sells the most hot dogs each baseball season. If you order a hot dog in New Zealand, it will come battered on a stick like a corn dog. To get one on a bun, you need to ask for an American hot dog. Last month we ventured out for lunch to Hotdoggers in Bay Harbor. We all tried different kinds of hot dogs. Who knew there were so many different ways to enjoy a American Favorite. The Detroit Coney was Stacy s personal choice, which she said was amazing. Avis had the Reuben Hotdog, and Marian had a Classic Coney dog, which was delightful she said. We like to try a different place to eat each month. If you are interested in going please see Stacy.
