Today marks the beginning of summer. Most schools have had their last day. The neighborhood pools are opening and warmer weather is upon us. Well at least it is supposed to be! I love the smells of summer. Flowers blooming, outdoor grilling, pool chlorine (lol) and just fresh air. Right now the humidity hasn’t yet arrived so our mornings and evenings are cool. I love seeing all the families outside, playing baseball, riding their bikes, and walking in the park. Summer swim team season begins. We spent many years on that pool deck. And I cherrish all those memories. A new group of young parents are carrying on the traditions in our neighborhood. The feeling of the beginning of summer makes me think that I can tackle anything!
We are finishing our covered back porch. It’s a project we have wanted to tackle for many years and it is finally coming to fruition. I can’t wait to sit out there on a hot summer afternoon. I can’t wait to sit out there during a summer rain. And I can’t wait to have friends over and grill out and enjoy our new space. You can bet that many containers of beer cheese will be eaten on our back porch.
The summer brings a whole new list of reasons for people to enjoy Kentucky Beer Cheese. When spending a day at the pool, beer cheese is the perfect snack. If you are headed to the lake for the weekend, beer cheese is a great appetizer to enjoy on an evening cruise. Cooking out with friends in your backyard, serve Kentucky Beer Cheese with pretzels and celery or put on your burgers! The possibilities are endless.
As we all celebrate with family and friends the beginning of the summer season, let also remember the reason for Memorial Day. It is a day for us to honor and mourn the US military who died serving our country! We have all the freedoms we enjoy because of their sacrifice.
