First, the winners of last week's Save A Cat/Dog Contest are:
Julia - the cat key chain
Charlene - the dog key chain
Congrats and well done to everyone for adopting a pet. I plan to have more ASPCA-beneficial contests in the future. (Julie and Charlene, send me your mailing address at jbstanleyauthor@comcast.net so I can ship your key chains).
Today, I'm keeping the post short. I wanted to share my five favorite things about summer.
1. The pool! Here's my son jumping off the diving board.
2. Flipflops.
3. Popsicles. I especially like a Creamsicle.

4. Watermelon. The ultimate summer taste.
5. Sparklers and fireflies. A tie here. They both illuminate a summer night sky with surreal beauty.

What's your favorite summer symbol?
