Calverton News: Annual chicken barbecue set for Aug. 1
It’s really feeling like summer. And with summer comes fresh fruits and veggies. For instance, local blueberries and raspberries are available, with peaches right around the corner. Don’t forget to freeze some of these delicious fruits. Toss them in a freezer bag, walk away and enjoy them in January! Just imagine, blueberry muffins on a snowy day, with fresh blueberries from the summer!

Happy birthday to Sharon Yousik on July 18. Her adorable granddaughter, Sammi, can’t wait to take her Nana to the racetrack Saturday night. Have a great time at the races, Sharon. Birthday wishes also go out to my grandson, Aiden Pelis, who will celebrate his 2nd birthday July 28. Aiden is adorable, has a mind of his own, and learns new stuff every single day. And yes, I spoil him! With a smile like that I just can’t help it. Happy birthday, little man, from your mommy and daddy, your big sister, Julia, Grandma Amma, Auntie Jamie, and Trisha. We all love you so much.
Another proud grandma and grandpa, Shirley and Everett Robinson of Calverton, were visited by family this past weekend and all had the best time. Uncle Rashard also joined in on the fun and got a workout from the little ones. Shirley and I compare notes about our babies and agree there’s nothing quite like being a grandparent.
That’s all for now. Enjoy the weather and get to the beach! Before you know it, dare I say the north wind will blow and these warm days will be just a pleasant memory. Get out there and have some fun. Till next time, be safe and I’ll talk to you soon. Take care. Bye.
