Opening Day

I love SUMMER and to celebrate opening day I plan to kick it off with a bang and crack down on my summer list. I have been making these lists for a few years now, ensuring that when the summer is over with that I have no regrets and look back with a big wide smile (and some tan lines)! Keep in mind that I follow the philosophy of reaching for the moon and landing in the stars!

Taste Bud Tenderness

I strongly suggest for anyone with a sweet tooth that they visit Salt Lake’s Banbury Cross and purchase an old-fashioned glazed donut. Leave it out in your car in 90 degree weather for about one to two hours.

Then enjoy the sweet tenderness!

I promise your taste buds have truly never lived till they have tried this.
