Summertime makes some fine competition for my other favorite time of year, Christmas, and I couldn’t be happier that it’s here (for me, June marks the start of the season). I was so successful with this list last summer…and not so successful with the following lists, but I’m hoping these summer months will motivate me once again. Plus, most of these are just for fun, and isn’t that what summer is all about?!
