The season is too short to be stuck inside. That's why you need to take your parties outdoors as often as possible.

Actually, many people share a birthday today. Which means that every day offers the possibility for a celebration, even if it's not a holiday. Give your favorite birthday boy or girl a surprise party and make their day extra special.
We don't have the kind of yard suitable for a swimming pool, and that's fine most of the year, except during the dog days of summer. Thank goodness I have friends with pools, and I know that if I complain enough about the heat, they'll invite me to their next pool party... please?
As much as I like to think of myself as a fairly healthy hostess who serves only the best food to her guests, I sometimes don't take as good care of myself. For example, on most days, that 5-a-day prescription remains an unachieved goal. But now that summer fruit is in season, I can easily double that goal. Berries are bursting on market shelves and I can't resist. There's little room left for the other groceries in my cart. When my shopping cart overflows with berries, it must mean that it's time to host a Strawberry Tea Party, so that my juicy treasures don't get moldy before I can eat all of my greedy purchases.
