It Was the Summer of…

If you ask someone to close their eyes and think about summers past, odds are a smile will appear before a single word is uttered. We can picture our friends and hear the music as though it all happened yesterday. First, we were kids celebrating the end of the school year by trying to figure out how to ride our bikes while eating a jumbo Mr. Freeze. We fondly remember the swamp we spent the entire summer catching frogs in and the boat dock we spent the next summer on trying to impress the boys. Then there was that summer with that girl… What was her name? Who cares, it was the best summer.

Summer jobs were great because the work was fun and spending the paycheck was even better. Night after night of fun with friends and not caring how we felt as we crawled out of bed the next morning. We know exactly where we spent our first summer after getting married and we’ll never forget the first summer adventure we took without parental supervision.

Summer is about thrilling moments, stomachs tied in knots, and classic R & R. Kim Mitchell (1986) said it best:

"Who was gonna be,

Who would be the first to dance?

Who was gonna be,

Who would be the first to kiss?

Under those patio lanterns."

Why not create a space in your yard where you can put up your feet and share summertime memories? At Home Market Deals, we think the Bond Napa Valley 45 inch Fiberglass Fountain and the Fire Sense Stainless Steel Floor Standing Round Halogen Patio Heater are the perfect tools for creating a space where memories can be relived and made.

Let this be a summer to remember. Share some of your summer memories with us here!
