s t d o m .c o m CONTRIBUTORS As an adult, do you still get that summer itch that makes you long to be outside swimming or goofing off? Me too! This summer I vow to scratch that itch. To not be a workaholic. To do more with my family. I will start by planning a few mini-vacations—even if I only get away for two days, I will make them count! What will you do to make this summer memorable and fun-packed? STEPHANIE EDITOR Summer days seem to stretch endlessly into evening and are full of possibility. Longer days means later nights with friends and family enjoying all the outdoor things you missed during the winter. The smell of freshly cut grass and sizzling BBQ on the grill just add to the greatness of the season. This summer, I hope to take advantage of all the wonderful things this time of year brings and make happy memories with my loved ones. MAGGIE EDITOR To me, there is nothing better than feeling that blazing-hot Mississippi sun beaming down and then cooling off with a nice dip in the pool. Summer releases this sense of freedom within me that I still carry from my childhood when school would let out. This summer, I plan to feel, smell, hear, see and taste all the things that I love the most about the season, and I hope you will too!
