A Most Americana Evening

An All-American Celebration
Summer brings late nights and good lemonade. A birthday party attended this past week certainly encapsulated the essentials of the season. Tucked away in the corner of a park, a checkered tablecloth set the table for 8 was festooned with bistro lights as well as triangle paper banners. Needless to say, the scene was Pinterest worthy. Dress code demanded red, white and navy, and plates were piled with rotisserie chicken, potato salad, biscuits and baked beans. Mason jars were adorned with blue and white striped paper straws and filled herb infused lemonades.  Paper lanterns provided some light as the sun set, but not enough to douse the shine of candles on the apple pie, or the sparklers that followed dessert. Set after a long day of class and spent with good friends certainly allowed the event the title of"A Most Americana Start to Summer". 

 This get-together certainly set the tone for all the following summer get togethers that may or may not occur this season, but I am most certainly inspired to get into the summer season. So far so good-with one fantastic party under my belt, a lovely day at the Farmer's Market, I'm well on my way to enjoying the season's spoils.  Note-Brian's Macaroon's are the best I've ever had and an evening listening to some local talent at the Provo Rooftop concert series is a great place to eat the whole box. All in all, it certainly seems to make the days in the office worth it.

Mint Limeade in hand, and a darling box of Mac's, we rocked the opening
morning of the Provo Farmer's Market.
