Thanks for teaching me the meaning of estivation! It’s something that’s highly necessary during summers in Spain!
I loved reading about your 4th of July memories. I’m pretty sure a flag cake graced our cookout table at least a couple of years in my childhood! I’ve actually never heard of freezer pickles! What are they?

You captured the simple pleasures of summer so well and I learned a new word. I hope to stock my freezer soon with icy treats. So fun! And in Texas, we definitely estivate? If I remembered that right. Lol.
I've made this recipe a lot over the years and has always been a crowd pleaser... it's festive, light, delicious, & healthy bc there's in fruit in it of course! ;-P
Oh, I love the word estivate and the state of it…I’d never heard that word before. Loved reading your recollections, Kim. One thing I remember my grandpap always having were the banana popsicles with two sticks that you could crack in half and share. I always loved when he split them with me! And I still remember shuttering when he would bite them with his false teeth! :)
You look just like your mom! Beautiful! I love chocolate ice cream! I worked at Carry-out Foods and scooped ice cream for years. I never wanted anyone to feel jipped. I was very generous. Those look like some of my handiwork.

What fun memories you have! So maybe it wasn’t summer vacations, but I think they are so interesting. Stay cool my friend. Love reading about you!

Great minds think alike! I also made a similar cake for the 4th,
& used the same flag design on mine (although, I forgot to take a pic of mine)... https://cakescottage.com/2016/05/11/no-bake-summer-berry-icebox-cake/

Love the pic of you and your mom <3
Sun tea! I think we must have had that same jug :) and that word, estevate, it's like the hygge of summer!
Great picture. I know how much you miss her.

Great read, Kim!
Estivation!! Oh. My. Goodness. That's a fabulous word. I'm definitely estivating....
I totally dip green onions in a little pile of salt...learned that from my mum....they do tend to linger nowadays, though....:D
Cool Whip. Well. That's something I could never get behind. xo
