The author Henry James once wrote: “Summer afternoon—summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.” I couldn’t agree more. So as you relax and savor these lazy, hazy, crazy days, take a cool dip into the pages of Reminisce, packed with tales from bygone summer days—family vacations, splashing at the swimming hole and, of course, s’mores. As always, please consider forwarding this newsletter to a friend or family member who may enjoy a blast from the past. And if you’ve received this newsletter from a friend, go ahead and sign up yourself.
