It is definitely winter and Madeline is home from Barbados. Can we bring Barbados here. Maybe I should have a beach party in February. I know of somebody who had a Beach party in February and even had a shipment of sand to make it more real. I think they have beachy stuff at the Dollar Store. I will make hamburgers, corn on the cob, pasta salad, fruit salad and pick up a Lemon Meringue pie. Maybe I will pick up chips as well. For drinks I will make a fruit punch with vodka. It will be very intoxicating.

How would you like to celebrate Barbados, in the dead of winter?
