I'm not good with alcohol, but a great iced tea and that beautiful beach would be wonderful. Just the thought makes you happy. Hugs, Marty

I wonder if I could order that gorgeous blue drink without the vodka and still sit in that wonderful blue chair while I gaze at the fantastic blue sky? Thanks for sharing. Happy Blue Monday.

Kathleen, you take the chair on the left and I'll sit to your right. We can toast those pretty blue drinks to a beautiful sunshiny day :)
